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? 😄

Crispy tofu nuggets.

Oooo what breading is that? Panko?

[Blackwhiskey]

I just mashed corn flakes, lol! 

[lylysa]

Nice! I've using crushed multi-grain chips when I do chicken, but I've yet to venture into corn flake territory!

We went to an Italian restaurant that none of us had been to before for my mom's birthday.  I ordered spinach fettuccine with creamy pesto sauce.  I just LOVE fresh pasta!

[lylysa]

Fresh pasta = THE BEST!!!!

[guzelkiz]

It is!  I wish more places around here made pasta fresh.  It's a completely different world than boxed.

[Sprytely]

Pasta sauce--chorizo, collard greens, garlic, red pepper, tomato paste, salt...

[lylysa]

Mmmm, love the huge leaves of the collard greens in there! Plus it adds a nice touch of color!

[guzelkiz]

Pass the spoon please

[Sprytely]

We have leftovers 😄 I'm ecstatic it was quite tasty.

[guzelkiz]

I'll be right over!  Even though I just ate the pasta shown above 😉

[Sprytely]

Well since I live across the country, I'm sure you'll be hungry again by the time you get here lol

[guzelkiz]

Haha right! 😄

This is one of my fave dishes, so I have to share it with y'all. Pork with leeks.Topped with sour cream mixed with some mustard and vegeta. Baked. Simple, yet so friggin delicious!

We like it with white rice as a side.

[lylysa]

Ooo, I've never done pork with leeks!

WOW I love love love this thread. What I great idea. I normally never look at the off topic threads and boy have been missing out!

[lylysa]

There have been so many food photos and recipes shared! ^_^ Definitely chime in with anything you're enjoying or any recipes you love!

I just had to share this yumminess with you guys! Chicken, broccoli, mushroom, cheese... casserole. Generously topped with grated mozzarella, and some grated Parmigiano Reggiano for an extra kick of flavor. All topped with bread crumbs. Yum! Just look at that glorious, fantastic, crunchy crust on the top!!! 

( Put it on the smallest plate I've found, you know... to try trick myself... you know... so I don't end up getting myself into food coma. Had to be able to run errands after this baby! Waaaah?! )
