So, get this. I did not come up with the ‘Clean it up Mondays’ idea. It was actually the boyfriend. He mentioned that I should do something similar to The Chive. He’s obsessed with that website. Along with every other male on this planet who likes to look at half naked selfie shots that women send in. You sluts, you. JUST KIDDING. Work with what you got. Anywho, his idea was to have certain days that I post certain things. Like how The Chive has hump day pictures that show half naked chicks. Well, since I don’t have half naked chick pictures to post, I thought doing something on Monday to make us healthier would suffice. And since so many of us real people tend to fall off the wagon a bit during the weekend, he thought Mondays would be a great day to post a recipe that would help you (and me) clean up our eating habits. GENIUS. He’s the greatest.
Now, Clean it up Monday also includes working out. If you haven’t joined a gym yet or started working out on your own, hopefully these Clean it up Mondays will help you out. What’s that you say? You can’t afford a gym? Don’t you worry. I know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy, that posts new workouts daily, all workouts you can do at home on your own. That’s not true, I know the owner and he’s wonderful. And he’s ready to get you fit in your own household. And the best part of all, it’s FREE. So if you go onto Bodeefit.com, you’ll be greeted with a new email daily, telling you what workout you’ll be doing AND how to do it all with videos. Pretty rad.
Ok, enough about working out. KIDDING, LET’S TALK ABOUT MORE. Do you already workout on your own so you’re bored with this entire conversation? Well, perfect. Instead, let’s talk about some new workout songs to add to your collection. Here are some of my new favorites right now:
- I miss the misery by Halestorm
- Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke
- It’s Time – Kat Krazy Remix by Imagine Dragons
- Next to Me – James Egbert Remix by Emeli Sande
- Collide – Afrojack Remix by Leona Lewis
- Come & Get It by Selena Gomez
- Can’t Hold Us by Macklemore
- Ray Ban Vision by A-Trak
- Anything by Jason Derulo
- Anything by Avicii
Now go listen to delightful music tunes. While you’re working out. Create a happier and healthier new you.
Ok, I’m annoyed with this over-the-top happiness.

Girl, you are teaching me how to cook! I felt a need to express my gratitude since I’ve been cooking my way through your charming little blog for the last 2 weeks; I was starting to feel like a stalker. Everything has been outstanding and gotten me props. Im obsessed with your cuban rice!!!!! This easy recipe is just what I needed to cook for my man while we watch some NBA Playoffs tonight. Merci Beacoup chef Juli.
Just made these with Okinawan sweet potatoes (the purple ones – usually the only ones I can find here in Hawaii). I mangled the potato skins entirely. So it was mostly delicious stuff on top of skin scraps, but completely amazing even with my lack of skills. Your site is the one reason why I’m eating so much better and mostly-paleo-ish. Thank you! 🙂
Made this today – it was amazing.
AWESOME running songs! Thank you so much! (And isn’t Blurred Lines just addicting??) 🙂
Yum! This was delicious! I added bacon to them because well, I had it in the fridge. My husband is also obsessed with The Chive… Because you know they have funny pictures, right. If you’re ever down in Durango, we have a great crossfit box here 🙂
You. are. fucking. HILARIOUS.
Made these last night and they were amazing! Used siracha (and lots of it ha) and they were delicious. I’ll definitely be using this as a go to clean and delicious meal!
Just found this website today! I started doing paleo this week…I’ve had food allergies to gluten, milk, and eggs (and other random foods like eggplant…??) I already made this recipe and LOVED it! I’m also a major foodie…and should have switched to paleo months ago. I will be on your site literally everyday now. And also you’re hilarious! Please keep posting stories about goose poop and what not!
This was really simple and delicious. You know what I did with this? You know what I did?! I bought really big sweet potatoes and ate half for dinner and half for breakfast. Kiddos took one look at the meat mixture and said no way. Passing on protein is blasphemy around here. Got them to take a bite. After they tried it, they came back for thirds!
Oh, and I love the breakfast meatloaf too. Gonna try mixing in stuff like kale and/or apples etc. etc. etc.
Tried this tonight for dinner! Amazing!! My husband gave it a 7/10! I did use a little less hot sauce but OMG was it delish! Definitely going in the ‘cook again’ recipe book! Thanks for sharing!
