Yes, pumpkin granola is very important to me. That’s why I gave it away. Gave it a better home.
This is a random blog post isn’t it? Why yes, yes it is, but I’ve been cooking up a storm for my cookbook and those recipes are SECRETS so no Friday recipe for you. Hate me, do it. No please don’t. I like you. And I’m working real hard for you so hopefully you love the cookbook and the secret recipes when it comes out. Anywho, this blog post is about big upcoming stuff and cool sh*t around the CrossFit/paleo community. Ready? Ok!!! (cheerleader style!) I was never a cheerleader. F*ck skirts.
- So speaking of my cookbook, I’ve had some questions of when it will be coming out. April. April it is. April is my birthday, therefore it is the best month of the year. And now it’s even better since my book will be coming out. OMG I’M SO EXCITED!! I could just poo myself. Sorry I just said that.
- A wicked awesome event is coming to the Colorado area on Saturday September 29th from 9:30am-5pm. It’s called the Practical Guide to Paleo. You know why it’s wicked awesome?? Because 3 amazing women paleo bloggers will be at the event to inspire you to begin eating paleo and share their expertise on how they do it. Wanna know who those bloggers are!? Well I’m sure you already know them! Melissa Joulwan from The Clothes Make the Girl and also author of the Well Fed Cookbook, paleo blogger and paleo app rockstar Michelle Tam from NomNomPaleo, and Holly Woodcock from Holly Would if she Could. I will also be there to support these ladies and meet some of the cool people in the paleo community. If you would like to register, DO IT NOW!! Click that link dummy.
- Guess what I’m doing next week?! Teaching a cooking class! Pretty pumped. I like cooking. I like being awkward in front of large crowds. And I dislike not being able to lick my fingers in front of the class. That will probably still happen, but whatevs. I’ll be teaching MBS CrossFitters how to cook and how to eat at Back to Basics Kitchen. How fun is that? I should make that a career. And tie in my photography skills into the teaching. We all know you guys like my photography…that was a joke.
- If you live in Denver, or just want to come out for a lil fun in the sun vaca, there is an awesome event coming up on October 26th from 1pm-4pm at CrossFit South Denver. My friend and owner of CFSD, Clark, will be running a Bears for Kids Charity Competition. All proceeds go directly to the charity for Denver Children’s Home which restores health to traumatized children and their families. And for every $10 raised in donations, Clark and I will be doing burpees against each other to see who wins. Sign up ASAP and donate for a good cause. Please and thank you!
- And to top it all off, PaleOMG tanks are back in stock!!!! YAY!!! If you want to wear a super comfy tank that’s just pretty much the best shirt you’ve ever worn, then this shirt is totally for you! For reals. These shirts are pretty much all I wear. If you are friends with me on FB, then I most likely don’t know who you are since I know no one on my News Feed, and you’ve seen that’s ALL I WEAR. Ever. I need to go shopping. AND SO DO YOU!! Check out the tanks in stock and we just ordered new black headbands. Yay hooray!
That’s all I got. Are you annoyed with me babbling on? Did you skip that entire thing to read this last paragraph? That’s what I would have done. That’s probably why I did poorly on tests growing up. No, that’s exactly why I did poorly on tests. I’m just kidding, I’m a genius.

















Can’t wait for the cookbook to come out!
And on a side note, I am NOT happy you are using crappy American Apparel tees. I work for Alternative and they are WAY better. Just sayin… I could be biased.

2. Super jealous. So completely totally jealous you get to be there.
Just got my new tank and I am happy!
Personally I think you should make an appearence in Dallas TX and do a cooking class, after your book comes out so I can get you to sign it!.
I agree with Veronica! Dallas is totally the place to be!!
Hey! Are you based out of the Denver area? I have a bunch of business trips out there the next few weeks and would love a gym recommendation!
I wish you had the tanks in wicking material! That cotton sticks to my underboob sweat.
I am going to take this opportunity to tell you something you already hear all the time but since there are not a million comments on your wall (yet) it is happening- you are AWESOME. I love your posts, LOVE your recipes and you inspire me to someday hit RX weight on a consistent basis.
cant wait for the book to come out! I love all your recipes!
I’m excited for the cookbook! But I hate secrets. If I know if someone has a secret, I am the nosey nelly who probes others for information so I can find out said secret. However, I have no way of knowing your secrets so I will have to wait just like everyone else. I also hate waiting.
I also kinda sorta might have a girl crush on you. I hope that doesn’t creep you out. I don’t wanna be creepy. But you are just so cool and I love your style of writing. Soooo…I’m at about a level 1. This video explains it ALL

