So Laura and I went out the other night with a bunch of girls. A girls night, if you must. We needed to dance. You know, do the usual Friday night cliche act. Get hammered, dance like idiots, sometimes on bars, then stumble our way to a cab and hope we still have our credit card on hand. Well, none of that happened. I was the DD. And none of my friends are that much of a mess. That was a lie.
It was at least fun. I got to watch drunk people try to dance and try to creep. Never a bad thing to witness. Dudes trying to dance on girls is hilarious. Hip thrusting is never sexy. But I guess drunk b*tches don’t know the difference between dancing and humping. So hump on, drunk men and women. Hump on. You entertain me while sober at the bar.
I ended the night by leaving early and eating a couple almond butter stuffed dates. It was stupid delicious. That’s my kind of late night drunk eating. Minus the being drunk part.
I successfully finished a wod today with muscle ups, without even shedding a tear. NBD. No, it’s actually a big deal. As soon as Jason told me I would be doing a wod with muscle ups in it, my heart sank. Doing muscle ups is heart breaking to me. Legit heart breaking. It must have been my PaleOMG black tank that pushed me through the wod. Must have been. Did you know you can buy these sweet ass tanks?! YES YOU CAN!! Just click that link!
My tennis shoes smell so inappropriate.

Hi Julie, for the Date and Shallot Rosemary Chicken recipe, do you use skinless chicken?
Gretchen

Looks simple, delicious and yummy…gonna have to put it on my list of things to do this weekend! Already ordered my black tank…just anxiously awaiting its arrival so that I can be a badass in my WOD’s too! Yeah, that’s what it is… just lacking the black paleomg tank…once I get that, there’ll be no stopping me! 🙂 (should this actually work… you’ll definitely need to produce them in EVERY color!)
Every color would be EPIC!! Thanks so much for ordering a shirt Rebecca!
This looks amazing! I’ve been out of town this week so haven’t been able to cook. Loved the cooking video, and the dancing. That’s exactly what I do when I’m in the kitchen, my kids get excited and dance with me, it’s awesome.
Came home to my black tank, which arrived in the mail yesterday. One black, one white, I’m so LEGIT!!
Dance on JB, dance on!!
Thank you SO much for your support Natalie! You are freaking awesome!
Just got my Chameleon Cold Brew in the mail and had it with breakfast this morning – i love it! Thanks for the tip, your hilarious posts, and your great recipes!!!
Glad you like it!!!!
I’ve been roasting chicken thighs with dates and olives at least 6 times over the past 2 weeks! How awesome are the dates are being baked?! So sticky and caramelized. Now baking them and dipping them in almond butter would be my kind of 3am drunk snack.
Sh*t yeah it would be. I love date candy with chicken
Looks delicious. We needed a new chicken recipe! And yay for muscle ups you lil bad ass 🙂
You should definitely try this one Shara. And ummmmm I HAVE to do muscle ups if i’m going to keep up with you! Btw, miss seeing you guys. Hope you are feeling back to normal and ready to go for the open!
What Shara said – Muscle Ups are for total badasses. All of you ladies have me gazing with stars in my eyes. *My Hero* 🙂 YUM FOR CHICKEN WITH DATES! Dates agree with me much more than baked figs 😀 Can’t wait to try this recipe!!
I want to bake figs and dates together and eat them like candy
Making this today or tomorrow 🙂 thanks for teahing me how to cook! ps. I probably should name my blog danielle&juli (like juli&julia) lol. Unrelated, how long did it take you to get muscle ups?? I am not even close!
Lol I need to start reading your blog more Danielle. AND we need to start cooking together. We are kind of the same person. Remember when we had spanish class together lol? Hilarious. I got my first muscle up probably 2 or 3 months into CrossFit but I started practicing almost right away and tried every day…failed every day…and still tend to fail nowadays as well. Eff those bitches
lol remember when I told you triste meant thirsty and Sr. Yanz almost didn’t let you go get a drink of water? hahaha, that man did not like me! I want to be you. I almost got one today!!! I got my weight forward for the first time. Yayyy!!! And it’s okay… my blog is not nearly as comical as yours. I am working on it haha.
That’s freaking awesome Danielle!! I’ll come to golden soon and wod with you! It’s always helpful to get a girls perspective on muscle ups compared to a guys. My amazing friend Jaelyn has helped me literally just by being an inspirational female. No joke
Seriously, why did I just discover your blog now…I have so much cooking to do to catch up since every single one of your recipes looks amazing, I’m making this one next week for sure!
Lol catch up Lauren!! Thanks for checking out my blog!
Hi Juli! I just discovred your blog about two weeks ago and I love it! I always look forward to your posts. I’ve printed a ton of your recipes and can’t wait to try them. As a mom of 3, married, with a hugely stressful job, I am looking for any tips, tricks, etc. on preparation. I’d love to get your perspective! Thanks so much!
Well hopefully more of my recipes can help! My recipes are all pretty easy to make because I have a very short attention span. I’ll try to mention more helpful prep tips in the future!
