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 was born and raised in South Florida, so the Keys were never too far away. My parents used to talk about how the secluded majesty of the Keys has been overrun by commercialism and tourists, but we would still drive down there once in a while. Tip: I stayed in an awesome two-story house on sticks with a wraparound patio on the water in Islamorada. It’s one of the Keys, not as far down as Key West but not as pricey either. Then, you can just drive down to Key West for the day/night, go to Sloppy Joe’s, watch the sunset in Mallory Square, eat key lime pie, etc.
I love this! I may try it with shredded pork too.
that sounds amazing!!
UGH yum!!!! I put some chicken in the crockpot this morning because I’ve been craving some shredded chicken. I totally know where it’s going tonight… Into this recipe, of course!
Also, I’ve been to Sanibel Island a few times, but it was when I was younger so I don’t have any deets on where to go or stay. I just remember there was plenty to do and it was beautiful!
Your recipes are to DIE for, by the way : )
Sorry about all of the Paleo police out there… Don’t people have better things to do than criticize?!
I will definitely try this!!
My favorite comments on your IG account are the ones that ask you for the recipe for the against the grain rolls.. Umm hello idiot!
Anyway, if you are looking for a great beach vacation, you must check out Destin, FL. It is on the gulf coast, but it is the prettiest white sandy beach you have ever seen. I’ve been a few times with family and it is very reasonably priced. We rented a house in a gated community for super cheap and had its own private beach entrance. Definitely check in to it.
I agree with Chelsea, Destin is gorgeous! I live in Louisiana, and that’s where most people around here go on beach vacations. I’ve never been to Key West, so I can’t speak for it. But definitely look at Destin!
This recipe looks great! Can’t wait to try it!
I know it’s not really what you asked, but I have to third the Destin recommendation. It. Is. Gorgeous. Everything about it. And I could afford it, which is saying something!
Key West is amazing and I am super poor! I stayed there with a group after a Ragnar race and had so much fun. There are chickens (and roosters, crowing roosters at 5 am) everywhere, I think it is a chicken sanctuary.
I consider Key West for the 20-somethings that have graduated from Cancun!…oh wait, that’s probably you! lol! I think the prior posts are all good. And just to reiterate, there is one tiny beach in key west, mainly used for weddings. So I recommend going elsewhere if you’re looking for a beach. The idea about going to one of the other keys and visiting key west is excellent!
Now let’s say your book jumps to a #1 best seller (because we know it will) and you get a massive bonus or win the lottery, etc….check out littlepalmisland.com!
Key West is awesome. Get a room with a kitchen on Duval Street and bring in your own booze. You can make your own drinks (no open container laws) and stop in the bars occasionally.
You need to teach Jackson to bite the ‘Paleo Police’, or at the very least to pee on their shoes. On another note, um try having a Great Dane puppy, just think of the amount of pee they can save up! Puppies are such jerks…. Lucky they are cute otherwise we’d be making enchiladas out of them!
That sounds nommy!
People need to stop getting their panties in a bunch. If you don’t like cheese then don’t eat it. Me; I will be eating the cheese! 😉
