{ NEW COOKING VIDEO! }
I’m SO PUMPED for this recipe because it’s so damn good! Just a heads up before you even leave a question – no, I have not tried this with another paleo mix. And no, you cannot exchange this mix out for simply almond flour or coconut flour. Not how it works. I’ve only made this recipe the way it is written here. And the way I’ve written it is quite delicious so I recommend ordering that mix!!
There is LITERALLY (said in a Chris Traeger Parks & Rec voice) too much to talk about in this Bachelor recap. You know why? Because the Bachelor Winter Games kicked off last week along with a long ass episode of The Bachelor. LITERALLY 6 hours of Bachelor in one week. It’s too much. I may have to recap Winter Games on my podcast because it’s gooooood. So good. Why even watch the Bachelor anymore? Winter Games is so much better.
But let’s recap the boring part – Arie. That damn soggy potato. The episode starts off with the most rational thoughts ever spoken on the show…Jaqueline says that she can’t imagine taking Arie home to her parents after they’ve barely known each other. She’s obviously the most intelligent woman to have ever graced the show. And she uses really big words to prove it. I would tell you what the word was, but I don’t know how to spell it.
So the episode starts off with Arie and Becca going on a date where he tells producers that the romances has been lost with Becca, but then goes off to make out with her as much as possible. He says that he’s having a hard time figuring out if he’s going to give her the rose…then STOP MAKING OUT WITH HER and have a damn conversation, Arie. I’m having a hard time even watching this show at this point because I can’t stand watching Arie grab the girls hair and faces and push them up against a wall to make out. Find a new move, bro. They have a dinner date on what looks like some cheap soap opera set then the best part of the date is watching him walking slowly down a steep hill…he looks like he’s trying to pinch off a poop.
After Becca and Arie have their date, Jacqueline decides she has to end things with Arie. Since Jacqueline is getting her PhD, Arie thinks that it would be too hard to date her during her 6 years left of school. Remember, Lauren mentioned that Arie was looking for someone with a flexible schedule and I don’t think getting a PhD works for Arie’s needs in a woman. So she uses her brain and peaces out. Jacqueline has odd eyeliner choices, but she’s smart AF.
Now for the weirdest part of the show…Arie and Lauren’s date. They head out to get gelato, where Arie eats his gelato like it’s a turkey leg. It’s quite offensive. Then they have to play soccer with kids. My nightmare. I forget what else they did because I probably fell asleep at this point. Lauren is the same as Arie. She’s a soggy potato. Or at least she is with him. She just seems so bored. So they end up having their normal dinner where Lauren decides to tell Arie that she’s falling in love with him. At this point, the producers are up to something. They either cut the film in odd ways or told him to walk away. Because after Lauren spills her guts, Arie walks away and stands in some sort of woods by himself. I’m sure he just had the farts from gelato and needs to let one rip, but the producers spun it like he was questioning his feelings. But then he comes back and tells her that he’s falling for her too. Such boring love.
Now for Sienne’s date. They go truffle hunting. Nothing sexier than truffle hunting. But I thought truffle hunting used pigs, not dogs. That’s also coming from someone who knows nothing about truffles. So Sienne and Arie go out with some French dude and hang out with a huge French family who don’t speak English. They are split up on the date and Arie hangs out with the dudes while Sienne hangs out with the women. Who made this date up? It’s stupid. In the end, the truffle hunting wasn’t romantic enough for Arie and he decides to boot Sienne. She seems slightly upset, but not really. She’s mostly pissed because she didn’t see it coming. Because Arie is a potato. They should have her as the next Bachelorette. She has her sh*t together.
Last up, the group date with Kendall, Tia and BeKAH. Kendall is looking fuiiiiiine, so Arie decides to keep her and she gets to go back to the hotel. Now it’s between Tia and BeKAH. And we all know Tia is going to win because BeKAH is wearing elf shoes. Tia ends up throwing BeKAH under the bus and says that she’s not ready for a longterm relationship. And when Arie confronts her about it, BeKAH crushes it with fake crying. She has this insane cry face, but no tears come out. It’s great acting. If you look up Justin Long crying on New Girl, she looks just like him. Or Kim Kardashian crying. It’s painful to watch. But at the end of the day, Arie lets her go because she’s 22 and has some growing up to do. Meaning producers probably needed her to go because they knew she would never be the next Bachelorette. She ugly cries, but for real this time, in the car ride out. So much mascara all over her face. Could producers not hand her a tissue? Come on!
