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.

Looking forward to meeting my favorite paleo blogger at PaleoFx this week! I totally have a girl crush on you! And I’m old enough to be your mother. Can I adopt you?
A-freakin’-MEN!!! It’s always baffled me what useless crap they force us to learn growing up but the stuff that ACTUALLY matters…eh! And I swear, every year I wait until the absolute last minute to do my taxes! :-/
Yay for PaleoFX! I can’t wait!
Oh my goodness! Found your blog a few weeks back and I Absolutely LOVE it and appreciate all the time and effort you put into it! It made my foray into the crossfit/paleo world soooo much easier!!! Seriously… I’m pretty much handicapped in the kitchen.
Random question for you though? What are some of your favorite restaurants and places to go in Denver. I get to take a business trip up there this week and my boss set it up so I get to spend the weekend having fun too! <3 it! lol. Thanks again Juli!
PS: You're awesome!
I so agree with you on the taxes thing. Like, instead of teaching us trigonometry in high school math, it would have been much more useful to learn how to do our taxes, balance a budget, etc. Real world skills!
That is what I teach!! I teach basic things such as taxes that kids need to know but no one will ever teach them! We also do insurance,banking, credit, renting, etc
Macs SOO need power cord space in their little pouches! I hate having to stuff the stupid thing in there when I travel and letting it get all bendy and ruined. I’ve determined that since their computers last so long they have to make their money somehow. and its on their power cords.
Can’t wait to use up some of my paleo krunch on this!
These were great for bringing along to Easter brunch. Only thing I would change is more nut butter and less honey! Also, if I could, I would change the calorie value per treat since I ended up eating about 800 cals worth. whoops.
I completely agree with the tax thing. We learn about “economics” and american government and all that so why not taxes?!?!? As a 22 year old, I feel you here. Sooo frustrated with what electives we are required to take in college.
which raw honey brand do you prefer? oh and coconut butter? my food processor is a little bitch and wouldn’t turn it to butter lol LOVE your site
HECK YES, this is my kind of recipe! Super easy and with those ingredients, there’s no way it’s anything less than amazing. Can’t wait to make these!
