I don’t want to act like I hated these…because I didn’t. I f*cking loved them. I ended staying strict on my 21 Day Sugar Detox to eat a couple of these. I love them. Did I say I love them? Because I figured something out. I need my sugar sometimes. It’s just what I need. If I want to keep my friendship and my relationship, I need chocolate sometimes. I’m sorry, I just do. As Sergio explained it, I’ve given up grains, then dairy, then nuts, and did a whole 21 day sugar detox to help cut out fruit, so why would I cut out one of the few things that make me happy. Which is true. Dark chocolate makes me happy. And I like being happy.
Disclaimer: I still think that everyone should do an entire 21DSD. Why? Because it’s awesome. And broke my crazy chocolate covered walnut and sunbutter and banana addiction. Do it, DO IT.
I would like to voice my opinion real quick. Ok, why the f*ck don’t we have classes that teach us how to do our taxes. How are we suppose to know? Maybe I’m just a complete tard and just starting to understand the real world since I’m 24, but my gosh, I don’t understand how we are just suppose to know this sh*t. Does it just come with time? Does it just come with hearing things from your friends? Or your parents? Or the government when they come after you? I don’t really know. I’m slowly figuring out, but not really loving the ride. It’s confusing. And stressful. And being a small business owner kind of sucks in some ways. So my opinion, and recommendation, is that schools start teaching basic tax classes. You teach us math, how to spell correctly (which has been erased with the use of spell check) and even teach us how to have a good interview…but you don’t teach us how to utilize our money correctly so the government doesn’t come after us and ruin our lives? I don’t get it. But I for one am frustrated with my college education.
Anyone else frustrated with the fact that mac computer cases don’t include a power cord pouch? I sure am.
Ok, back to positivity. I bought TWO new aprons yesterday. Both for Paleo Fx this week in Austin!! I’ll be doing a cooking demo and am lucky enough to hang out with people such as Michelle from NomNom Paleo, Diane from Balanced Bites, Melissa from The Clothes Make the Girl, Sarah Fragoso from Everyday Paleo, Robb Wolf, Hayley and Bill from Primal Palate, Stacy from Paleo Parents and a ton more other amazing people. It’s going to be intense paleo out there. Intimidating? Kind of. But I’ll still be stuffing my face either way.

Turbo tax! It’s the best way to go!
If it makes you feel better, I’m a tax auditor with a state agency and I had to take classes for FOUR MONTHS to learn how people are supposed to file taxes correctly. This was in addition to an income tax class I took as part of my Master’s degree – in Accounting. For the record, I still think it’s confusing. My motto is “know when to NOT do it yourself.” Also, if you’re really stuck, the IRS and your state will have taxpayer assistance help and you can call with quesitons, for free. Good luck, and keep up the awesome recipes.
I can’t seem to find sunbutter without added sugar and/or oils. Any brand name suggestions? Thanks!
I use maranatha sun butter
Just found your blog a few weeks ago! First time commenting…
I have to agree with you about taxes. I am 24, in graduate school and can do most things on my own…expect for taxes. My dad still has to help me fill out all of the forms. Seems like there should be an easier way!
Delicious-looking recipe! I may have to experiment with some dried cranberries too.
What is Paleo Fx?
Do you need a roomie for paleofx? Is that creepy? Lol. I’m planning to go but was trying to get work to pay so I didn’t book anything yet. And all the good hotels are booked! Looks like I’m staying at hojo!
I have been trying your recipes for a couple of weeks now and yep, they are freaking amazing. I’m two weeks into paleo eating and I’m dying for a piece of toast with almond butter. Please tell me these cravings go away or get less annoying!
PS. I manage a law firm in DTC with an awesome tax attorney who is a CPA. Feel free to e-mail me if you want his info. Taxes are such a pain in the ass. Seriously. Get’s even crazier with kids and childcare deductions…bleck.
try making the little coconut “tortillas” that juli made with the shredded pork a couple of weeks ago and top with some almond butter
taxes shmaxes…instead i think you should spend your time changing the “about me” section of your blog that says “..ramblings of my single life…” 😉
I only lasted a few days on the sugar detox. :(. Oh well. But I’ve been eating pretty well. I just made your meat sauce and turkey artichoke meatballs and they were delicious! I’m new to trying to eat mostly paleo and your blog makes it so much easier. Oh and I failed the detox because I had a glass of wine.. Or two. 🙂
How do you feel about tahini as another nutbutter substitute?
you could use that!