I’m still a week behind so I haven’t watched the home town dates yet, but it looks like it’s filled with dads telling Arie they will kill him. Real original, dads.

I love that you called him a “soggy potato.” Haha, I can’t even.
Also, this looks so yummy, can’t wait to try it. 🙂
This casserole was delicious! I loved it. I did not have the Paleo baking flour so I substituted my own mixture of almond flour and coconut flour. It turned out great!
Just started listening to your podcasts, so hilarious. Can’t wait to try this. How are the left overs with the cornbread? Does it get soggy?
you can reheat it in the oven to help with that texture change
I’ve reheated it before in both microwave and oven. Obviously oven was better but microwave worked too. It oddly enough freezes great as well!
Juli! Your videos are so awesome! The camera angles, editing, music, your smile, its all ON POINT! I can tell you put a lot of work into these and it shows through. So my question is, when will we get to see you on America’s Next Food Network Star!? You could totally have your own cooking show!
I am now craving that paleo corn bread!
i don’t think i would ever want to do a reality show like that. it looks so insanely stressful and miserable to compete against other people and made to look bad at times for the world. not my thing haha. i already get put on blast daily just on my blog (see comment below) so i’d rather stay away from the energy
OMG Juli. I might try this recipe tonight. How many servings do you think is in this?
six!
Why do you drone on and on? I will stop clicking these egotistical rantings, and find straight up recipes. And it’s not just you. Every friggin’ snowflake has a blog they just must share….ugh!!! BORING. Do something different. Pull ahead of the pack. Your not interesting or cute in any way, shape or form. Your a clone.
You welcome.
thank you for your feedback! i really appreciate it!
I love your blog, podcast, and Instagram. I think you’re damn funny AND cute and interesting! When I am looking for a straight-up recipe I just scroll past the other stuff until I find the actual recipe, it takes me about 2 seconds. I’ve never thought of it as a problem… Not really sure why someone would complain about free content and free recipes. People are rude, but I can’t wait to try this! Looks sooo good!
I don’t really see why you felt the need to post your comment. If you want just the recipe then just take the recipe which Juli so kindly shares 100’s of on her blog for free. The only payment you make is taking the 3 seconds to scroll to the bottom of the post to skip the chit-chat. Constructive feedback is good, but I don’t feel your comment was constructive whatsoever. Constructive would be suggesting a way for her to “pull ahead of the pack” like something you’d like to see more of. Simply telling someone they are not interesting or cute is just rude.
Jesus Christ! ???? Sorry you’re having a bad life and feel the need to put other people down. If you don’t want to read her commentary don’t read it. Easy peasy! Juli you’re awesome and I live for your bachelor recaps. I’m sitting in my car laughing hysterically as I read. Also I just ordered that paleo flour and I’m so excited to try this recipe!
Dear “OhPlease”
*You’re
FTFY.
You’re welcome.
Did that make you feel better? Sounds like an egotistical rant about a “rant”. Not creative at all! Your= ownership, You’re= You are
Juli, we love you! You’ve made such a difference in my life and helped make my Paleo transition easy! Clearly OhPlease got up on the wrong side of the bed!
omg seriously? This is a BLOG. Not just a recipe site. and it literally takes two seconds to scroll past her post in case you just want the recipe. Just trying to help 😉
You’re…SMH
You have a low IQ & unfortunately for you, you cannot pull away from your pack. ????
*you’re
🤦🏼♀️
This looks amazing! I’ve been waiting for this recipe, but I have to wait a little longer for more paleo baking flour to arrive.
it’s worth the wait!
Soooo….I don’t watch the bachelor but your cliff notes made it all happen right in front of me. That’s was effing hilarious.
Btw, I’ve been waiting for this recipe for WEEKS! Hallelujah
glad i could help entertain katie haha!! hope you love the recipe!
Thanks for another yummy recipe Juli!! I’ve never commented, but I make so many of your recipes on a regular basis (both from your blog and cookbook), and appreciate the hard work you put into your blog. I’ve seen some of the nasty comments you’ve received over the years from jealous and insecure people, they are the reason I would never have a blog, you have MUCH thicker skin than me!! I’m going to Austin in May, and will be visiting all the restaurants you’ve recommended:) Thanks again for all you do to make eating healthy easier!!
Hello,
Do yoy have to use this specific flour? I have almond, coconut, arrowroot and tapioca. Thanks!
if you can figure out the measurements to match their baking flour to get the same consistency, you are more than welcome to do that!
You always knock it out of the park with your recipes. Struggling with buying 13.99 topping though
