I can’t believe it’s already Thursday. This week is seriously flying by. I think because I’m getting anxious about the book tour coming up. Just about everything I need to get done before I leave. I think I’m gone for 8 days, not completely sure, but pretty sure. Flights are still being booked and different interviews and appearances are coming together. It’s weird saying appearances, but by that I mean book signings, doing some cooking classes, as well as doing some cooking shows for online and tv. I don’t really know what’s going on, but I’m going with the punches and packing as many outfits as possible.
Speaking of outfits, I got to wear a fun outfit this past weekend at yet another wedding. This time it was in Colorado, just up in the mountains near Winter Park. It was absolutely gorgeous and the ceremony was beautiful, but I was pretty bummed about something. They didn’t serve cake. Nope. Pie. They served pie. They did cut their own pie to the song ‘She’s my Cherry Pie’ which was cute, but I was really REALLY hoping for some wedding cake. Or cupcakes. Or cake pops. Any of those would have done. But nope, it was pie. I felt robbed. So I ate a couple of my Soft & Chewy Double Chocolate Cookies that I made for my pregnant girlfriend and all was forgiven.
What was fun about the wedding was we were at a retreat that have individual cabins. So we stayed with two of our friends that just got a brand new 7 week old lab so Jackson and her could play. She was SO tiny, like 8 pounds tiny, and she pushed 20 pound Jackson around like he was her size. It was awesome. It was just constant growling and Jackson randomly humping at times. That teenager.
The night of the wedding, my girlfriend and I went to bed early after the puppies tired out, and I was woken up at 2 in the morning with Jackson barking to go outside. So I headed out, slammed the door behind me so the other dogs wouldn’t get out and then remembered that the door locked automatically. I didn’t have a key. Or even pants. I was in my pajamas, in the woods with a small dog on my lap to keep me warm. The problem was, my girlfriend had left to pick up the guys who had been out at other cabins that night. I wasn’t that worried and then I started looking around and listening to the random sounds that began to ring through the pitch black, and I started to freak out. I knew I would be totally fine, but I started to create these scenarios in my head of a mountain lion hearing Jackson and coming to eat him. And then I started shivering. Thankfully I had my phone to keep me busy while I texted incessantly and facebooked erratically to keep my mind off the sounds. And having to pee. So fun.
PS- A mountain lion never ate Jackson.
PPS- I suck with the outdoors.

I’ve never had pie at a wedding before. How interesting! I would’ve preferred cake too!
These sausage egg cups looks so good! I love chicken sausages for breakfast!
YUM! Do they keep in the fridge/reheat well?
yep!
Hi Juli,
How long do they keep in the fridge do you think? Sunday is Paleo cooking day. Will they last until Friday?
Did you figure out an answer to your question? I would like to know too…
sorry i seemed to miss that question. mine last around 5 days or so!
Your shoes… I need them. Like… yesterday.
Hi Juli!
I just wanted to say how much i love your recipes and your blogs. Im home for school for the summer and have been put in charge of food while im here. My dad is a very picky eater and usually eats Kraft peanut butter and toast for breakfast. I made him egg cups, and now he has a new favorite breakfast.
Thanks for all the awesome ideas! my family and i love them.
Hey there, Juli. Been a long while since I checked in but wanted you to know that your Pizza Spaghetti Pie is on the menu for my fiancee’s birthday dinner tonight. We have made a couple of very small tweaks (and actually refer to it as Spaghetti Pizza Pie or SPP for short), but it is a staple on our menus. Love it. Thanks for all you do.
Hi. I have a whole bunch of unrelated comments. First, the wedding pie- my mom is getting married in July and is having cupcakes. Your comment of cake pops sounds really good. I may need to make some for her. Next, congrats with your book and the excitement with the tour. I have tried so many recipes and have not found one yet I don’t love. Enjoy the success. Lastly, I was just on the chocolate mousse recipe page and I love the post about buying jeans. I struggle so much also with this purchase, I almost would rather go for a root canal. If I could just once find something that fits. Which leads me to your difficulty with your body shape. I don’t think there is any girl who doesn’t struggle with this. I tell myself to be happy with me but it never seems to completely work. Don’t know what the answer is but girl, your not alone.
Hey Juli! Where is that red dress from?! I have a wedding to go to soon as well and I really love that one! You looked gorg!
pink’s boutique in bonnie brae of denver (it’s actually orange though, just in case that’s not what you were looking for)
Gah, I love that dress too!! Super cute! And the recipe looks great too 😉
Love egg cupcakes! Thanks for another great one. Sounds like a fun wedding weekend minus the whole getting locked out part. Your book tour will be so exciting! might make it to the New York date.
Shockingly, I can’t find my muffin tins. Can I make this is a baking pan and just adjust the time to cook? What is your suggestion?
surely, but i’m not sure how long because it would depend what size baking pan you used
Just popped these in the oven. I added chives and mushrooms to mine. Can’t wait to see how they turn out!
