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? 😄

Two pasta dishes from the past two nights. The top is an orzo with ground beef, zucchini and other veggies with a broiled feta/bread crumb topping for some texture. The bottom is a tomato risotto with burrata.

Both dishes sound and look amazing, @haleyvvvv ! Risotto and buratta sound like a winning combination.

[CynthieLu]

Those both look soo good 😍😍. I should never come on this thread hungry @haleyvvvv I'm wanting to try those both so much right now. Lol.

Yum and yum @haleyvvvv! I had a late night snack just now but I’m getting a craving for pasta just looking at these!

My husband’s cooking the last couple of days

[CynthieLu]

He's a keeper 😉 @SportyGirly125  They look like really tasty dishes. Yum!

[SportyGirly125]

@CynthieLu Thank you

[Ispend2much6]

@SportyGirly125  He did great! The steak looks perfect!

Red enough to be tender but not red enough to still be walking.😂

[SportyGirly125]

@Ispend2much6 @Haha. Yea he likes it medium rare whereas I like it medium. 

[Mellmars1185]

@SportyGirly125 Your husbands cooking looks healthy and delicious! Great job!

[SportyGirly125]

@Mellmars1185 Thank you. I’ll let him know so he has to keep at it. Haha. 

[JoSometimes]

Steak and roast veggies! Simple and delicious. My compliments to the chef @SportyGirly125!

[SportyGirly125]

@JoSometimes Thank you. He was very proud of it.

New Year's Eve charcuterie board. I forgot to add the olives.

 

[CynthieLu]

That board looks great! @Mellmars1185 Boursin cheese is goooood. 😍 They had a Apple Maple one out this year, did you see it?

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Thank you! I saw the maple one, yes! This one was the fig balsamic flavour. It was my first time trying it.

[CynthieLu]

I saw that one too @Mellmars1185 figs are imo delicious and sweet. 💜 How did you guys enjoy it?

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu At first bite, it was more vinegary than expected. The more I ate, the more it grew on me. It was more balsamic flavoured than fig to me. With a nice glass of wine and some salty crackers and cheese, it balanced out well. 

[CynthieLu]

Oooh that sounds snackalicious. 😃 @Mellmars1185 Thou, I think I would have preferred it with more sweetness,  especially with fig on the label.

I almost picked one of the fancy Boursin's up for our snack plate but we ended up going with different cheeses. 

[Ispend2much6]

Very pretty plating @Mellmars1185 . Snacks meals are the most fun. And for some reason they fill us up more quickly. Must be that our taste buds react better to variety.

@Ispend2much6 Thank you! Thay is true!
