Can we talk about New Girl right now!? If you haven’t watched the latest episode, shame on you, but look away RIGHT NOW!!
OMG Nick and Jess are finally getting together!! The last episode was fantastic. Mostly because Schmidt got stung on his face by a jellyfish while trying to catch a lionfish with a lacrosse stick. BUT the Jess and Nick thing was awesome. He’s so in love with her. I never thought my favorite show could get better, but once they threw love into the mix, I pledge to never EVER miss another episode. How many times have I said episode in this blog so far? Answer: too many times.
New subject.
I went to the dermatologist yesterday. Instantly started crying. Poor derm lady. She had no idea what that appointment was about to bring in. Well it brought a mess of a grown woman, desperate for answers. I even wrote down a list of everything I’ve tried to help fix my skin. I just can’t take it anymore. I can’t look in the mirror anymore, my face constantly hurts, and I cry probably every two days out of frustration. No one should have to live their life like this. Time to take control.
On a lighter note, I’m going to get my nails AND toenails done next week. Yes, yes I am. I seriously haven’t gotten my nails or toenails done since high school. I never saw the point. The polish just came off, looked gross, then made your nails worse. BUT, since I will be doing a cooking presentation next week at PaleoFX, I thought I should try to make myself look more like a lady. I think I might even wear an apron, like one of those skirt aprons. Those things are adorable. And I want to try to fool people into thinking that I’m adorable. Little do they know. Can’t wait to see some of your there. What in the hell else am I going to wear other than an apron!? I just got instantly stressed.
OMG. I have found a new blog I love. And it’s a paleo blog! I usually only fall in love with non paleo blogs because they have way better food porn, but this one is awesome. And naughty. And I love me some naughty paleo food. I actually found her off of instagram while sitting at the dermatologist. The things you can find while bored. And I am so lucky to. Check out Clean Eating with a Dirty Mind. She’s pretty new so she doesn’t have a ton of recipes yet, but every single one she has looks stupid good. I’m kind of in love with her. Go check out her blog and give her some love on instagram @vanessabarajas. You’ll be happy you did.
Oh PS, who here is doing the 21 Day Sugar Detox? I swear, you can do it if I can. Especially if you have these cute little things stored in your fridge. It has a slight sweetness to it and the fat from the coconut oil and coconut butter keeps you full and satisfied. For real, make these.
21DSD Green Apple and Coconut 2-Bite Treats
Ingredients
- 1 green apple, cored and diced
- ½ cup coconut butter
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (or more, if you’d like)
- pinch of salt
- 2 extra tablespoons coconut oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to the pan. Once hot, add diced apples and begin to cook down, making sure they do not burn.
- Once apples are soft, add the cinnamon and a bit of salt.
- Now you need to get the coconut oil and coconut butter soft, so place both in a bowl and into the microwave for about 30 seconds, then mix with a spoon.
- Then add the sautéed apples to the bowl with coconut butter and coconut oil and mix well, adding a bit more cinnamon.
- Now use a spoon to scoop out 1-2 tablespoons of your chunky mixture into a silicone liner in a muffin tin. Repeat until mixture is gone. If you do not have silicone liners, use paper (they may just stick a little).
- Place in fridge for at least 20 minutes before eating. Also store in the fridge because they may want to melt!
- Makes about 9 discs.
- Enjoy the 21 Day Sugar Detox!

I just found a cure for my Reese’s Peanut Buttercup obsession!
i want to start the 21 day sugar detox.
did you cut out honey and fresh fruit?
i really enjoy my fruit smoothie for mid am snack
love the blog
Yes cut out both during the detox
(Found this posting while searching around for Paleo Reese’s Cups as I have been craving them like mad lately. I hope you don’t mind a random internet stranger commenting here about your post.)
I had horrific acne from around the time I turned 21 until I was 32. It seemingly sprang up out of nowhere and sucked. I paid thousands of dollars to a dermatologist for laser treatments and, while they helped get rid of my hyperpigmentation, it didn’t do anything for the acne. Hormonal birth control helped calm things down, but never fixed the issue. Other products did nothing or just made my skin worse.
I switched to a new doctor and found out I had an insanely low-functioning thyroid. Medication for that helped, but didn’t fix things. Reducing processed foods (and especially soy!) helped, but didn’t fix things.
I wound up using benzoyl peroxide at 2.5% strength, and I am now clear as a bell (though there is some scarring from all of the severe acne. I’m honestly lucky I have as little as I do, and using apple cider vinegar as a toner has worked wonders for that.) I would definitely say that if you’ve tried everything else, try the acne.org method. I only use their benzyol peroxide and AHA+, sourcing my moisturizer and facial cleanser elsewhere, but this really has completely transformed my skin. I definitely had some embarrassing and mega-itchy skin peeling, and it took over a month for my skin to adjust, but it was 100% worth it. Best of luck, and I’m looking forward to trying out your recipes! 🙂
I just want to say thank you for introducing me to coconut butter! These are amazing!
I love your blog and all of your recipes…you are hysterical and your posts always make me laugh! Your awesome!
Hi Juli,
You are the omg, “oh my Goddess” ruling monarch of paleolithic formulated treasure from wild mountain and forest floor..
Our household is brimming with aromatic wonder as hearth fire stone kettle cooking yielding your recipes have a distinct luster, texture and sweetness vital to our palate.
Thank you Juli for the beauty you bring to our table.
Regarding your complexion anxiety and the seemingly endless loop of changing many forms of yourself without the desired results, please visit my website as I have a different talent for such aggravation.
Sincerely,
Quill
I made these last night and they are deeeeeeelicious.
I used mini muffin tins/liners so I ended up with about 16 total pieces.
They didn’t even really stick to the paper liners.
I truthfully liked these way more than I thought I would. I really wish I brought some with me to work today.
Thanks for another great treat recipe! (As usual!)
About your skin, I had similar issues before. But the pills the derm gave me killed my stomach. I couldn’t take them with food, and by the time I could eat, I felt too sick to. I use Proactiv now, which works for the blackheads and small pimples, but the big lumpy painful ones did not go away until I started taking oral birth control. I had to try three before I found one that worked for both my acne and other needs (severe cramping, etc.). My skin is pretty much clear now that I’m combining clean eating, Proactiv, and the pill.
Best of luck to you, and keep being awesome!!
Hey Juli, I made these a few weeks ago and they didn’t turn out as I was hoping. They just tasted like coconut oil…I didn’t use Niki’s, I used coconut butter, is that why? I was super bummed cause these look so good, and a bunch of others seem to have come out good. Any tips or thoughts?
Thanks! Also, LOVE your blog 🙂
that could be, not sure though
I cannot thank you enough for this recipe! I’m on day 17 – Level 3 of the 21 DSD and probably would not have made it without these little nuggets.
Thanks again!
These are so good! Juli you rock! Can’t believe these are 21dsd friendly 😀
