I’ve made the conscious decision that I cannot and will not carry a purse any longer. Pretty much because I take my lifting shoes with me wherever I go. And two water bottles. And tape. And a lacrosse ball. And 2-3 containers of Tupperware. And another change of shoes. Yeah…a purse just ain’t cuttin’ it. So I’ve moved to a back pack. I’ve wanted to get a super stylish Lululemon tote/bag/thing to carry around with me so I don’t look like a school child, but those things cost like a million dollars. More like $130, but come on, I don’t just have $130 sitting around. I have a change jar people. That I utilize. Often.

OMG. I forgot to tell you guys, my first cooking video for Again Faster came out! I made my Sweet Potato and Apple Breakfast Patties for the video! An old recipe but a goodie. I kind of burned the patties on film, but whatevs. Thank goodness I had Patrick Cummings to do an amazing job with the photography so it still looked edible. I still ate most of it.  I’ll seriously eat anything though.

This was the first video I shot so you can tell I’m a bit nervous. And awkward. And I have real people clothes on so I’m even MORE awkward. I shot 7 cooking videos out in Boston. That means 7 different outfits. Do you know how difficult it was to come up with SEVEN different outfits? Way difficult. I think I was pittin’ out in every video. Cute.

  2. Amy says:

    Looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it!

  3. Brooke says:

    I’ve seriously been craving ribs…this settled it. I need to make some.

  4. Melissa Simson says:

    Juli I love the video – You’re a natural! You never have a lull. You’re so cute – if it smells good, it probably tastes good. You are my hero!

  5. Tim says:

    Ok, I just watched this vidio three times. Three times Juli. Like, didn’t take my eyes off it the whole time. I see Juli (that would be you) in a kitchen with food making something delish…BUT, WTF, where’s the dancing??? I don’t get it. Is this some kinda trick? Did I miss something?

    1. juli says:

      haha tim, no dancing for Again Faster, a bit more professional

  6. Eric says:

    I have the ribs in the crockpot as we speak. They look nothing like yours though. How did you get that nice char look? It looks like you finished them off in the oven or something, because half my ribs are under the liquid so they won’t char, and the liquid ran right off of the ribs that are at the top of my stack, so they look kinda plain. Ugh, I suck.






    1. juli says:

      I wouldn’t call it a char, more of a pastey sauce on top

  7. Katrina says:

    My ribs don’t all fit in my crockpot! Can this be done in the oven at a low temperature setting over several hours? Thoughts?

    1. juli says:

      I’m sure it could Katrina!

      1. Holly says:

        what temp for the oven????

        1. juli says:

          oh goodness, I have absolutely no clue but probably on a low temperature for a good amount of time

  8. Kate says:

    what crockpot do you use?

  9. Amanda says:

    Ugh, I live in the boonies. So I got the only dried chilies they had at the grocery store “New Mexican Chilies”. Using pork sirloin instead of ribs – I had meat in the freezer that needed to be used. So I guess I really didn’t follow the recipe. But it was a good template, hope it doesn’t taste like butt.

  10. kim s says:

    my ribs ended up covered in watery sauce, did you take the lid off and let it cook down or cook it down in a sauce pan. Onions not carmelized either. I followed the directions. :/
