I think I’m recovered from Vegas. I think. I’ve still been going to bed earlier and sleeping in later then I feel like my body is broken, but I think it’s almost over. It’s crazy what lack of sleep can do to you. But those Vegas stories will have to wait until tomorrow. Because it’s Bachelorette recap tiiiiiiiime! Honestly, my Vegas trip has better stories than the Monday night episode, but those stories will be perfect for a Thursday, when you’re just wishing for Friday and don’t want to use your brain anymore. That’s what Vegas is all about.
Ok, first off, can we talk about how hot JoJo looked in every often on the show? I seriously wanted every single dress. She looked so adorable. I wish I was one of her friends and could just let her know how cute she is. She probably knows it, but still, hearing it from other women is just the best.
So before we talk about the dates, I first want to talk about my theories. I feel like Jordan is just like how Shawn was to Kaitlyn: she’s totally, completely into him but she still has to go through the whole show knowing that she’s going to pick Jordan. Could just be the lust from his hair flipping, though. It’s hard to tell. That hair can be pretty damn mesmerizing, if you’re not careful.
I just noticed that I think I went to college with Chase. Weird, eh?
The dates were pretty boring this week. Jordan just dry humped on a yacht and then they swam with seals. I would be 100% not ok with swimming with seals in open water and they were just giggling about it. Don’t those things bite?! Or just come at your head on and ram you because you’re in their space? F*ck no. Not cool with that date. And did you think Jordan got WICKED weird when she brought up the cheating stuff? He got sketchy sketch. Not sure he’s totally trust worthy but that’s usually how I feel about men obsessed with their hair.
But I was into the snowboarding down the sand, except every guy almost broke their neck. I’m so bummed Evan didn’t get a bloody nose, that was my favorite thing about the guy. And how did Wells not break an arm? That guy is just a wittle guy.
What do you think about the competitive swimmer guy saying he’s in love with her? Do you think they just do this to stay in the game and stay remembered? Because there’s NO WAY that they’re in love yet right?! I guess there’s always love at first site but I would think that would be hindered when she has 20 other junks are crowding around her, right? Totally right.
Isn’t it like a rule to not tell someone you love them 3 weeks into dating? I think that’s what they call a stage 5 clinger. And from what I know, people aren’t usually into clingers. But most people aren’t into being on a show that makes you embarrass yourself weekly on a national TV. But I guess love is love.
PS – the guys spreading Chad’s protein powder ashes was my favorite part of the entire 2 hours. Along with Vinny’s skinny jeans. Those were amazing.

The “destinations” this season make me LOL. Pennsylvania? And the view from the hotel in Uruguay looked so lame, it was just a parking lot. Remember on Chris’s season they went to Bali?! And now they’re in sketchy waters with seals and probably sharks.
Agree with your assessment on Jordan. I was on the Derek train because I feel like his face looks like Jim from The Office, but now I’m kinda weirded out by his vibe. I think James is the cutest little baby, but IDK if he can compete with Jordan. Also, don’t you think Jordan is just trying to be The Bachelor for next season? That’s probably why he was so annoyed by the cheating question because it fucks with his chances of getting 25 women/fame/a dancing with the stars contract in like 6 months.
I’m into your bach/bachelorette recaps! Gotta love bonding with strangers over the internet about the exploitation of love!
for realllllll. how did they come up with Pennsylvania lol?!? so weird!
Do people NOT watch Shark Week???? Ummmm….no way in hell would I be swimming with seals in the open water. BTW Shark week starts this weekend.
Totally love your pics and love this recipe! Perfect for these HOT summer dayzzzz! I don’t watch the Bachelorette, but you make me want to watch just so I can understand what you’re talking about LOL!
Your recap was spot on! I think Jordan is just trying to compete with the fact that his brother is dating Olivia Munn. Did you hear about Ben and Lauren’s new reality TV show?!? It sounds like Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey: Newlyweds.
Hope you had a lovely trip in Vegas! It’s pretty easy to get jet-lagged, for sure! Anyways, this frappe looks phenomenal, and I love that it’s completely healthy too! So delicious!
This recipe looks wonderful, except there is not the recipe for the salted Carmel sauce with it. I think it is so very rude to post a recipe with one of the major ingredients needing another recipe and not sharing that recipe with us. This post is useless without the salted Carmel sauce. In order to get that you. Need to buy a cookbook? Not. Cool really.
sorry that frustrates you, lisa. i know MANY people who have bought the book just for that caramel recipe so they have been able to make my other recipes that include the caramel and have been completely happy with the book. i worked hard for my perfect caramel recipe and since i use it all the time, you’ll probably see it in other recipes, i just keep it in the book because i worked really hard for that book. sorry again you’re frustrated! hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Good for you Juli – keep up the positive energy and good work! You’re a classy lady!
Your book is totally worth the few bucks I payd for it on Kindle. Love and appreciate your recipes, both the free ones you post on here and in the book. I find nothing wrong with you promoting your book through the recipes on your own site. Excited to try this one, keep up the good work 🙂
thank you so much, anna! i worked so hard for that book and i want to continue to promote it and show people what a great resource it is and all the delicious recipes it has to offer! i don’t think that’s rude when i’ve shared over 650 free recipes here haha. thank you so so much for your support!!
You’re welcome! 🙂
I just made this today, and I have to say OMG, this is so amazing!!! I just started going Paleo about 3 months ago, and the one thing I was missing, with summer here, we’re my Starbucks Frappe. Thank you thank you thank you! And I too am really enjoying your cookbook!
this is definitely a much better option than those crappy frappes! so glad you loved it!!
Surrounded by ‘junks’?!?! You are the best! Laughed so hard I spewed coffee all over my phone. 😉
Hi Juli,
I just wanted you to know that you have opened up a whole new world for my son, who is allergic to dairy. Before finding your blog, other Paleo recipes we tried left a lot to be desired! I bought your cookbook after buying the one you did with Civilized Caveman. You have awesome recipes! And this caramel sauce is no exception!! I made it today and my son loved it! He was so happy eating it on his dairy free ice cream! You have really made a difference for my family! Thank you for your hard work!
awesome!! so glad i could help, chastity!
