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?

Why do you recommend El Pato specifically? Does it have clean ingredients or is that just what you prefer when you don’t make the sauce yourself? I am not sure I have ever seen it.
yes, clean ingredients. you could totally make it yourself though!
Where can I purchase el pato sauce? It’s expensive online!
Any grocery store – even Walmart
I’m gonna top this with sour cream. That ought to blow the Instagramers’ minds.
This was pretty tasty! I had some leftover cauliflower rice so I threw that in to bulk it up and topped it with some Whole Foods Guac Kale Mole…..freaking delicious!
This looks amazing! I love enchiladas but gluten doesn’t love me. So gonna make this and then freeze it for when I have my baby…I can whack that into the microwave.
Wait, are microwaves Paleo? 😉 JK.
OMG, I have seen some of the comments and it makes me shake my head. People need to relax a little. Take a shot of tequila and chill out.
Thanks for all of your awesome recipes. Enjoy drooling over the cookbook. I follow her on IG…yummo!
This was a huge hit for mother’s day dinner! (Cheese offered on the side for the rebellious eaters haha) And to top it off the cleanup was a breeze. Extra appreciation for meals that taste like a million bucks and keep me looking less like a mad scientist in the kitchen.Thanks for all the awesome recipes, you are fabulous!
Loved this! I topped it with some avocado cream sauce and ate it with plantain chips. Perfection. 🙂
The food you create is wonderful. I make my own enchilada sauce. This is real good. Thanks
I made this last night and cut it into portions for my husband and I to use throughout the week. I was super excited that I bumped into the El Pato sauce at my local Wal-mart so I wouldn’t have to make my own homemade batch. I added a little fresh cilantro into the mixture before I baked it and added a seeded jalapeno as well for extra heat. Next time I am going to triple the recipe so I can portion and freeze some of it. Very delicious, healthy, and simple…what more could you ask for? 🙂
Thank you for the great recipe!
Just made this for the BF this weekend and baked it with a shredded cheese topping instead of the goat cheese. Had to double to recipe so it would last at least two days. Made some guacamole and plantain chips as a side. Huge hit!
Islamorada over Key West any day – The Cheeca Lodge is gorgeous, or the Islander Resort, which is a bit more economical, is a lot of fun, too. The Keys are the only place I feel truly relaxed. We are going Labor Day weekend and I can’t wait!
