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 have this crockpot, and it’s about 30 years old. The thing keeps working!! after reading all these recipes, I’m afraid it’s going to stop working one day and I’ll be sad. How many crock pots do you own? Do you have several going at one time during the day?

    1. juli says:

      Haha I own only one

  2. Rochelle says:

    We have a dutch oven and two-in-one rice cooker/slow cooker that we haven’t used since going paleo, and only for rice. Should I use the dutch oven or attempt using the rice cooker as a crockpot for the first time?

    1. juli says:

      i have no clue how i rice cooker works, so i would say dutch oven.

      1. Rochelle says:

        It has a “slow cooker” option button but unlike crockpots no low/high settings. I’ll try the dutch oven, thanks! Any time/heat suggestions?

        1. Rochelle says:

          Success! Made it two nights ago in the dutch oven at 325* for 2 hours. My husband said it really tasted like enchiladas and that his leftovers for lunch yesterday was amazing; he usually isn’t a fan of chicken leftovers. Made your cilantro-lime cauli rice as well. Thanks for all your great recipes and amusing blog posts and videos!

    Would there be a practical way of replacing the tomatoes? Food allergies n’ whatnot..

    1. juli says:

      You could just remove them but it won’t have the same flavor

  6. Stacy says:

    Just made this today. If you can handle heat this is a good one. It definitely has some good heat. One question… Does this recipe freeze well?






    1. juli says:

    So, I make this recipe maybe twice a month. My husband and I are both engineers and we are super busy, so convenient! He fell in love with this recipe the first time I made it. It’s perfect because we have leftovers for lunch the next day as well. Thanks lady. This is awesome, for real.
