What's on your plate?

[lylysa]

Hello there, ladies and gents!

Keeping in line with all the fun and interactive threads asking about your most recent halls, items you have your eyes on, what you're currently wearing, what's your hair routine, and more, I've decide to branch out and ask:

"What's on your plate?"

The beauty world doesn't just stop at skin care and cosmetics, it also goes hand in hand with your overall health and well-being, so with that, I'm curious to see what we're all chowing down and snacking on be it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, or inbetween!

For those with apps that help count calories or to those who just want to keep a log, here's a place to share, possibly find and share some recipes, and even tips on maintaining a balanced diet.

Don't just share food items, but even drinks! I'm a huge fan of tea and at least have a cup of green tea a day (anti-oxidants) and drink plenty of water.

For lunch today, I had:

-Brown rice

-Steamed egg

-Steamed red snapper with green onion, sesame oil, and black pepper

-Gai lan (it's a type of Chinese vegetable/greens)

Now, tell me, Beauty Talk world, what do you have? 😄

Last night we made an easy meal that was delicious. Ramen noodles with a fried egg, green onion, cilantro (for me only), sesame seeds and chili oil with crunchy garlic.

This looks and sounds delicious and comforting @Mellmars1185!!! 😋 There’s something about a fried egg over … anything! 🍳🥰 

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi Thank you! The fried egg definitely took thie meal to another level 😋🥚🍲

[CorgiMommy]

@Mellmars1185 looks delicious 

[Mellmars1185]

@CorgiMommy Thank you! It was super tasty 🍲

[CynthieLu]

Simple and delicious make for a magical pairing. Yum! @Mellmars1185 

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Thank you. It was super east to make as a team. I cut the veggies and fried the eggs. The SO made the noodles.

[CynthieLu]

I love team work suppers @Mellmars1185.

Have you guys ever had those Samyang stir fried spicy ramen noodles before? They are sooo yum!

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Is Samyang the brand name? 

[CynthieLu]

Yes have your seen them before? They have regular ramen soup and then this line of spicy stir fry style ramen.

The angrier the character on the front, the more spicy the dish.

So good when your own veggies and egg etc.. 🤩🤩

The Super Bowl didn’t end up the way I wanted but dinner turned out pretty well.

I made buttermilk fried chicken 😋 and a salad with baby kale, arugula, spinach,  mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumber, red quinoa and pepito seeds, dressed with an orange vinaigrette.

[CynthieLu]

Homemade buttermilk fried chicken? Wow! 😍 I bet this whole meal was delicious. @itsfi 

I love that you paired something fried with a big yummy looking green salad 🥗 💝 

[itsfi]

@CynthieLu, I’ve gotten good results when soaking chicken in buttermilk - it makes it so juicy and tender, even the breast which can be dry. I know some food experts don’t think buttermilk is a tenderizer for chicken (or other meat) but it’s worked well for me whenever I’ve used it. 

lol, including a salad gives me some justification for other … less healthy food choices. For the longest time, I’d order a salad with a side of French fries and a milkshake. There’s my veggies, extra with the fries, of course! 😝 Oh, and there’s dairy.  😂🤣😂

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi This meal looks crispy, crunchy and tasty! The fresh herbs on the chicken look delicious. The flavours in your salad sound fresh and tasty also. Sorry to hear the Superbowl did not end the way you were hoping.

[itsfi]

Thank you @Mellmars1185! Went for a little balance - some leafy greens to go with the fried treats. 😆 

[tsavorite]

@itsfi ,

I think it looks and sounds so yummy!  Why would anyone not want this salad!

[itsfi]

lol, right @tsavorite?!! It was tasty and the leftovers even better! 😋 And, with leftovers, meal prep for the week was that much easier! 👍🏼 

[tsavorite]

@itsfi ,

Leftovers?  All the better!  Whoever wasn't that interested in your salad didn't know what they were missing.  More for you!

[itsfi]

Awww, thank you @tsavorite! I can't complain about the leftovers because as you put it, more for me!
