So we settled on a couch. It’s not the exact look we wanted in a couch, but when we sat on it, we pretty much drowned in it. In a good way. Did you ever see that show on PBS, The Big Comfy Couch? I only had 4 channels growing up, so I watched A LOT of that show. Probably until I was 17. Ok, 18. Along with Arthur. That show was the best. You know what I’m talking about. Anyways, the couch on that show is what it reminded me of when I sat down. Kind of. Minus the weird clown girl. I wonder what she’s doing with her life nowadays.
So I took some of your advice and I started watching House of Cards. And as soon as I started watching it, I noticed that a ton of the bloggers I follow on instagram are obsessed with it. So it got me excited. I’ve watched probably 7-8 episodes by now, fallen asleep in a couple, but I’m still not quite sure if I’m into it. I think it’s because politics confuse me. Mostly because I don’t give an eff about politics. But I’m trying to keep up and stick with it. I’m hoping it gets more suspenseful. I like suspense.
Anyone watch the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon? Wonderful. Love it.
Anywho. I’ve started to settle in pretty well to this new apartment. It’s slowly but surely getting decorated and feeling more like a home. I just love it. But it’s just missing one thing: a French bulldog. I’ve wanted one for a while now, but had to wait for the right time. And I think you should sit on big decisions for a while. Like one of my tattoos. Should have sat on that thought for longer. Back to the point, we are looking for a little frenchie in Colorado to welcome into our home. Problem is, people tend to charge over $3,000 for French bulldogs here. And well, that’s ridiculous. I’m totally down to spend some money, but I’m not looking for a $6,000 show dog. Nope. Just a frenchie I can love, hang out at home with, talk to while I’m cooking, walk in my new neighborhood with, and make paleo dog treats for. I will love him, and kiss him, and hold him. But I first need to find a breeder in Colorado who charges less than $3,000. Oh the frustration.
Beef and Broccoli Cashew Stir Fry
- Yield: 3-4 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut aminos (do not use liquid aminos, it will make it incredibly salty)
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 3 crowns of broccoli, cut into florets
- salt and pepper, to taste
- couple tablespoons of coconut oil
- 1/2 cup toasted cashews
Instructions
- Whisk together coconut amines, orange juice, honey, fish sauce, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, arrowroot powder, and a bit of salt and pepper.
- Place sliced flank steak in a shallow bowl and pour whisked mixture on top of the meat to cover. Place in fridge and let refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- After meat has refrigerated, place a large pan or dutch oven over medium heat. Add about a tablespoon of coconut oil to the pan when hot, then add broccoli florets. Sprinkle with a little salt and mix around in the pan to help crisp up. To make sure my broccoli gets soft, I use a teaspoon of water, add it to the pan and then cover to help steam the broccoli for just 1 minute.
- Once broccoli is cooked through to preference, remove from pan and set aside.
- Place pan back over high heat, add a little more coconut oil then add the meat and sauce directly to the hot pan, trying not to overcrowd the bottom of the pan. Cook meat until barely any pink remains, then add broccoli back to the pan, along with toasted cashews.
- Mix together and cook for 1 more minute. Serve!

I loved this recipe. Thankyou just made this for lunches this week and added extra veg. No matter how hard I try I always go off on a tangent when it comes to recipes. I can never stick to the set ingredients list. 🙂
“I don’t want a show dog, I just want a pet.”

Please, do your research on your breed, get in contact with your chosen breed club in your area, ask questions, find a reputable breeder, and realize that quality shouldn’t be found only in “show dogs”, and there is a reason reputable breeders ask the amount they do for pups out of their litters, and I guarantee you, it’s not to turn a profit. Buying a pet because “the price is right” is never a good policy, and in the end, you could go to the shelter and pick out an equally good pet for much less.
If you are willing to give a little bit older dog a chance, check in to breed rescues. The great thing about older dogs is you know exactly what you are getting because their temperaments are set and usually they have already been taught basic manners since breed rescues typically foster dogs in a home with a family. Their age won’t change their capacity to love you.
And when you get your new family member, jump in to a pet manners class! A class can help you and your dog understand each other better, and will build a great life long partnership!
Ooooh, Juli! I finally got to make this last night and ohmygoodness, why didn’t I make it sooner!? Loved it! Hubby and 9 year old daughter liked it too!
I allowed myself some GF white rice to go along with it because…yesterday… I RX’d Fran for the second time and I shaved 4:05 off of my time from August! Yep, darn proud of that right there!! Too bad we didn’t have any Angry Orchard’s in the fridge!
Oh my paleo! This is delicious! Thank you for posting this quick and delicious meal! I made a few changes- adding red peppers, omitting fish sauce(didn’t have any) and subbing in tapioca starch for arrowroot. I also used flatiron cut due to price. I will definitely make this again!
Just made this recipe and it is the bomb diggity!!!
I made this for Sunday dinner. It was awesome. My husband who wants nothing to do with Paleo loved it… I’ll convert one recipe at a time.
My room mate is allergic to orange, could you recommend an alternative? Thanks!
you could use a different kind of fruit juice!! maybe pineapple

adorable.. they have puppies.. Id love one!
You should get a dog from wherever you want. Regardless of where they come from all dogs need a good home.
To ask the actual question: do you add the sauce with the meat or is the sauce just used to marinate the meat?
yep you add the sauce too!!
Delicious! You are a genius 🙂
