What's on your plate?

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? 😄

Re: What's on your plate?

I am looking at your beautiful meal thinking that I'm missing out having never given rice porridge a fair shot @WinglessOne. This all looks fantastic 😍

Re: What's on your plate?

@CynthieLu  One great thing about rice porridge is its versatility: it’ll take on the flavor of any type of broth or stock you cook it with, and you can add pretty much any protein and veggies to it. Cooking + stirring the rice (for what can seem like forever) to the consistency you like is the challenging part. Some folks like a loose soupy porridge where the rice grains retain their slender shape; others prefer a thick porridge where the rice grains puff up; and some, like me, like something between those 2, though I won’t turn my nose up at either of them. 😄 And that’s just savory porridge. There’s also sweet rice porridge, which can taste amazing. 

 

That’s a long way to say you should give rice porridge a chance. 🙂 

Re: What's on your plate?

I think I will now. @WinglessOne. I can tell I've been missing out on something 😊 

Re: What's on your plate?

I dipped into a holiday flavor early and drank

Peppermint mocha iced coffee

Gatorade

 

To eat today my husband made me

Grilled cheese

Tomato soup

With saltines 

Re: What's on your plate?

Oooh, peppermint mocha iced coffee? That sounds so good @MrsAllison. Just the thought of grilled cheese and tomato soup warms my stomach and heart - a classic pair and one of the most comforting combinations! 😋 

Re: What's on your plate?

Tomato Soup and grilled cheese is a classic, chilly day pairing. Sounds like it was a great meal @MrsAllison!

Re: What's on your plate?

@MrsAllison Mmm sounds delicious. I love holiday coffee. I bought egg nog today to start putting in my coffee ️. Tomato soup is one of my favorites.

Re: What's on your plate?

Grilled cheese and tomato soup is a classic, and so comforting. @MrsAllison 😊

Re: What's on your plate?

Re: What's on your plate?

Mmmm, it all looks delicious @Mellmars1185! 😋 Love avocado toast! And wings! I haven’t had wings in a long time. May have to have some friends over to watch a game and make some. 

Re: What's on your plate?

@itsfi Thank you! That would be a fun way to eat them. Sometimes, we eat them while watching the show Hot Ones on YouTube 🔥🔥🔥

Re: What's on your plate?

Yuuum @Mellmars1185! Simple food with big flavour!

Re: What's on your plate?

@JoSometimes You know it! We season our wings with Montreal Chicken Spice. I find I enjoy them just like that but I enjoy having some variety with hot sauce 🔥

Re: What's on your plate?

@Mellmars1185 @Love avocado toast with chili flakes and honey. Looks yummy. Is it regular honey or hot honey?

Re: What's on your plate?

@SportyGirly125 Thank you. It is regular honey. I want to buy hot honey...or make some. I think will enjoy the meal more that way 🔥🍯

Re: What's on your plate?

I have never tried honey on my avocado toast before @Mellmars1185 I'm intrigued by this 🍯

Re: What's on your plate?

@CynthieLu @It’s so good. We have a local place that serves it with chili flakes and honey. When my husband and I make it at home we make it with Mike’s hot honey. 

Re: What's on your plate?

Hot honey sounds so yummy for this @SportyGirly125 😍

Re: What's on your plate?

@CynthieLu It was my first time trying. I think I prefer it without the honey 🍯

Re: What's on your plate?

I hit "pause" on salad for a meal the other night and went with gluten free pumpkin ravioli from Trader Joe's, with a dusting of freshly grated parmesan cheese. Simple and simply delicious. 😋 I thought about drizzling some extra virgin olive oil over it, and I think it would have tasted great with it, but it was oh so good without as well. Dinner also included balsamic vinaigrette glazed brussel sprouts as a side dish, but I forgot to take a photo. Leftovers were part of lunch the next day.

For those who wanted something meatier, I made a meat ragu and added that, along with freshly grated parmesan cheese, atop the pumpkin ravioli. btw, they thought the pasta being gluten free was good. I may grab the non-gf one for them to try and compare with the gluten free version the next time they're here.

Re: What's on your plate?

This looks perfectly scrumptious!  😍🧡 If I lived where there was a TJ's I would definitely run out right now and get some. @itsfi Yum!
