Oh my lawd, it’s already Wednesday. My life has been taken over with appointments and late night baseball games. No, I will not tell you which team I am cheering for. Mostly because I don’t cheer for teams, but also because sports teams make people say rude things. Like “I thought you were a great person until I found out you were a _______ fan.” Like, what? That’s probably one of the dumbest things you can say. Same reason I don’t talk about religion or politics on my website. You want someone to get real d*ck head opinionated on ya, talk about sports, Obama or the God you pray to. Not touching it. No way, no how. I have better things to talk about. Like puppies. And new restaurants.
Speaking of new restaurants, I’m trying out a few this week. You see, sometimes you get in a rut when it comes to creating recipes. Ok, wait, sometimes I get in a rut. I see other food bloggers who never run out of ideas and I just don’t get it. Because I get in random ruts all the time. And since I came up with around 66 recipes for my latest project in a little over two weeks, I need to find some inspiration. That’s where restaurants come into play. Denver is FULL with awesome restaurants. They are everywhere. Including Boulder. So I’m heading to Boulder today to try out a new paleo restaurant then trying another restaurant tomorrow in the Baker neighborhood. I’m guessing I’ll also be purchasing food somewhere on Halloween. I know that’s a lot of money to spend on food in a week, but I need ideas people. I need some help with flavor combinations or a meat that I haven’t tried cooking myself. Wish me luck.
I wish it could stay fall forever here in CO. Since I leave this weekend for Pittsburgh, I’m going to miss another week and a half here in CO. I just know that when I get back, there will probably be snow on the ground. Oh the sadness. I’m ok with snow, especially since we still live in an apartment so we don’t have to shovel, but I’m not really into the whole cold thing. That’s why I buy myself a new winter coat every year. It’s my way of developing a positive reinforcement about living in a snowy state. I don’t think reinforcement is the right word, but you get what I’m going for. A new coat or jacket makes winter worth it. And boots. Obviously. If you saw my instagram post about rearranging my closet, you know I have a brown boot obsession.
Ok, I can’t talk anymore, I have restaurants to eat at, baseball games to watch (meaning look at instagram 96% of the time), and political commercials to despise. Is it election day yet so those d*ck head commercials can end?? I swear, those commercials teach children to talk sh*t about each other. Crap, I started talking about politics, I gotta knock that sh*t off. Kbye!

This looks amazing! It’s just me and the hubs…will this last okay in the fridge Monday-Friday as we pick away at it?
It has for me!
Are you in PA this coming week? I’m in CO for work next week and wanted to drop in to CF Broadway and take one of your classes!
PS: Totally making some halloween treats this week for my halloween treat. Going to try to stay away from the packaged sweets! 🙂
I leave this Sunday for a week and a half out there
Does this reheat well? I love making a breakfast that I can heat up for the week. Also, I’m sorry you will be coming to Pittsburgh, because our forecast is calling for snow!
Yep!!
My grandma made her breakfast casserole a few weeks ago and as I was eating it (and chocolate gravy), I was trying to think of a paleo breakfast casserole recipe. Thank you for not forcing me to think any longer.
Rut? I see no rut. You’re doing a great job at keeping me fed.
Perfect! I was wondering what to cook and there it is. Already have the yams, all the other stuff can be done and assembled during commercials of said baseball game. I actually got to go to two games of the series, so exciting! I appreciate your neutrality, it inspires me to be better behaved. I love my team, but don’t want to be a d**k about it. Can’t wait to see your secret project! and Go Boots!
I made this today and it turned out really well! Thanks for an easy and delcious recipe!! Love you blog!
Heya Julie! My name is Tia! I am also a lover of food (went to cooking school) and have a “funky” groove to my basic dance steps 😉
I totally feel your lack of inspiration…I have Celiac and went Paleo (isn) 8 months agao and noticed drastic improvements in my athletic performance. I am trying to gain and bulk up a bit, which is hard when you have a naturally fast metabolism. I LOVE your blog and it has inspired me in so many ways so thank you!
I just made, tonight, the BEST meatloaf I have EVER tasted…and my mom’s is pretty famous 😉
Bacon wrapped, in the slow cooker, bison meatloaf….a few secret ingredients in there…paleo bombed it all the way and demolished the entire thing (1/2 lb…was going to save it to have for leftover tomorrow night…not so much now haha) and that was WITH roasted kabocha squash and zucchini noodles… Anyways, I though I could inspire and challenge you to create a bomb-digity slow cooker meatloaf….
Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Hiya Julie! My name is Tia. I am a food lover and have a “unique” groove when I dance (so I have been told…you can read into that as you please 😉 ) I went to cooking school and then had to change courses because I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I made the leap to following a Paleo (isn) diet and lifestyle about a year ago. I am trying to gain a bit and definitely add muscle. Your blog has inspired me in so many ways…for recipes, to workouts, and your beauty both inside and outside! I totally know your current lack of inspiration predicament..I cook for myself every day of the week, with maybe 1 night out per month (I am a student…limited budget).
I made tonight the BEST meatloaf I have ever tasted, and my mom’s is pretty famous for being AH-mazing. I paleo bombed it and made a bacon wrapped slow cooker bison meatloaf. just a small dude (1/2 lb) that I was going to have over two nights, as I made some roasted squash and zoodles to go along with it. well, that ain’t gonna happen…because I ate the whole thing, it was that good! So I challenge you, in the hopes to inspire you, to a meatloaf cook-off! Only thing I ask is that it is slow-cooker friendly and no poultry (makes my tummy hurt).
Can’t wait to see what you create and I hope you accept my challenge!
You got it!!
Yummy!! I just made this for dinner love it!! Thanks for recipe. Five starts for sure.
