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? 😄

We did a lot of eating on our trip to American Samoa and Samoa, and then we both got sick traveling home, so we haven’t been eating too much this week. But, today I was craving spam fried rice for some reason, I guess because we traveled through Hawaii? I didn’t have green onions or many vegetables, but I had shallot, garlic and leftover steamed broccoli. 

Anyway, it turned out pretty great!

@sister13 ,

I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better. It seems like everyone who travels is getting sick lately.  Your Spam Fried Rice looks delicious!  I have never had this version, but, Fried Rice is a favorite!

[sister13]

Thank you! I‘ve gotten better at my fried rice. I think I used to add too much soy sauce.  I just can’t add too much spam because it’s very salty. We had the leftovers for breakfast the next day and it was almost even better. @tsavorite

I'm sorry that you got sick, @sister13!  Hope that you're feeling better for Christmas 🙂

[sister13]

Thanks, we are doing much better, thank goodness! @CookieGirl1 

[Ispend2much6]

@sister13  I hope you're both feeling better!

[sister13]

Definitely better now, thank you! @Ispend2much6

@Mellmars1185 ,

That must be good!

[CookieGirl1]

@Mellmars1185 Love an easy meal that you can throw into a bowl and be done!

[Mellmars1185]

@CookieGirl1 Thanks me too! I also find meals comforting from a bowl 🥣. Maybe that's just me?@?

[Ispend2much6]

@Mellmars1185  I LOVE this idea! 

[Mellmars1185]

@Ispend2much6 Thanks! I saw someone post a greek bowl and it inspired me. I made up the recipe. I forgot the kalamata olives. You can put whatever you like!

[sister13]

Yum, such a classic and delicious! @Mellmars1185
