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 totally just impulse-bought your book. It was the promise of risotto and whatever you were crusting in pepper. I cannot WAIT!
And yeah, if there’s a wedding, there should be cake. No question.
I once went to a wedding with no alcohol and no cake. They had ice cream. The ice cream was good, key lime pie flavored, but not what I was expecting in liu of cake. So there I was, eating a cup of it when they announced, “And instead of cake, the bride and groom have ice cream! Lets join them in the ceremonial ‘cutting’!” I felt like such an a-hole.
Can you freeze? Pull out to thaw night before and reheat? I think it would work, just wondering your thoughts thanks for sharing
i’m sure that would work, haven’t tried though
This looks delicious Juli! Great easy breakfast to make 🙂

Made these for brunch last weekend. So easy and really tasty. Before I poured the egg in the muffin tins, I lined each tin with a slice of bacon. You definitely don’t need any grease if you go this route!!
would love to know the calorie and sodium contents in these recipes. Is there a place to see that?
No clue
Where are you finding your chicken sausage without added sugar and other non-healthy items added? Do you have a certain brand? Thanks in advance!!
