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 recently heard of this thing called Airbnb. They rent out houses and apartments. The hotel industry says they are starting to affect their business. My friends used it on their trip Europe last year. It is becoming more popular in the U.S. and Key West is touristy enough to have some locations.
OMG!!! These were BOMB.COM awesome! ! I’m new to Paleo lifestyle and I’m LOVING IT… Not only have I’ve been able to drop 23 #’s in 5 weeks I’m loving all the recipe’s…Thank you so much for sharing…I am a true believer in owning it forward. ..and I do that with all your stuff I try…the double chocolate chip cookies are NEXT!!!
Try Siesta Key in Florida instead of Key West. The water is prettier, the beach is nicer, it’s not quite so touristy, it’s probably cheaper, too.
So are you sending only the newsletter now, instead of the emails?! I feel like I might miss something if I don’t see your email in my inbox every day. :-/
I Love your blog! You’re awesome 🙂
Made this for dinner tonight. Subbed a pound of sauteed ground turkey for the rotisserie chicken and added a whisper of white cheddar vs. goat cheese. Gobbled up by the fam. Even my teenage boy who normally turns his nose up at anything with a hint of veg.
We loved this recipe! My husband had 3 helpings!
This was fantastic!!!! Even my husband and son, who were unwillingly thrown on the paleo train, raved about this!! We are from Texas but live overseas, so these were a nice taste of home :). Thanks for the great recipe!!
Quick question- is it supposed to be pretty liquidy when finished? Not raw egg-y, but broth like liquid that pools at the bottom after I cut into it once finished 🙂 If not, any thoughts on how to fix it for the next time? (Because this will definitely be a repeat!)
Thanks!
no, it shouldn’t have much liquid
This recipe is totally amazing!! I was skeptical at first bc I’m not a huge fan of prepping meat with bones (a big problem when attempting a paleo diet, I know) like a rotisserie chicken has. But it looked so good that I manned up, prepped the chicken and boy am I glad I did! This is definitely going to be a repeat recipe for me.
I couldn’t actually find the el pato enchilada sauce called for in the recipe, and had to use a substitute (which was difficult– finding a paleo-friendly sauce, that is!). Where might I be able to find that particular brand? Is there a good substitute that anyone can recommend instead?
The site isn’t letting me rate for some reason (silly iPhone), but I’d give this recipe 5 stars!
i buy mine on amazon but i’ve had good luck at King Soopers finding it!
Juli, this recipe is flippin’ amazeballs. I’m not even kidding. I’ve probably made this recipe three times in the last month. I’ve missed Mexican food so much and this is the perfect substitute! Thank you so much for everything that you do!
Delicious!!! Topped with a little bit of crumbled queso fresco and some jalepenos! The BF wrapped his up in a tortilla, score!
This recipe is the BOMB and affordable! I got a rotisserie chicken at Earth Fare for $5, it’s their new $5 daily deals (THE. BEST.), shredded that sucker and added all the other goodies. I used half a can of jalapenos for a little more spice and it was perfect.
I packed this for my boyfriend’s lunch with organic blue corn tortilla chips, basically turning it into nachos, and he LOVED it! I will definitely be making this again! Keep up the awesomeness!
