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? 😄

Ohhh, longan @blackkitty2014 😋 That last photo!!! 😍😍😍 So many delicious fruits.

I looked at the photo of your avocado and then looked at mine sitting on the counter and then back at yours - oh tropical climates, the avocados are huge and the ones we have here pale in comparison. 😂 

[blackkitty2014]

@itsfiOur avocado varieties are creamier than the Hawaiian varieties 😘 My husband is a big fan of avocados so everywhere he goes he has to try. Definitely ours (for example Haas) are creamier. The Longan is so sweet and fresh. I will miss this at home.

Sorry guys. I was soooo hungry and by the time I remembered… the food almost gone 😂🤣 Poke from my favorite poke place Da Poke Shack 😘 if I go back to this place again I will try to take the pictures first.

@blackkitty2014 Looks Delicious! Thanks for sharing with us!

@blackkitty2014 I've never had poke, but that looks so good. 

[blackkitty2014]

@PrettyPaint  If you like Sashimi you will like Poke. I like to think it’s Hawaiian Sashimi version 😘 They’ve truly delicious 🤤 

[PrettyPaint]

Ooooh I bet I would love it then! @blackkitty2014 

[CorgiMommy]

The only thing better than poke is poke on Hawaii @blackkitty2014 

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @CorgiMommy . This is 💯 made in Hawaii 😘

[CorgiMommy]

Now i really am jealous @blackkitty2014 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Everything looks fantastic and super flavorful I bet it was super tasty! Glad to hear you enjoyed it 🙂 @blackkitty2014 

[blackkitty2014]

Thx @peculiarzmakeup 😘

I love poke @blackkitty2014 💖 Your pic is bringing back memories - I would get up early to swing by this tiny booth inside a supermarket to get fresh made poke every morning and take it back to the vacation rental for that day's mid-afternoon snack ... or, sometimes for breakfast if I couldn't wait.😆 Oh wow, they gave you a lot of seafood too!

I hope you are having a fabulous time. Happy Thanksgiving!

[blackkitty2014]

I love poke too @itsfi My husband is not a fan of uncooked food but he loves seaweed and the cooked/smoked stuffs they offered. The place was so popular that by noon half the stuffs was gone. I wish we have a place closed to home offers poke this good Bonus : we have these for desert but we need to eat these for breakfast as well in order to finish these within couple days. We already ate 2 papayas 😘 and some rambutan. They are so sweet. Hopefully I can find custard apple in some other farmer markets

[itsfi]

I'm so jealous @blackkitty2014! 🤤 Those look so fresh and juicy - the papayas are huuuuge, and I bet they are bursting with flavor. Ahhhh, rabutan - I love that we can get there here and while they're good, they're not nearly as sweet and flavorful as they are where they are grown. Fingers crossed you find custard apples. 🤞🤞

lol, is it wrong that my knee jerk reaction was "more poke for you, blackkitty!" when I read that your husband is not a fan of uncooked foods? 😅

[blackkitty2014]

That’s my exact reaction @itsfi . More poke for me. 😘 The only con is sometimes we have to find some lunch places for the boys and I forgot to stop by my favorite poke place for mid day snack and the poke sold out fast. I got half dozen papayas at a steal $5 for all 6. 😂🤣

[itsfi]

Awesome deal on those papaya @blackkitty2014! Love tropical fruits! 😍 

Hopefully you can stop by and get another helping of poke at your fave spot before you leave for home.

[blackkitty2014]

Thx @itsfi . We tried to stopped by yesterday but they close to go fishing 😘

[CynthieLu]

Sounds like it was scrumptious @blackkitty2014 👌

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @CynthieLu . It’s really good. I love it

@blackkitty2014   Oooohh, seaweed salad- I love it!  Have you ever tried making it?  I need a good recipe. 🙂
