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?

You must come to Seattle on your book tour!!!! 🙂
Love you and all of your recipes!
we will definitely be going there!
Key West is AMAZING! You will have an awesome time. Flights are a little pricey and depending on when you go lodging can be a little higher than other times! But it is worth it. Totally!! There are so many fun places to go and things to do. There’s an awesome sunset cruise called Commotion on the Ocean with live music! Lots of fun bars/restaurants and the best drag show I have ever seen (so fun, if it’s your thing). Very laid back and just awesome. But, the one hangup is the beaches are not the big crashing wave type beaches, they are the more quiet, calm beaches. The best one is Fort Zachary Taylor Beach. You have to pay to get in, like $5, because it’s a National Park, but it’s worth it! And if you go rent bikes one day and ride around the island! So fun!!
Come to the Virgin Islands! St. Thomas and St. John are beautiful! And the people are awesome, not that I am biased at all 😉 not to mention we all love your recipes.
I wish I could figure out how to follow you on Instagram. I don’t see a button and just can’t figure it all out.
I’m make these enchiladas tonight. Yum.
Just search paleomg on Instagram!
Holy drooling all over the place, this looks delicious! I’m on this god awful veggie / fruit / vitamin shake food allergy diet cleanse. So, basically the second I get cleared to eat some more normal foods…I’m making this! It will be like a last supper in reverse. First supper!! Thanks girl, rockin’ recipe!

I live in North Central Florida and love going to the Keys. A cool thing to do would be to fly in to Miami and then drive to Key West. The drive is AMAZING and beautiful, takes about 3 hours without stopping but you’ll want to. There are plenty of cool little restaurants, bars and scenic views along the way. The down side to that is you don’t really need the car once in Key West because it’s so walkable. You could fly into Key West but it’s a regional airport so it will be more expensive.
For a day trip from Key West take a boat or sea plane to the Dry Tortugas for a picnic and snorkeling trip. Some of the best snorkeling for sure.
Then of course do the ‘Duval Crawl’ (bar hopping along Duval Street) and eat Key Lime Pie.
If you want to fork out the big bucks for a hotel you can stay on Sunset Key which is a tiny island just off Key West that you take a quick little ferry to. I’ve never stayed there but seen pics and it looks pretty awesome.
Ha! My husband and I are headed to Key West next week!
We’re flying to Ft. Lauderdale and doing the drive to Key west…. we’ve never been either. I’m excited, but now that I’m reading that there’s really no beach – I’m bummed – I was hoping to do nothing but sleep on the beach all day.
Ah well…
Come visit West Palm/Palm Beach, please!!! You can stay with us with awesome beach access…and, if you want, get a complimentary treatment at our Chinese Medicine clinic (www.AlchemistClinic.com). (Sorry for the apparent plug–but it’s because we’re fans & would honestly love to host you).
Love your blog!

I just started eating Paleo a week ago after being inspired by my son who has been eating this way for the past year. I love it! Already dropping weight and feeling inspired. I love your blog, your wicked sense of humor and fantastic recipes. Keep up the good work 🙂
