Healthy Thai Carrot Soup
If you’ve ever wished you could drink peanut sauce through a straw, this is the soup for you. Since discovering Thai food years ago (as inauthentic as it may be in my world), I’ve fallen in love. I make Pad Thai for dinner (find our go-to recipe in our 31 Meals Cookbook) several times a month, primarily because we love any and every excuse to douse things in peanut sauce. I love serving our Pad Thai with loads of fresh diced carrots for added crunch and nutrition.
A Vegan Cream Substitute (That Tastes Better Than Cream)—Genius Recipes
Every week—often with your help—Food52's Executive Editor Kristen Miglore is unearthing recipes that are nothing short of genius. Today: A brighter (and vegan) alternative to cream—for all your soups, sauces, and sides. Even if you love cream; even if you love it so much that you plunk it into gratins and soups in long, loose-wristed pours; even if you are a person who makes luxe frittatas like this one, which calls for an entire quart of heavy cream—even you are about to fall for this low-fat, vegan cream alternative.
Detox Smoothie « Drinks
Yep, that’s a healthy green smoothie? I realize things like these are rather scarce over here, at this little place of mine. But before you start wondering whether I’ve overcome a head injury recently, let me explain what’s going on…

Dill Pickle Soup
Tip Hero It’s soup season and I’m always interested in trying out different types of soups. These year I was on an African Peanut Soup for a while. I wanted to venture out again and find a warm satisfying soup that mixes things up a bit and that’s when I discovered the wonderful Dill Pickle Soup. Check out the video below:
Grab-and-Go Omelette in a Baggie » The Lovely Bits
So, Krista and I spent last week griping about how after celebrating the arrival of warm weather with BBQs and Margaritas, we should probably get on a clean eating plan so we can put on our bikinis this summer with confidence and strut around the beach feeling hot to trot. Doing an informal poll of our girlfriends, we found out that the number one concern is that dreaded tummy bloat. From past experience, we know that to get that flat belly and lose the bloat, we have to do low carb. Ugh.
Apple Pie Caveman Bars
Woo so what a week it was last week. Had an amazing week at PaleoFX with a bunch of friends geeking out on the latest and greatest in Paleo with the biggest names in the community. If you want to read about it you can in my PaleoFX Roundup. It was definitely a much needed vacation for me but I can honestly say I am going to sleep a lot more now that I am back to work haha. I think that at any given point in the house I was in that someone was awake at all times. That poor rental agency is really going to wonder why their electric bill for the week doubled their usual Monthly bill.
Swiss Chard & Ricotta Pie (Low Carb & Gluten Free)
You may remember that a few months ago Jones Dairy hired me to develop some recipes for their website, using their delicious gluten free sausage products. One of the recipes I came up with was a quiche, using their gluten free mild breakfast sausage rolled out as the crust. It came out great (I’ll post links to the recipes when they go live over on the Jones Dairy site), and I wanted to use the same crust concept for some other low carb recipes here on IBIH. Since I still had some rolls of the sausage they sent me to use in the recipes, I decided to fool around with it this weekend. My in-laws had an abundance of swiss chard from their garden recently and were kind enough to share, which made me happy because my garden did not cooperate at all this year! I love rainbow swiss chard so much for both it’s beauty, and it’s flavor – but you could also substitute spinach in this recipe if you can’t get, or don’t like Swiss Chard.
Good Eats: 3 Busy Girl Lunches
Brown bagging it is one of the best ways to ensure that your midday meal is nutritious and easy on your wallet. But for busy working girls like your Team LC editors, there isn’t exactly time to whip up a gourmet spread on your lunch break. And since mornings can be hectic too (a topic we covered last week with our Busy Girl Breakfast ideas), one of the best timesavers I’ve found is packing my lunch the night before… Today I’ll be sharing some make-ahead meal ideas straight from my lunchtime repertoire. Not only are these three dishes delicious, but they can all be prepared earlier in the week and kept in the fridge for a few days—ready to grab-and-go on your way out the door.
