Well hello again! It’s almost back to normal here at paleOMG. Did you miss me?! I missed you. I didn’t really know how much my website meant to me until I couldn’t use it anymore, and I was crying on the floor of my room in frustration. Stupid technology. Why does it have to be so weird. And confusing. But work with me, I promise you the website will be back to normal rants and recipes by next week. Because I love you. No I love you more!
So I talked about this on my facebook page a little while back. Have you seen the show ‘Catfish’? I’m obsessed. I’ll give you the run down if you haven’t seen it. So this guy met this girl on the internet, fell in love with her, then when he finally met her, you guessed it, it wasn’t her. So he made a documentary of it THEN mtv was smart enough to pick it up and he started doing the same thing for other people. So he brings two people together who have met on the internet to see if it was all a lie. Most of the episodes I’ve seen prove that people love to lie on the internet. What’s that about? I haven’t lied once on this thing. Well, maybe I didn’t tell you about a chocolate eating session, but that’s none of your business. Now my acne issues, that’s definitely your business.
Anywho, it’s one of those shows that’s like watching a train wreck. You can’t look away. And why would you want to? Watching people meet random people they fell in love with via written words is pretty disgustingly fantastic. Ok, disgusting is the wrong word. I could see why though. I’ve dipped my toe into online dating before. I’ve seen what people put on the internet. And really, all people talk about is their positives. You know, the ‘I make 6 digits a year’, the ‘I’m looking for the girl next door because I’m a romantic at heart’, the ‘I’m a very driven person who is looking for an independent woman.’ They never put on there ‘I’m a drunk that tends to only sleep with women while intoxicated. Oh, and I have commitment issues.’ That just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Online dating is weird. I gave it up. I don’t like using up my time with someone I know nothing about. I like friends more. Why would I go on an awkward date with someone while I could be watching a Twilight movie, drinking wine, and making paleo cookies? Ugh, I’m dumb. I wish I would have never typed that sentence. But the delete button is too far away.
I ate duck last night. Duck is bloody amazing. I wish I could eat duck every other day. Every day would just be too much. Oh and I’m eating beef sticks for breakfast. This week is weird.
Simple Ginger Carrot Soup
- Yield: 3-4 1x
Ingredients
- 2–3 cups chopped carrots (I used baby carrots)
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 (14oz) can of coconut milk
- 1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced (the more, the better)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Place a saucepan over medium heat, add in your coconut oil, garlic and onion. Cook up onions are translucent.
- Then add in your carrots with broth and coconut milk along with ginger and a bit of salt and pepper.
- Cook until carrots are soft, about 12-15 minutes.
- Once carrots are soft, use an immersion blender to mix until soup is smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, add it to your food processor, like I did.
- Top with more fresh ginger and enjoy. I added some shredded chicken to mine and it was AWESOME.
I think I may eat this with Curried Chicken and toasted Squash seeds. . . . Nope, actually I WILL do just that. And now my Friday evening is booked. That is all
Welcome Back!!
I have to ask – who makes your favorite beef sticks? I love them too…always interested in trying other good ones. 🙂
steve’s original paleo kits!
So, this is weird but about a month ago I dreamt that recipe, except it had chicken stock instead of veggie (veggie is probably better) and I made it in the pressure cooker. It was the first time I ever dreamt a recipe and it was awesome! The first thing I mumbled to my husband upon waking was “I dreamt I made carrot ginger soup and it tasted so good.” He thought that sounded disgusting. I’ve been meaning to make it ever since, but didn’t feel up to making it just for myself. But then, whaddya know, good ol’ JB has literally made my dream come true! It was sooo exciting to see my dream recipe on your website, because it means it would be delicious and I can’t wait to make it! It’s also sort of creepy, because it makes me wonder if you’re a dream stalker; like some hilarious, Cross Fitting Freddy Krueger. I’ll assume this time was a fluke, but if I dream another recipe that ends up here I’m gonna get suspicous. 🙂
bahahaha that is hilarious! I dream about food all the time
Yay! You’re back – which means my life is back to normal and I can resume my Paleomg stalking early in the morning. I know this post was from yesterday, but Im a bit slow on the uptake – clearly.
Anywho – on another note – dont nag too much on the online dating world. I met my boyfriend of 3 years on the “eharm” website and hes amazing. I will warn you though, if you tried “match….” thats just a silly clown festival. If you want to date LOTS of clowns, do that one. Eharm is more serious.
Hope that helps! Glad youre back to cooking and ranting. My life is complete.
I always wonder what to have with my soup. I was so used to having a gluteny thing–toast, bread, etc, and that’s the sort of thing I still want. I know I can make paleo muffins, but it ups the effort so much. Any suggestions?
meat!
Hooray! You’re back! I missed you so much, I made your carrot cake pudding so I could eat my feelings of loss without adding any guilt. And now I have no carrots to make this tasty soup….
I love your soup bowls. You used them once before and I didn’t comment so I’m glad you brought them back. They are really cute.
you’re the best! because my plates and bowls are limited in my household
Finally! Something I have all the ingredients for already in my kitchen 🙂 No shopping required
I am about ten minutes into Catfish and I am LOVING it. A similar thing happened to a friend of mine about 6 years ago…the guy she was talking to ended up being a chick! Crazy stuff!
I’m detoxing!

I love that little covered crock/bowl your soup is pictured in…where’d ya get it?
