So the other night, when Laura, Sergio, and I went to club it up, I had this lotion that I put on because I thought it smelled awesome. Like for reals good. It’s that kind of lotion you put on and instantly feel more attractive because you’re oozing smells of lust. That’s how I would explain it at least. So I squeezed on some of the lotion and instantly asked Sergio to tell me how good I smelled….he said I smelled like a stripper. WINNING. Not really.
Speaking of things that smell….my friend Jake got his stolen car back a couple days ago…I don’t think it smells ok in there. Wanna know why? This is why, please read Jake’s facebook status:
“well…3 weeks later, they found my truck. on top of that they got the guys who did it, along with 5 back packs full of meth, 2 hatchets, 1 sword, a bunch of stolen goods….and gay porn and lube.”
You can imagine what the comments were like to that status. I couldn’t stop laughing. It’s not that funny, it’s actually REALLY scary, but still. It’s kinda funny. He’s getting a new truck. They had to clean needles out of it. That’s even more scary. And not funny. Sorry Jake. I’m a bad friend.
I’ve come to a decision about something. Recently, I tried to back off the coffee and start drinking some tea. I don’t know why. I do dumb sh*t like this. I like caffeine. Like a lot. And I like the taste of coffee. Tea taste like dirty water. Seriously. Don’t write me telling me about tea that tastes good because the only tea that gets me going is tea that is filled with 1/3 cup of honey. So really, sugar water is what gets me going. I’m easy to shop for.

I think we’d be fast friends. You are frickin hilarious!! And i’d make you make us food everyone I came over for COFEE ;)
*everytime
I’ll let you make the food Laura!! Cool? Cool.
I cannot wait to make this – looks delish !
I had a cup of tea at work yesterday because I couldn’t bring myself to have an instant coffee – I believe that “dirty water” is an accurate description.
Thank you Tanya. Thank you.
That’s so crazy- there must be a rash of car theft out in your neck of the woods– my brother had the same thing happen to him a month ago– and found it again.
The enchilada stew looks awesome- I have some salsa verde to go with- bring it on by!!
will be trying this bad boy recipe for sure… FYI made your coffe rub, coca sweet potato pork recipe for super bowl… fantastic, forgot to take a pic :(
darn it!!!
This look fantastic! I am definitely putting it in next week’s rotation.
I also go through phases where I do stupid stuff like give up coffee. I always come back to it. Coffee and I, we’re meant to be together.
i feel the exact same way ashley
Thank you I think the same thing about tea. Just can’t do it! And the car story is the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while, sorry to laugh at your friends bad (good?) misfortune!
It’s cool. He’s used to it.
I feel the same wAy about tea. I tried to convince myself otherwise yesterday but i just couldn’t drink it even with honey. Going to try this recipe today.
Hope you like it Mindy!
I thought the same thing about tea, until I gave up coffee. Now tea is one of my favorite things in the world!! (Buuuut, I still miss coffee sometimes.)
You are such a badass Tiff. Like wicked badass. Proud of you :)
Strippers are attractive people too
You only speak the truth Serge
So first of all, you are completely right about tea. (Although, I realize I’m a freak because I don’t drink coffee either – I become a shaky, twitchy, knee-bouncing spaz that will never sleep again if I have caffeine.) Tea always feels like a giant letdown. It can smell really good – like apple cider – and then you take a sip and you’re pretty sure it was old dishwater. Blech.
On the other hand, this recipe looks fantastic and I’m adding it to my list for next week! I’m thinking about subbing some El Pato for the tomato sauce, because I love the fire! Yum.
I bet that would be delish Stephanie!! Let me know how it turns out!
Ok, I couldn’t wait and made this today. I substituted El Pato for the tomato sauce and it was fantastic! Definitely has a kick – and I loved every bite. I topped it with avocado and a few black olives. I am so looking forward to the leftovers!
Thanks for another great recipe! :)
Glad you liked it Stephanie!
Looks amazing! I love your crockpot recipes. Can’t wait to try this.
Thanks Cassie!!
I love your blog, you crack me up everytime!! Thanks for the awesome recipes, I have loved every one I’ve tried! Just wondering how many this stew serves, want my family to try it too! Thanks!
Thanks so so much Michelle!! I’d say probably 4-5 servings, maybe a little more!
I loveeeeee Tiger Spice Chai. I know you posted earlier it was too sugary wherever you bought it. This is good, I only use half the recommended amount and its good with water. They have sugar-free but then it has splenda- yuck. Then they have a yummy “power chai”. Just look it up.
This looks like heaven, like the pork green chile. If its anything like that- yum. Im making garlic pork today. :)
That sounds freaking delicious Christie! Where do you get that at?
