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.
Unfettered F-U-N . . . Rainbow Jelly Shooter!
Rainbow Jelly Shooter Its been a whirlwind at the test kitchen. The book is progressing (crossing fingers that it is going to press in early December!), we have been working on a little something (three little somethings, actually) for Saveur.com, and about a million more actions items cropping up here and there, many of which have not received appropriate attention and are currently housed in a bin marked "anxiety provoking".
How to Make Homemade Peanut Butter - Breakfast Recipes
Here at Food52, we love recipes -- but do we always use them? Of course not. Because once you realize you don't always need a recipe, you'll make your favorite dishes a lot more often.
The Ultimate Green Power Juice
Yes, you are right, this is not a typical Picky Palate recipe :) Over the last 6 months or so, my husband and I have been doing a lot of blending (with our Blendtec) and juicing. I love drinking these in the morning for breakfast, it’s amazing how great you feel. We have a fun juice shop down the street from us called Nekter Juice Bar that we visit often. One of my favorite juices to order from them is their Toxin Flush which has all of the same ingredients as you will see below.
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.
Blueberry Lime-Aid Slushy
I tend to forget how hot the rest of the country is right now when I live by the beach. Trust me, I know hot. I grew up and lived in AZ for 31 years and will never forget those dreadful summers! If you are need of some cooling off, grab the kids and blender and whip up my Slushy Blueberry Lime-Aid. It’s icy, cold and sparkly. This one does not disappoint.
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.
Creamy Watermelon Lime Chiller - Kleinworth & Co
Welcome to Project 52- week 29 Wow- hard to believe that we are more than half way through July. I am seeing more & more people pinning Christmas things. I know!!! Part of me wants to start planning & then the other part of me feels overwhelmed because I have all these other months to think about first. If I plan out too many at once- I’m going to burn out I think.

Easy and Effective Tonic for Thyroid Disorders
I know several people that suffer from thyroid disorders, and these greatly affect their health and wellbeing. Thyroid disorders can affect your weight, mood, energy, cholesterol, bowel problems and more. The thyroid gland is one of the largest endocrine glands and is found in the neck. The thyroid gland has a very important role in our body: it controls how quickly the body uses energy, makes proteins, and controls how sensitive the body is to other hormones. Common thyroid disorders are hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid, and hypothyroidism, which is the underproduction of the thyroid hormones.
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.
Original V-8 Recipe
Parsley adds color and aids digestion of the foods we eat and acts to prevent gas and bloating. The organic acids in tomato fruit and juice enhance the digestive function by stimulating salivary and gastric secretions, thereby promoting the digestion of foods rich in starch (such as bread, pasta, rice and potatoes), as well as in protein (such as meat, fish, eggs and milk products). Carrots have a cleansing action on the liver and helps it to release more bile, which will cause peristaltic action. This can help to relieve constipation and help with digestion.
Award-Winning Paleo Recipes
You can essentially turn any leftover meat into a frittata. All you do is dice up the meat, chop up some veggies (frozen veggies are perfect), sauté them in an oven-safe skillet, add some eggs and dairy/coconut milk, and pop it all in the oven until it sets. You can add herbs, sautéed onion, minced garlic, whatever!