Tank tops are in. Great. Get the headbands back in stock!!! Please?
I’m so happy you mentioned the event in Estes Park! I hadn’t heard of it, but I live so close! I am definitely going to go! I’m going to be so starstruck… not one, not, two, not three, but FOUR awesome bloggesses all in the same place?! Watch out YMCA. Watch out.
You should do another post on what you eat throughout the day! For some odd reason I’m always fascinated and curious by what people are eating.
you got it!
Now that you’re a giveaway pro, I hope you’re planning a cookbook giveaway, too. If not, I guess I’ll buy it anyway…
Are you kidding me with the Estes Park event..in October??? Man, I need to fall into a pit of money pronto.
Mountains, fall colors, the coolest chicks on the planet….my Florida-arse has a sad.
So I will be in CO and Estes Park…. The following weekend! Booooooooo. Why does this always happen? On a side note, I only recently started following you and I cannot wait to try some of your recipes. It is too bloody hot in my house to cook right now but once it starts cooling down it’s on.
How do the tanks fit? Do they shrink? I’m super excited to have it stick to my underboob sweat during my WOD!! I usually wear a medium. Thanks!!! Love your food!!
Tanks fit great! They are preshunk so they really don’t shrink much at all!! I usually hang mine to dry but my roommate doesn’t!
Wow! sounds like some awesome events in Denver!! SO jealous. I wished I lived there… O wait I’m moving to Greeley in January!! I hope I can go to an event then and meet you. You are awesome!!
Cooomeeeeoooon! I have already told casey that I wanted you cookbook for christmas and now I have to wait forever.. still happy and exited about it though! let it be april already!
Thanks so much for supporting our event Juli! Can’t wait to see ya!
Also can’t wait to get my mitts on this cookbook of yours. SO EXCITED! YAYAYAYAYAYAY!
Can you add a section/highlight recipes that can be frozen and reheated in your new cookbook? I love cooking your stuff but sometimes life gets hectic and need a quick dinner solution. Last night I resorted to easy mac and I’ve been sick all day. Blarg.
I’m really happy that you are coming out with a cookbook. Cannot WAIT to buy it. I recommend PaleOMG all the time to the new paleo-ers at my box, and I’ve actually gotten a lot of my non-Paleo friends cooking off your website! Your recipes are good by any objective standard, not just good-for-Paleo. Thanks for the resource, the support and the humor. You’re cute as a bug, and you make good food!
i cannot waittttttt for your cookbook!!
yay black headbands! i bought one and will be wearing it at my crossfit competition in a couple of weeks. will send you a pic!
I’ve been stalking renegade fitness for a black headband. lol
Dang it black headband already sold out….
You crack me up! I love your blogs and can’t wait for the cookbook. I’m also in Colorado, up in the mountains. Just started this phenom called CrossFit and Paleo in August, loving it!
When the Army inevitably sends us to Colorado, I will have to join the offical JB stalker club and come out to all of your fun Paleo events, in the meantime good luck! Can’t wait for the cookbook.
So wait are you giving away some Granola to readers :)????
This pumpkin granola is the bomb!! Love it and so do my kids. Will make this again and again. Thanks Juli because I have so been missing cereal!
This was delicious! I had it over a baked sweet potato.
**Ready? Ok!!! (cheerleader style!)**
This happens all the time in my head. All. The. Time.
I was not a cheerleader, either, but I did some mini-camp dealio in 6th/7th grade where we learned a few cheers & performed them at halftime at a football game. I’m pretty sure I remember all of them – and the moves. That’s important stuff, really super glad it’s taking up space in my brain but I can’t remember my license plate number.
Yummy granola! Too much cinnamon though for me. I’d bump up the other spices a bit and cut the cinnamon by half. Love the versatility of the recipe. I added: hemp hearts, chia, walnuts, dried cranberries, sesame seeds…yummy!
When do we get to buy colored PaleOMG tank tops???? I need one. ASAP.
