I’m such a cheater. Or a copy cat. However you’d like to view me. I kinda made this recipe based off my No-Bake Sticky Apple Bars. But those bars were delicious so why not try them with a different kind of fruit. THANK GOD I DID. These were delicious. Laura didn’t seem to love them as much as I did, but Sergio looked like he had just won the lottery when he tasted one…and then went on to eat half the batch.
I went out on the town this weekend. It was Sergio’s birthday AND we had to celebrate Regionals being over with, so we needed to go hard. That meant I drank alcoholic beverages. And many of them. I felt like it was time. I don’t really even remember the last time I drank. Pretty much because I don’t really like alcohol. It tastes like nail polish remover. But I was able to go out with some wicked cool CrossFitters who I never see outside of there workout persona…and workout clothes, so that was a blast. I have really good looking friends. NBD. AND I got to get my flirt on. WINNING.
We went to a bar that was all about dancing. So you can imagine the smile I had on my face. Especially since they were playing Beyonce when I walked in. My God I love Beyonce. AND THEN I got to dance with this man, who doesn’t seem like women are his main squeeze, and the dancing was pretty wicked awesome. He was amazing. I flailed around like an idiot (intoxication makes you feel like a better dancer. fact.) and did whatever he told me to do. He literally would tell me what dance move I should do next. It was awesome. My tiny inebriated brain didn’t even have to think while I was dancing. Wicked.
I don’t really like alcohol. Even though I didn’t have a hangover, I felt like everything was moving in slow motion yesterday. How do some of you people out there drink every weekend? It’s exhausting. I’d much rather sit in on a Friday or Saturday night and make paleo desserts, like this one.
BTW, I finally got instagram. I’m not sure what I’m doing and my pictures suck ass, BUT I LOVE IT. I’m trying to be the best instagramer I can be! Wanna follow me?! Please please do! I take lots of pictures of food that looks like dog food. Super delish. Find me @paleomg! Kthanksbye.

thought i’d just say, you are AMAZING, your recipes are fantastic and inspiring and your attitude is so cool. i take myself far too seriously most of the time, and you seem to just be able to laugh at yourself and especially doing the stuff you do (eat weird shit, go on about crossfit… come on, in real life we all get shit for going on about crossfit too much 😉 you just take it all in your stride. and that is SKILL. cheers! x
Holy hell these look amazing, definitely next on my to-make list!
If I don’t have coconut cream what can I use as a substitute?
coconut butter! i have a recipe for coconut butter on my website!
You = he-freakin-larious! I love reading your blog just for your writing style. And the food porn. That should go without saying though.
When I saw the picture of this post i literally said OMG! out loud. Now I see the source of the name of your site!? I still have some of your sticky apple bars in my freezer that I am trying to wean myself off – but OMG – I am sooo making these Berry Bars! Woo hoo. The colour is beautiful.
Hey Juli! Found this blog recently through a friend who does crossfit in Denver as I was trying to find recipes to fit my own personal conundrum. I’m hoping for a bit of direction. I work about 80 hrs per week, and so time is limited. I recently had a major hip injury and will be unable to exercise much for the next few months, so I’m trying to really alter my diet to make up for the burnt calories I’ll be losing. Do you have any suggestions for blogs which focus on similar recipes to yours, but with either less than prep times or a lot of ingredients that can be prepped at once and made into dishes quickly? Or maybe I’m asking for a new section to yours? Thanks!
I would recommend crock pot meals Jason! I have a section for that but also check out paleopot.com
Absolutely LOVE the Apple bars so I cannot wait to try these!!!! Since nuts are stupid expensive I usually like to buy them in bulk. Do you have a certain online supplier that you would recommend?
Thank you!
Lauren: nutsonline.com is awesome.
Shit, I meant Laurie. Sorry!
I was reading your blog and thinking about making these today, but I decided that I should try to cook something on your website that is not a dessert, for a change. Last week I ate sweet potato brownies for breakfast almost every day and convinced myself they were healthy because sweet potato is kind of like a vegetable. Delicious, but not ideal for a post workout meal six days a week. Anyway, point being, I almost peed my pants in the law school library reading about your drunk dancing with your tiny inebriated brain. Not sure why that’s so funny, but people are staring me because I can’t hold it together. Thank you for making studying less miserable.
Omg Julie you are so funny! I literally laughed so hard I had to wipe the tears off while reading this post! Oh, and btw those bars look amazing! Going to try them soon!
