Meatloaves? Meatloafs? I don’t like how meatloaves looks. The word. I’m not writing that as my recipe name. It kinda creeps me out.
I went out this weekend. Well, kind of. I first went out to lunch at The Crushery (pretty much my fav restaurant) with Rj and Clark. I made myself blueberry honey chai coconut milk ice cream. I ate all of mine. The guys didn’t finish theirs. The disappoint that fills my loins is unbelievable. I don’t know what I just said. But pretty much they are p*ssys. It’s just fact. Sorry boys.
Then the night came. It was Sarah’s bday and I was totally down to do whatever she wanted. Then I worked out, sat on the couch for an hour because I thought I was going to die, then dragged myself to the shower, then put my workout pants back on (I know I’m gross but spandex are my life) then styled my hair, then went to Sarah’s house, then I sat down. Big mistake. I had been up since 4:20 am and was absolutely exhausted. I made it until 11pm. Then had to go home and pass out. Fail. I suck as a best friend. Then Laura and Steph had to take a cab ride home…from less than 2 miles away. I suck as a roommate.
Then I finished my weekend off with make paleo banana bread french toast. I literally love myself for making this. I’m not joking. Somebody has got to love me so it has to be myself. I’m so narcissistic.
Then I got to meet with Greg from Renegade Fitness and asked him about making mens shirts. I have wanted to make guys shirts for a while BUT the majority of my readers (or at least the people who comment) are women soooooo it’s hard to figure out if they would sell. So I gotta ask you now, if I had guy shirts available, would you buy one!? Or would you buy one for your husband or boyfriend or best friend?
Please let me know in the comments because I need proof that at least more than 10 men read my blog. Pleasepleasepleaseplease. And thank you.
Guess what else I got for ya?! A humiliating cooking video!! Yes, I do dance. Yes, I wear sunglasses while I dance. Yes, I look very pale. Please just support the cause. The mini meatloaves. There I said it. I hated every second of it.

- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- First you gotta make your meatloaf. In a pot or pan, add your coconut oil and minced garlic.
- When garlic becomes fragrant, add your onion and green pepper to cook down until onion becomes translucent. Then remove from heat to cool.
- While veggies cool, add your ground beef and andouille sausage to a large bowl, then add your cooled veggies, eggs, almond flour and the rest of your spices.
- Use your hands or a spoon to combine all the ingredients.
- Press meat mixture into your muffin tin. If you are using silicone liners, you won’t have to grease them but if you are not, grease your muffin tin.
- Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
- While your mini little guys are cooking, make your sauce.
- Add a tablespoon of coconut oil to your saucepan, add your minced garlic and minced onion to begin to cook down.
- Once the onion is translucent, add your tomato sauce, hot sauce, and seasonings to cooking on low and thicken.
- Once the little meat packages are done, top them off with your sauce!
- Eat!!
While I might not actually buy a shirt, I figured I would let you know that I am a male that is now reading your blog via an RSS subscription.
Just found the site a couple days ago via marksdailyapple.com
Haha thanks for your honesty!! You’re still awesome 🙂
This is probably a weird thing to say, but I want my butt to look like yours one day.
HA! That’s hilarious because all you need is Lululemon in your life, it makes everything better. Lulu slightly lies, just know that.
Lulu’s sports bras are amazing – i look like i might still have boobs when i wear them, instead of like a 12 year old girl.
Lol they are wicked awesome!! Holds everything in place quite well
Yoga pants are like the wonderbras of the *ss world…DON’T TELL THE MEN!
For reals. Poor men
as a male that reads this blog, this strain is hilarious, especially since I own multiple pairs of lulu. the secret is out ladies.
Lulus look great on guys bums so you’re really just down right smart Jeff
what about tiny dog t-shirts? my chihuahua chicken expressed interest… though she’s a girl dog not a boy.
I’ll look into it Amanda 😉
Don’t know if I’d buy a shirt either, but I regularly check out the blog. Depends on what the shirt looks like. Love the recipes though…..and the humor of course! Good stuff
I agree with Mallory. I want your butt as well. I actually made you savory meatloaf this weekend into mini-loafs & one actual “meat loaf” so I could live off of them for the next week. They are delish! I actually ate half the meatloaf in one sitting last night.
Genius KerriAnn!! That sounds super delish!!
awesome… all of it. awesome
Lol ur awesome Jarrett!
i’m a guy. and i might buy a shirt. but so far i’d be the only one. so you could just get a blank t-shirt and write on it with sharpie. it’d be cheaper i guess. haha 🙂
You rock Rob. I officially love you the most since you’re the only one who MIGHT
Awesome vid. You are getting much more comfortable in front of the camera. The editing is getting better too. The dance parties are def the best part.
You know what would be cool? Is if you had a little animation with your logo and a jingle at the beginning. You should find someone to do that for you.
Nice work!
Lol thank you Mather. I’m just being more myself, which is even more humiliating than I sometimes portray.
And I TOTALLY want to do that, just don’t know how!!
I would by a men’s shirt even though I’m a woah-man. My “genetic gifts” (tatas) just won’t cooperate in women’s size tshirts. I might get one for husband too.
We will find you a shirt for those friends of yours!
Thanks 🙂
Same as what Stephanie said! Oh, and I’d marry Cholula if I polygamy weren’t illegal.
Cholula is pure heaven
if you like cholula, you should try valentina. it’s the mexican ketchup. especially delicious on, well, everything, but what i meant to say was it’s especially delicious on jicama. with some lime and a bit of salt. i promise you that i’m white. this is what happens when you live in texas and marry a mexican :-p
by the way (yeah, i’m a stalker), way to kill WOD 12.1! a score deserving of falling asleep early!
Where do you get your valentina? And it’s cool, that’s what the games website is all about, stalking others. It’s like a facebook specific to crossfitters. genius.
i actually found it at super target. it was something like $1.50 for 32 oz or some ungodly amount. we’ve had the bottle for several months and haven’t used more than maybe 1/8th of the bottle.
Ooooh, you should try Trader Joe’s chili pepper sauce. I’m pretty sure it kicks Cholula’s ass. Yep. Pretty sure.
Wish we had a trader joes out here!
