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.

Would adding a can of black beans and frozen corn affect this recipe negatively? Do you know if I would add them at the very beginning of the cooking process or later?
nope, that would still be great! i’m sure you could put them in at the beginning!
I was disappointed by this recipe. It was all spice with no harmony to the flavors making it a fairly one dimensional dish. I think an earlier commenter was correct in suggesting that you indicate exactly which hot sauce you used as that could have been the reason for my lackluster results.
And yes, it’s was really spicy! I had to rinse the meat for it to be palatable for my kids (who are typically great with spicy dishes).
Whoa, this was delicious. If I were to make it for others (why would I do that, ha ha), I would probably scale back the spiciness. I left out the cayenne b/c I didn’t have any and it still has a pretty solid warmth. Also, I’m a big sub-er in recipes so I think next time I’ll tinker by adding an chipotle pepper or two. I think it could be transformative. But as is, I love the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Oh, and if anyone is as impatient as me, if the pork isn’t fork-tearing apart, it’s not done. I was hungry plus my cold house was making it hard for my crockpot so I cranked it up to high for an hour and I was set!
bring on the spice! can’t wait to try this! my daughter and I are big on spicy foods!
Sounds good ,other then the type of hot sauce. Don’t like that vinegar taste. Going to follow it but might do a table spoon siracha instead
extremely easy to make. tastes out of this world delicious. makes plenty and freezes well. spicy spicy spicy and i loved it.
I’m sitting here waiting for one of my muffins to cook (from your website) and now I’m checking out this pulled pork. Cant’ wait to try this.
So…I want to say thanks. I’ve been on Paleo about one year and loving it – your recipes have really helped me. Personal favorites are your meat-loafs!
This is ridic!!! Super good.
I modified the 2nd time I made it and substituted the hot sauce and fire roasted tomatoes with regular tomatoes, chilis and jalapenos.
Either way, its amazing with avocado and go primal on yourself and put pepperjack cheese on that baby!
It has become a weekly staple in my kitchen!
Your recipes and blog are great!!! 🙂
I wonder if you can do this in a pressure cooker and for how long? Electric and stovetop?
I’m sure you could but I haven’t tried
As I was throwing this recipe together in the crockpot I kept thinking could this be right? Seemed like a lot of spices on top of the hot sauce. I usually love spice and put red pepper flakes on almost everything but this was WAY too hot for my husband and I. We couldn’t finish. Im going to try to pick out the meat and use it with eggs to tone down the spice a bit. Are you sure all those spices are Tablespoons?? Keep up the great work though! I usually love everything you post and the Chicken Enchilada Stewe is a weekly staple for us.
