I need to tell you about something that’s pretty much the greatest thing to happen to me since paleo brownies. Speaking of brownies, I might be making some this week for you. Just for you, definitely not for me. Anywho, I went to the gym the other day, and when I came out, my car was on. But I had my keys in my hand. I was confused. Like, uber confused. It wasn’t until I was handed to new remote starter to my car that I actually understood what was happening. I got an early Christmas present!! Since it’s been so freezing cold here, my car got a little helpful boost added to it while I was gone. So now, when I work the early shifts at the gym, I can start my car from bed and my butt will be warm as soon as I sit down. Paleo brownies and a warm car at 6am? HELL YES. This year can’t get any better.
I seriously love the movie Avatar. I’m guessing I’ve talked about this at least 4 times on my blog before, but whenever I get to see it again, I get so excited. It’s 1 of 2 movies I own. Avatar and The Breakfast Club. Makes sense. Both movies I cry in. For different reasons. But the Pandora’s world strikes more closely to my heart. Mostly because I want to live there and this world seems excessively boring when you watch that movie.
Speaking of another world, I’ve been remembering my dreams a lot lately. I wake up in the middle of the night, then once I fall back asleep, I have crazy dreams. Remember my dream about creepy people? Well, that one is still the worst. By far. But the other day, I had a dream about alligators. Or maybe it was a crocodile. I don’t really know the difference. I think alligators are smaller. So it was an alligator. Anywho, I was being chased by an alligator and what did I do? I jumped in a pool. THE ONE THING YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSE TO DO, I did. How childish of me. My dreams are childish. Anyways, when I woke up, the covers were all over the place, and my heart was racing. I’m guessing I was sweating too, mostly because I’m just a sweaty person. Does it count as exercise if your heart rate is elevated and you’re pitting out? I’m countin’ it.
I think I have poor circulation in my feet. They are ALWAYS cold. Socks on, socks off, shoes on, shoes off, fur boots on, fur boots off. I need heated socks for this winter.

The remote start is great, I have one but it’s pretty unnecessary down here in South Florida. I feel so fancy when I use it though 🙂
Made this a couple of nights ago and VERY pleased with how easy this recipe was and how tasty it ended up!
It was a bit overly spicy for the hubby, but just right for my Texan Taste Buds.
I made this the other day and it’s freaking awesome!
So I made this the other day and I have eaten it like 5 times so far and it’s still yummy! I’m going to use it at work on our soup day! But i’ll have to restock my spices……….Thanks for sharing!
This is outstanding! I used 1.5 T of paprika (ran out) and 1 t of cayenne. Did not add salt, as I wanted to taste first due to hot sauce. Turns out I didn’t need to – we added salt individually, as the flavors are strong, and the heat was winning out. It was plenty spicy for us. Topped with sharp cheddar (shoot me), guac, cilantro and lime. Really,really good. This is a go-to recipe for sure. Thanks!
I made this, & it was super good. What is the name again of the cookbook??
my first cookbook is ‘omg. that’s paleo?’ and the new one that’s for preorder is ‘the paleo kitchen’
P.S. What brand of spiralizer is best?? Thanx!
Yeah… best chili I’ve had in a while. I used jalapeno hot sauce (the green stuff) and it turned out amazing. My bf doesn’t like heat, and it IS spicy, but hey. More for me. Awesome recipe, thanks!

When you mention the remote start….I must caution you….never leave the car running in a garage,…even with the garage doors open.
Whole families have been killed when the exhaust fumes seeped into the house. Please don’t take a chance.
I wish you a happy new year!!!
And stay warm. ml
