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.

Hi! I am a total cooking and paleo newbie 🙂 If I freeze this how long would it last?
bought the ingredients and realized my crockpot is too small! how would you adjust the recipe? cut it in 1/2? use 1/2 the liquid? would the cooking time change?
yes, I would cut it in half for all ingredients. it would probably still need to cook for at least 6-7 hours
Just made this yesterday and I LOVED it!!! I like spicy foods, but I dialed back the red pepper flakes and hot sauce so my husband would try it. It was still a little too spicy for him, but I was a huge fan!!!! Also super delicious with the sliced avocado on top…yum! Can’t wait to eat it again for lunch today 🙂
Do I need to add any water? If so how much.
Nope
Do I need to add any water to it??
No
I made this yesterday and MY GOODNESS it’s amazing! Definitely a go-to from now on.
My husband and I are quite new to the paleo eating scene and recently bought ourselves a crockpot (or slow cooker as it’s called in the UK) especially to try this amazing looking recipe. We made it quite spicy as we’re a bit addicted to chillis and I have to say, it was absolutely fantastic! So tasty (especially with the avocado on top), so easy and so healthy. Thank you for sharing the recipe, we will be eating it now every week!
This is soooo tasty! I followed the recipe and am amazed at how delicious and reminiscent of posole it is. Two thumbs up.
This was such a simple and deliscious meal. It was definately packed with flavor and some heat.
I threw this in the crock pot about an hour ago, and I just looked at the recipe again and realized I only used one can of tomatoes rather than two. Do you think that matters? There seems to be enough liquid, but just making sure I shouldn’t try to add something else. Thanks! Can’t wait to see how this turns out!
It should be fine!
