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? 😄

@heartsmyface Wow that sounds like an amazing experience.

[CorgiMommy]

What a great experience @heartsmyface 

[quspork]

That looks both beautiful and delicious, @heartsmyface! Sounds like a wonderful time! 

[heartsmyface]

@quspork  It was a beautiful evening!  We’ve been so busy all year that nights out together have been taking a backseat but this made up for all the whole year!  we’ll be regulars now that we’ve experienced the glory of it all!

@heartsmyface @This is straight up fairytale 🌹🥰❤️ The food looks great too 🥰😍 So magical so dreamy 👏❤️

[heartsmyface]

@blackkitty2014  Right!!!???   I kept saying I wished we knew about the place when we got married!  it would be an amazing wedding venue!   We’re already considering it for an upcoming event in the spring.  
The wonderful thing is that they are health conscious and feed you high quality teas sourced in Korea rather than alcohol.  The experience was so magical we didn’t even notice until after the fact that there was no wine menu.  we were high on antioxidants and life.

Oh my goodness, @heartsmyface, that really does look magical!  How did you find out about it?  Is it somewhere close to where you live?

[heartsmyface]

@CookieGirl1  It is pretty close to where we live.  Around a 20 minute drive.  It’s actually VERY close to where we used to live on the water!!!  
The owner uses high end oils and vinegars from the shop which is how we met.  
We’ve been meaning to go for a while now but the year has been hectic. 
They were actually filled up for the Christmas season but they did us a huge favour and invited us via a long narrow backroad through the rainforest, to experience the venue before they normally open.  The tea house is normally accessed by boat which would definitely add to the appeal 

[CookieGirl1]

@heartsmyface that's so cool!  It looks absolutely beautiful and that's so special that you got to go and enjoy the whole experience.

This place looks like it was absolutely magical! ✨ @heartsmyface I hope you had some of your own bread at home that you could eat safely with that delicious sounding butter they sent you home with. 😍

[heartsmyface]

@CynthieLu  Oh yeah!! That’s the plan!  🙌 or on some GF squash muffins.  

[CynthieLu]

Oooh that sounds good and comforting. 🙂 @heartsmyface 

[itsfi]

Oooouuuh!! Your photos are amazing @heartsmyface! 

Pear and bourbon butter? That sounds delicious! I may have to look into a recipe for that - homemade gluten free bread is something on my to do list and that butter sounds like it would pair well with.

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  The lighting was sooo good!  I’m pretty sure they made it that way by design.  
also yeah!  I’ve never even heard of it before.  There is definitely some very fine orange zest in there too.  
You just reminded me I bought a gluten free bread recipe book only to never make gluten free bread.  I need to put it to use!
