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? 😄
@CookieGirl1 But... your name! You can't forget who you are. 🙂 They look yummy- molasses crinkles?
@Ispend2much6 yup! I seem to make these every year but I usually manage to make them a bit ahead of Christmas, not on the day of 🙄. Fashionably late, I guess.
Some recent adventure's with my sourdough 🍞
I've been working at getting the hang of English Muffins. My sister's recipe uses coconut oil in the skillet and a little honey in the dough.
I still need practice, I've tried a few times and I haven't been able to manage even ones like her's. And I want them to be fluffier. I think I'm going to have to call her and pick her brain a little, I need some guidance.
We do think they taste good thou and we've been enjoying them. 🙂 I love the slight hint of coconut from her recipe.
And *proud moment* my fluffiest loaf to date. I just baked it this morning and in a few hours when it cools I can cut into it and give it a proper taste test.
This is about double the rise I've been getting, and I like to think it's very airy and light on the inside. Fingers crossed!
@CynthieLu Your baked sour dough baked goods look amazing. It is such a comforting scent when bread is baking. English muffins are one of my favourite breakfast foods. We make breakfast sandwiches almost every weekend.
@CynthieLu Yes! Bring on the fluff!! Looks like you did a great job! 🍞
I've never attempted english muffins, but you know what they say, "practice makes perfect." 😉 Coconut oil and honey sound delicious! 😋
Thank you. Ooh what do you like to make? @Shosh85
I am lucky and I have my sister to help answer any of my questions as I go,and I don't think I would have even attempted this if it hasn't been for her encouragement. 💗
I've made them 3 times since this, they've gotten better each time. 👌
@CynthieLu Oh, I haven't attempted baking bread in years! I usually leave that to my husband! 😂 (he's worked in the restaurant business for most of his life)
His specialty is pizza dough, but my most favorite of his is a loaded pizza bread - it's basically a loaf of bread infused with cheese, pepperoni and Italian spices. He also makes his own marinara to use as a dip. It is delicious! 😋
Wow that looks both beautiful and delicious! That is so cool that your making something like that homemade, it’s a lot of work but worth the reward so tasty! @CynthieLu
That's how I feel about it @peculiarzmakeup it's definitely worth the work. It feels so good to eat something I've made myself. And slowly improving feels rewarding too. I'm a novice bread maker and it's been a fun thou slowish learning process. 😅
You’re doing amazing. Keep it up in your fabulous efforts it looks so delicious and definatley a rewarding process I love homemade. Do you like putting anything on it? @CynthieLu
I love fresh bread on the side of dinner or with soup @peculiarzmakeup but it has so many good uses. Is there a favorite way you like this enjoy fresh bread?
I would say as a side too but sometimes with cream cheese 🙂 @CynthieLu
That looks like fun time @CynthieLu . Who cares what they look like, the taste is what counts.
Thank you and you are right @CorgiMommy, the taste really is the important item here. A long as I have that down everything else is just a minor detail. 🍞💕
Oh my gosh, @CynthieLu, that loaf looks AMAZEBALLS. I bet it tastes absolutely delicious, too.
The loaf turned out so well, thank you! @CookieGirl1 We cut into it for supper and I'm happy to say it was tasty!
@CynthieLu It looks like it could float away any minute! Beautiful (and, I'm sure, yummy.)
Thank youuu! 💕 There's nothing like fresh bread. @Ispend2much6 I can't believe it turned out as good as it did. I just need to figure out the whole muffin thing next. 😉🍞
