We were doing so good. Jackson has been doing his business outside like a champ. But this morning, he decided that standing next to the door was good enough. I’m pretty sure he’s been holding that amount of pee in for at least a week. He’s about 13 pounds and now he’s probably 6 pounds. That guy.

I’m real excited. My favorite blogger, How Sweet It Is, finally has her first cookbook for preorder. Let me preface something: she is not a paleo blogger. Not even close. But she has incredibly creative recipes and the best photography ever.  And she’s funny. Funny women are the best. I’m absolutely preordering her book just so I can stare at the pictures.

I’ve thought something was a bit funny at instagram lately. So whenever I post a picture using Against The Grain Gourmet rolls, people get all upset because they have cheese in them. And if my instagram name is paleomg, I should post only strict paleo foods. BUT when I post any sort of dessert like chocolate or my cupcakes or anything sweets related, NO ONE ever complains. I think it’s the strangest thing.

Just to spite those people, I put goat cheese on this recipe. What an a**hole I am.

PS I’m typing this blog post with one hand because Jackson refuses to calm the sh*t down. So I’m shoving his bone in his mouth to try to keep him calm. It ain’t workin’.

Have you seen my newsletter yet?? I recently decided to try something new and stop sending out my daily recipe emails and just send out a weekly newsletter recapping everything that was on the blog. And then, I’ll also be able to send you book tour dates! I haven’t found out set dates for the tour yet, but I should know in the next week! So sign up and then I can meet you guys at book signings!!

On a complete different subject, I’m dreaming about a vacation. I have some weddings this summer and I’ll probably spend a lot of time on the lake, but I need a beach vacation come fall. I’ve been quite intrigued with the thought of going to the Florida Keys and Key West. I’ve heard that it’s pretty expensive, but it looks like one of the most gorgeous places. Has anyone been there? I want to know more about it, but from people instead of just the internet. Tell me things. Did you love it? What was your favorite place to stay? What did you do there? Are you a million?

    I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about this recipe as it seemed a bit dull and goat cheese on a Spanish dish? To my surprise it was fantastic. I didn’t change a thing or make any substitutions. Both my husband and I loved it! Hoping it will make for great leftovers in our lunch tomorrow! Thank you for a great recipe!!!

    It’s way to hot to use my oven. Do you think it will cook well in a crockpot?

    1. juli says:

      no clue

  3. Kat says:

    How are any of these Paleo? Canned enchilada sauce is certainly NOT Paleo

    1. juli says:

      El Pato’s ingredients are Tomato Puree, Water, Chiles, Onions, Garlic, Citric Acid, Oregano, Salt and Spices. If you don’t want to eat that you’re welcome to improvise.

  4. Beth says:

    Loved it!!!!






  5. Jenn says:

    Mine was way too watery as others have commented, the enchilada sauce maybe was too thin, who knows. It tasted good but I wasn’t in LOVE with it like my friends. Definitely will try to tweak it a little bit next time! I also only used two eggs.

    Just browsing through some of your older posts and saw this delish pic. Then saw that you mentioned how you wanted to go to the Keys in this post as well as a recent one you put out. I think that means your husband HAS to say yes to the Keys. You’ve been wanting to go for over 2 years now!!

    1. juli says:

      say what?! see, i definitely need to get there now if i’ve been talking about it for that long lol

  7. Karady says:

    Is there anyway you can include a small picture on your print out for the recipes? That would be SO helpful!






    1. juli says:

      i’ll see if i can get the system to do that!

  8. Michelle says:

    I’ve made this several times and love it! Think it would be just as tasty with ground beef?






    1. juli says:

      sure!

  9. Jesse says:

    I’ve made this several times but choose to go non-Paleo and roll the mixture in tortillas, reserving a small amount of enchilada sauce to spread along the bottom of the baking dish and on top of the tortillas before putting them in the oven.

    I’ve found the recipe works well with two eggs instead of three and in lieu of, goat cheese, use a small amount of shredded Mexican – blend+ cotija, added for the last 10 minutes of baking.
