This recipe is totally like this old recipe. But it’s kind of different. Isn’t that what all recipes are though? Something to ponder on your Tuesday. You’re welcome.

You guys. Technology is so freaking hard. Why does it make absolute no sense? Like, absolutely none. Yesterday, my day was filled with technology frustrations. Let me explain to you how my day went. So I woke up at 5am after a terrible night sleep (I never sleep well when I know I have to wake up early), I half assed did my make up and headed to the gym to coach. Once I finished coaching at 10am, I went home and tried to entertain my dog for an hour. After sucking at that because I was continually checking my email to hopefully see the answers to my never ending tech questions, I headed to the grocery store to get some hot sauce for this recipe, then I made the recipe. Boom, boom. After making the recipe and leaving a sh*t storm in my kitchen, I gave the dog a carrot to keep him entertained while I figured out my newsletter service. Ya see, I just switched over to a new mailing service and it’s only about half done. There are things that need to be finished on it that I have no idea how to do. So I write an email asking a milli questions then I sit and wait, freaking out more and more as time goes by. Then I put together this email template that probably took me 3 hours, just to find out that I was doing it all wrong. I am ABSOLUTELY 100% going to have to get botox after this ihatetechnology day. Yep. The crease between my eyebrows keeps getting deeper with each website issue.

Then I noticed that Jackson (my puppy) thought it would be fun to just shred the carrot with his teeth instead of swallow it. So to distract myself from the meaningless template and ever deepening wrinkles, I picked up his many, many carrot scraps on the floor. He didn’t even fight me for them. Just looked at me with “you’re an idiot” eyes. Bastard.

Ok, I’m done venting. Wait no. Jackson farted. It’s horrendous.

Ok, I’m now officially done venting.

So now that I’m 26 years old, I have to get my own health insurance. I know, I know. Grow up, Juli. But for real. Because of Obama’s health rules, whatever those may be, I’ve been able to be on my parent’s health insurance until I turned 26. Well, I turned 26 a week ago and I still haven’t gotten my own health insurance. I know, I know. Grow up, Juli. I need to be a responsible adult. But I just don’t know where to start. It’s kind of like taxes. We’re expected to know everything about them even though we are taught nothing about them in college. There are just so many services out there and I’d rather not pay a bazillion dollars per month because I’m self employed, eat paleo, and workout pretty much for a living, so I’m not exactly the highest risk patient. Do you have any advice for you self employed, newly 26 years olds out there? Or really anyone. Advise me. I need you.

    Marry someone in the military and get free health insurance! KIDDING!!! Don’t do that. The doctors just throw pills at you and don’t actually help with anything. Now I’m venting 🙂

    1. Mandy says:

      Hahaha! I literally LOL’d. Because it is so true.

    2. dane b. says:

      that is so damn true. the VA is the exact same way.

    3. JoDeen Stanley says:

      After 22+ yrs of being a military dependent I have never known that to be true. My family and I always had great care.

  5. Michele @ paleorunningmomma says:

    Recipe looks yum, except I’ll probably have it with eggs instead of wrapped in lettuce!

    My kids used to do the same thing your dog did with the carrot (or some kind of chew spit thing) and it was always when I was busy with something and didn’t notice till later. And I didn’t learn my lesson and kept giving them carrots. I also share your frustration with tech stuff as I’m clueless. Nothing like wasting hours accomplishing nothing 🙂

    1. Carol says:

      Thanks for this! Those rates look really reasonable and I like the co-op idea a lot!! 🙂

  6. Greta @ fueledbyfresh says:

    Ugh! Aren’t technology problems the worst! That buffalo chicken salad looks bomb and I am totally putting that one on this weeks grocery list! My husband is obsessed with anything buffalo style so I’m sure it will be a win! Hope your techy problems get sorted soon!

  7. laura says:

    As a Canuck I can’t resist giving this advice….Move to Canada and get free health care 🙂

    1. juli says:

      Ha! I wish!!

  8. Polly @ Tasty Food Project says:

    These lettuce cups looks yummy! You can’t go wrong with Frank’s hot sauce! I also use it when I make wings. 🙂

    And about health insurance… I work in healthcare and I still think health insurance is confusing!
