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 don’t have any coconut oil and was wondering if I can leave this out, or if you have an idea of something I could substitute? Does it really effect the flavour? Thanks!

    1. juli says:

      Any other kind of fat like olive oil would work!

      1. lvbohme says:

        Great, thanks! I’ll try it with olive oil!

    I had my husband put this together in the crockpot and he accidently used fire roasted diced tomatos instead of diced. Yummy! This has become my favorite recipe! Thanks for all the amazing recipes and the laughs!

    BTW – super yum, and just as easy for anyone who wants to purchase the less expensive chicken on the bone; you just have to fish the bones out since the meat has fallen off! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

    1. juli says:

      thanks for the tip Veronica!

  8. Mary Beth says:

    Delicious!! This is the third time we’ve made this in the month… the whole family likes it! And, Ro-tel makes a tomato sauce that is just a little spicy and yummy. Thanks for sharing!!






    1. juli says:

      The third time? Thats freaking awesome!! Glad you like it!

  9. Andrew says:

    Bowl of awesomeness for lunch? Yes, please! This is the second time my wife and I have made this recipe… It gets even awesomer if you stir an ENTIRE diced avocado into each bowl.

    In summary, this recipe is awesome. I haven’t made anything from your site that doesn’t deserve 5-stars. Thank you.

      Thanks so much Andrew!!!

    Made this dish last night and it was great! I made a few adjustments by cutting all ingredients in half except for the chicken and made more of an enchilada shredded chicken instead of a stew. Enjoyed it with some cilantro/lime “rice” and a little guacamole. Highly recommend this recipe.
