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? 😄

Your dinner looks delicious! @peculiarzmakeup I haven't tried or heard of this dish before but I'm picturing something kind of close to hollandaise. Sounds like a treat 😃

[peculiarzmakeup]

On Tuesday I went out for dinner with a friend. I got the Tuna Poke Bowl. It was soooo good! I was so hungry that I forgot to take a picture. I found a picture online from the restaurant.

Tonight, I made a beef rice bowl inspired by this dish. I added edammame, cilantro, sesame seeds, and freshly squeezed lime. Again, I forgot to take a photo.

Lovely! I’ve been making

poke this summer and working on perfecting my recipe, though i basically forget something every time. It’s still always delicious, though. @Mellmars1185 

[Mellmars1185]

@sister13 I bet your recipe is amazing. I liked the crunchy element of the fried chip like pieces. It was so fresh and tasty. What type of rice do you use?

[CynthieLu]

Sometimes we're just living in the moment 😀 sounds like both were fantastic meals. @Mellmars1185 

I think I'm most likely to think of taking a photo after I'm done. In there moment I just want to eat, lol.  

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu I love what you are saying. I am a person who likes to enjoy the moment. I am not one to take photos. I really appreciate when others take photos because I don't think to snap a shot. I love to enjoy the moment, but I appreciate the photos later (that I have not taken 🤣)

[CynthieLu]

Lol 😂😂 @Mellmars1185  but I totally get it. 😜

[peculiarzmakeup]

Looks so tasty! I’m glad you enjoyed! @Mellmars1185 love the variety of flavors included! 

[Mellmars1185]

@peculiarzmakeup Thank you so much! 😊

[mishanyc]

@Mellmars1185 Sounds delicious 😊. I love cilantro and lime dishes especially this time of year.

[Mellmars1185]

@mishanyc Thank you! Aren't they so fresh and flavourful? The rest of my household does not enjoy cilantro. Whenever I am out, I always go for the dishes with it!

[mishanyc]

@Mellmars1185 Yes, they add so much flavor you usually can't go wrong with it.

[CynthieLu]

Some yums!

Ahi Tuna with Lime and Cilantro flavours. The salad is arugula with avacado and nuts with a sesame dressing. 🙂

This meal was not made by me, I was out to eat with friends. 💓

[sister13]

Oh that looks amazing! @CynthieLu
