So the other night, when Laura, Sergio, and I went to club it up, I had this lotion that I put on because I thought it smelled awesome. Like for reals good. It’s that kind of lotion you put on and instantly feel more attractive because you’re oozing smells of lust. That’s how I would explain it at least. So I squeezed on some of the lotion and instantly asked Sergio to tell me how good I smelled….he said I smelled like a stripper. WINNING. Not really.

Speaking of things that smell….my friend Jake got his stolen car back a couple days ago…I don’t think it smells ok in there. Wanna know why? This is why, please read Jake’s facebook status:

“well…3 weeks later, they found my truck. on top of that they got the guys who did it, along with 5 back packs full of meth, 2 hatchets, 1 sword, a bunch of stolen goods….and gay porn and lube.”

You can imagine what the comments were like to that status. I couldn’t stop laughing. It’s not that funny, it’s actually REALLY scary, but still. It’s kinda funny. He’s getting a new truck. They had to clean needles out of it. That’s even more scary. And not funny. Sorry Jake. I’m a bad friend.

I’ve come to a decision about something. Recently, I tried to back off the coffee and start drinking some tea. I don’t know why. I do dumb sh*t like this. I like caffeine. Like a lot. And I like the taste of coffee. Tea taste like dirty water. Seriously. Don’t write me telling me about tea that tastes good because the only tea that gets me going is tea that is filled with 1/3 cup of honey. So really, sugar water is what gets me going.  I’m easy to shop for.

    I’m on duty at the fire house and it’s my cook day! Decided to make this dish for the crew tonight and is brewing in the crockpot as I type…
    I will let you know how this turns out! I’m determined to turn everyone here in to a paleo 🙂 in fact my nickname is Paleo!

    this was super easy and REALLY good. thanks for the recipe!

    I need to stop coming here to look for recipes! I end up getting sidetracked reading your hilarious blogs and an hour later my kid is like…”Ma, dinner…is it gonna be tonight?”

    But, alas, these recipes are so good, I HAVE to come here for ideas… Thanks. But really, thanks!

    I don’t think I’ve ever returned for seconds. Paleo or not. I had seconds alright… wouldn’t had thirds and fourths if my stomach could fit it. Absolutly AMAZING – I pretty much never need to go to Chipotle again! I can make my own damn paleo burrito bowls!






  5. Nicole says:

    This was great…and ridiculously easy to make! I added a little organic corn (I’m not totally paleo, just can’t eat a lot of stuff, plus my husband really wanted it) and an extra pepper, I think it would have still been great without it. Thanks!

    I made this last night in the crockpot while my boyfriend and I slept (I dont recommend doing this!) We woke up all night smelling it and couldnt sleep! Haha. It smells and looks amazing!!! Cant wait to eat it tonight for dinner!

    Made this last night for some friends (we’re finishing up the Whole30 challenge). Tasted great! The only added step I would add in future is to salt the chicken breasts and sear them in a skillet prior to putting them in the crock pot; also I only let it cook (on high) for 4 hours. The chicken came to temp beautifully in that time-frame.

    since I’m doing all the cooking for my wedding on the 21st (low key, laid back, on the beach) and I need a chicken dish and a friend has made this for me before…. I know what my chicken dish will be!

    Holy Smokes this was awesome. I used fresh Anaheims and Jalapenos from my garden instead of the canned. The flavor was incredible. A bit spicy for my husband and 13 year old son, but they ate it anyway because it was so flavorful. Although my 8 year old daughter and I could totally handle it I toned it down a bit the next week when I made it for friends who came over for dinner. Yes, I made it back to back weeks… don’t judge. 🙂

    This was so easy to make and smelled delicious! It was a little spicy for me! I should have known since I doubled the recipe and dumped 2 cans of jalapenos in there! I will def make it again and tone it down a bit! Thank you! So glad I found your site and excited you’re a neighbor! (I’m in Lakewood). 🙂
