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? 😄

For dinner we used a leftover steak and made steak tacos. They were delicious. I put my tzatziki on them. The theme tonight was all about not wasting and using up what we had in the fridge.

@Mellmars1185  Great way to not waste food.  I totally agree with you!  And tacos with steak sound delicious 😋 

[Mellmars1185]

@Cissy63 Thank you. In my house you can never go wrong with tacos. In fact, we are having fish tacos tonight!

[JoSometimes]

@Mellmars1185 I love transforming leftovers into a completely different meal. Tacos was a smart and tasty choice especially with your tzatziki! That sound like a delicious meal!

[Mellmars1185]

@JoSometimes Thank you! Tonight we are using the leftover cheese and tzatziki to make tuna melt sandwiches. I hope I remember to take a photo.

@Mellmars1185 Tuna melt sandwiches take me back to university. They were affordable and filling. 😋

Today I made some homemade tzatziki with some dill from my garden. I don't know if I overwatered the dill or it was too hot today but I had to cut it down because it started to wilt and go a bit yellow. I have to say I impressed myself with this one!

@Mellmars1185 ,

This would be delicious!  We grow our own dill, too.  I love it!

[Mellmars1185]

@tsavorite It was really good. My dill wont grow fast enough aince I cut it though 🤔. Any pointers?

[tsavorite]

@Mellmars1185 ,

Always grow more dill than you think that you will need.  It grows slowly.  Sorry.  

As the dill grows and tries to flower, if you pinch them off, the dill will grow taller.  It can grow 4 feet tall.

Or, having lots of dill plants is a good idea, too.  We dry our dill and store it, so we have some for year-round use.

[JoSometimes]

@Mellmars1185 That looks fresh and delicious! Even better that you grew some of it yourself!

[Mellmars1185]

@JoSometimes Thank you very much!

[blackkitty2014]

It’s a proud moment when you made a dish with stuffs right from your garden @Mellmars1185 😘👍

[Mellmars1185]

@blackkitty2014 Thanks. It is rewarding, it tastes better and hits different.