Oh yay!! A spicy mexican dish! I look for recipes like this. Totally going to make this. However, am I stupid or does coconut oil after cooked taste like fish? hmmm…maybe this cold is really getting to me…lol. Oh and tea rules…coffee stinks…actually it smells really good but caffiene stinks!!
Lol never heard that before Amber. Or thought that. What kind of coconut oil do you use?!
BAHAHAH!! Wow. Your poor friend. But that is seriously hilarious! Glad he’s getting a new truck. I’ve always loved tea, but I like my tea the way I like my coffee – strong. Otherwise, it totally tastes like dirty water. I couldn’t do it without any sugar before Whole 30, but now I drink unsweetened tea by the pitcher without a problem. It’s so weird.
When you cut out sugar, you forget about sugar. That’s why i never cut it out. I wouldn’t want to hurt it’s feelings.
Blog Face Test….
Ah daaaaamn. You look good.
If this turns out anything like your green chile pulled pork recipe then my husband is going to be in HEAVEN! Can’t wait to make this! LOVE how simple it is too… (thank you Crock Pot inventors) On a side note… hello?!? Where are the black tank tops?!? I’ve been ‘stalking’ Renegade Fitness this week just waiting for them! :) And yes, it’s horrible about Jake’s misfortune but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s one of the most hilarious things I’ve read in a while (at least since reading your blog update yesterday) :)
Black tanks come in Friday!! And i will announce it right away!!!
Tea sucks but shredded meat is always a winner. That dude’s truck? Wow.
Bahahaha. Don’t u love that story Tom?!
Get some Teeccino! It’s awesome.
I dont know what the means Lisa
haha, it’s a coffee replacement & actually tastes good (to me). http://teeccino.com/
Thanks Lisa!
Slacking on the replies today. What’s up, JB? With you all the way on the coffee. Probably drink way more than I should…it’s just so delicious.
Justin. Bro. As much as I wish this my full time job, it is not. Gotta make that dough
Trueche’! Everyday I’m shufflin’
Oh Justin
Felt like the three bears in my household tonight with this recipe.
My father absolutely hated it and was very vocal about itl- but what can you expect from a bland meat and potatoes eating 85 yr old?!
For me it was a little on the spicy side- but I’m a spicy wimp. When my mouth was chilled out a bit from the burning I very much enjoyed the flavors.
My husband absolutely LOVED this, spice and all and is excited my dad hated it because it means more left overs for him, lol!
Coming to your blog is seriously one of the biggest highlights of my day… and I know what you’re thinking- No, I don’t lead a boring life, I promise :) I just happen to love food, sarcasm, and a daily dose of awesomeness- and your blog is a one-stop shop!
I couldn’t wait to make this, and I just devoured a HUGE helping of it for lunch. My mouth is on fire, but I’m all smiles- This was awesome! Thanks so much for keeping beginner Paleos like me on track with amazing recipes- you rock!
Glad you liked it Sarah!! And thank you so much for you support!!
This is my crockpot NOW… I can barely wait for dinner to come!
OMG – just took the first bite…. AMAZING! Going to try the same mix but with a pork shoulder next!
Glad you liked it Amy!!
Just put this in the crock this AM,house smells AMAZING! Only thing I didn’t have canned jalapenos so I used a fresh one that I had roasted last night for something else. Thanks again for these great recopies!
The fresh sounds even better!!
I’m always looking for new paleo crock pot recipes. We love making paleo enchiladas – making them in the crock pot will be even simpler. Thanks for the recipe!
Oooo that sounds AMAZING!!
This is currently bubbling away in my kitchen. Smells SO good. Can’t wait till dinner.
Hope it tastes good!!
LOVE THIS. My 1 year old even ate it. She likes things a little spicy but the avacado breaks the heat. We added sweet potato chips as “crackers”. Delish!
That’s awesome that a 1 year old will eat it!!! You’ve got a good child right there!
A friend’s friend posted a pic of this on her wall and I’m stoked to have found your page. Crock pot recipes are the best. I can’t wait!
Hope you like it Jason!
This was so easy and turned out really delicious. I made the mistake of cooking it overnight and I kept waking up because it smelled so darn good! Very happy with this recipe and will definitely make it again in the future!
Lol I slightly hate waking up to the smell of meat in the middle of the night. It keeps me awake, in a bad way
Um yeah. I made this the other day and it was to die for!!! Although I couldn’t find a 4oz can of jalapenos so I just used 2 cans of green chilies. Which is OK because I am a wimp when it comes to heat.
