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.

You did it again! Simple, gourmet and incredibly delicious! My husband and I very much enjoyed this fabulous dish. Thank you!!!
Glad you liked it Laurie!
You know what I did? I made this. But instead of chicken boob I used chicken legs with the skin on. And instead of baking it in the oven, I threw all of it into the crockpot on low for 8 hours. And I added some Bragg’s Liquid Aminos. And then I shredded it all off the bone.
And you know what happened after that? It tasted delicious.
Nom nom nom nom nom
I just adore your brain Tyler. Can u, me and Les have a triple date soon? K great. Can’t wait.
Yes, yes we can. Duh!
I made this last night and it was delicious and so easy! I discovered that I’d run out of Balsamic vinegar so I substituted red wine vinegar and it was still awesome, I will be making this again! Thanks!
You are so friggen amazing. If you need a dish to make a man fall in love with you – THIS is the recipe!!! My boyfriend was home late from work (he usually does the cooking), so I scoured your recipes for something. Came across this. We LOVE dates. And rosemary. And we have too much chicken in the fridge. And Brian loved it. He told me it is amazing and he wants it again!!!!
Yeah! You made a terrible cook into an amazing cook. THANK YOUUUUUU
My phone wouldn’t let me rate the recipe. Had to do it this AM. I also used red wine vinegar in substitute for balsamic. The chicken was sitll amazingly delicious.
Making this tonight for dinner! And I live by myself so I get all the leftovers! Thanks
I am making this for dinner again, Juli. 😉
Would this be good with chopped up bacon on it too, or would that be overkill?
I’m making this right now!
Just made this tonight and LOVE it! So easy to make, although my ‘sauce’ looks much more watery than yours. Maybe I used too much of one of the liquids. Either way, I had to hold myself back from eating all 4 pieces. (And expect recipe reviews from a ton more of your recipes. When I find a site I like, I tend to stick to it…for AWHILE)