I think you should change the name of your blog to PaleOMGoddess! Because you are a goddess for sure! I wish I lived with you. You wouldn’t mind me and my two sons and two dogs would you? :D
Lol LOVE IT Suzy PaleOMGoddess, that’s awesome. I don’t do children or animals, sorry Suzy, our relationship just won’t work out.
Made this last night, and it was amazing! Seriously good! Love your recipes!
Thanks so much Jason :) glad you liked it!
I don’t have any coconut oil and was wondering if I can leave this out, or if you have an idea of something I could substitute? Does it really effect the flavour? Thanks!
Any other kind of fat like olive oil would work!
Great, thanks! I’ll try it with olive oil!
I had my husband put this together in the crockpot and he accidently used fire roasted diced tomatos instead of diced. Yummy! This has become my favorite recipe! Thanks for all the amazing recipes and the laughs!
Glad you liked it Barb!
Hi! Just got turned on to your website as I am trying a Paleo lifestyle. I just made the Enchilada Chicken Stew for myself for dinner – wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Besides my mouth being on fire, this was one of the most delicious easy to make recipes. Thank you and keep those good recipes coming!
Glad you liked it Susan! Thanks for checking out the website and leaving a comment!
loved this recipe! Will be making it again!
Glad you liked it!
Made this earlier in the week and it was delicious! I am seriously glad that I found your blog because you are making my journey into Paleo easier and definitely yummy :)
That’s freaking awesome to hear Becca!!
BTW – super yum, and just as easy for anyone who wants to purchase the less expensive chicken on the bone; you just have to fish the bones out since the meat has fallen off! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
thanks for the tip Veronica!
Delicious!! This is the third time we’ve made this in the month… the whole family likes it! And, Ro-tel makes a tomato sauce that is just a little spicy and yummy. Thanks for sharing!!
The third time? Thats freaking awesome!! Glad you like it!
Bowl of awesomeness for lunch? Yes, please! This is the second time my wife and I have made this recipe… It gets even awesomer if you stir an ENTIRE diced avocado into each bowl.
In summary, this recipe is awesome. I haven’t made anything from your site that doesn’t deserve 5-stars. Thank you.
Thanks so much Andrew!!!
Made this dish last night and it was great! I made a few adjustments by cutting all ingredients in half except for the chicken and made more of an enchilada shredded chicken instead of a stew. Enjoyed it with some cilantro/lime “rice” and a little guacamole. Highly recommend this recipe.
Beautiful! That sounds awesome!
My entire family loved this, even my teens who like nothing. Can’t wait to make this again.
That’s freaking awesome Donna!
I want to like tea….It seems so friggin’ civilized. And so many beautiful choices and accessories.
But I can only drink it with a heaping teaspoon of sugar (I know…) and half & half.
And even then I wish I were drinking a latte.
Lol yeah tea is dumb
Score once again! Put it in the crock pot too late to eat it for dinner but it was like chili and even better the second day! Kids ate it up, I took some to the poor young kid at work that I always see eating ramen noodles (my good deed for the day) and I had enough for a few more days.
I am not really sure why everyone was saying it was spicy though. Maybe because I used fresh jalapenos instead of canned.
Glad you liked it Kendra!
I made this with a few modifications, as most of my family members like mild to medium spicy food. I used fresh jalapenos, seeds and insides removed, used green and yellow peppers, instead of green chilies.
This was so delicious! I am glad a friend shared this with me. Next time she makes it with no modification, I am going to be there eating a bowl full, ads I love the heat.
Winner winner chicken dinner. Another hit Juli!!! Love your work!
Excellent. My girlfriend doesn’t do spicy so I replaced the jalepenos with another small can of mild green chiles. She loved it, and so did I. Eating the leftovers for lunch right now!
Enjoying this right now! Thanks for being an awesome coach – you are gonna do awesome at regionals. I’ll be there sunday a hootin and a hollerin!
This was awesome! Thanks for sharing. (For my non-paleo neighbours, I served it over rice.)
My daughter made this Chicken Enchilada Stew one night this week, and EVERYONE ate it and loved it! I wanted to thank you, AND to tell you I mentioned it and where to find it on my paleo blog. (feedinggersasser.blogspot.com) We had come up with a quick side called SALSA KALE to go with it. You might want to try it! It was so good together. My son, Ger Sasser, is owner of CrossFit Countdown and it’s unbelievable how many healthy calories he needs!
Thank you so much for your website, since meeting you at the Kids Course my wife and I have been happily visiting! Also, a huge congratulations for such an amazing job this past weekend at the SW Regionals, you were amazing!
Thanks for checking out my website Todd!! You guys did a great job with Regionals! I had so so much fun! Maybe I’ll see you at another upcoming Regional!
