I need to get my nails done. Like, bad.
Who thought up, ‘you know, I want John Travolta to play the mom in the movie Hairspray’? So strange. And uncomfortable.
So on Monday, I posted a lil’ picture on instagram of the food I was eating at my favorite restaurant Cuba Cuba with the special man in my life. I even tagged him in it. Only because his instagram is private and you have to request to follow him. So once I posted it, he got 16 follow requests. All from women that he didn’t know. HA! We are nosy sons of b*tches, aren’t we ladies? I know I sure am. I once stalked How Sweet It Is blog for an hour trying to find a picture of her husband that she always talked about. That’s weird. But thanks for creeping on my boyfriend. He’s real good lookin’, I promise you!
I wish I had a Trader Joe’s.
I’m in a slight depression that I have to wait the entire summer to see ‘Shameless’ again.
WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON WITH THIS SNOW!?!?!? This time last year, I was in a sun dress in the park, watching people play volleyball since I’m too uncoordinated to play along with them. I’d like to be doing that again. But no, instead I am heating my car up for 15 minutes since my ice scraper is broken. Then getting parking tickets because I’m too lazy to put my boots and snow jacket back on to fill the meter. I love to bathe in my own self pity on times. Obviously. The sun will be here soon and life will be lovely. With sundresses. LOTS of them.
Speaking of sundresses, I just bought four new ones. One from Victoria Secret and one from ModCloth. If shorts won’t fit me, at least sundresses will. And that’s what I will wear the entire summer. Not sure what I’m going to workout in, but it’s looking like naked is going to be my only option.
I want a cookie.

Recently I’ve tried beets, jicama, and bok choy all for the first time. I’ve never had a plantain so I need to try this recipe 🙂
This looks yummy! Speaking of cold…last night the weather was 38 degrees. I pulled the garden hose out of my pool when it was through filling up (just had a new liner installed), brought in my hibiscus and lavender plants so they wouldn’t freeze and die in the night, and made a gigantic pot of chili. The only thing I should have been doing at the end of April is filling my pool! This weather is ridiculous. On the upside…75 and 80 degrees here this weekend. I fully plan on coming to work with a little color on Monday 🙂
I just tried my first plantain over the weekend while trying to make your plantain pancakes. I recently discovered through allergy testing that I have a ton of food allergies and can no longer have eggs. Alas, the pancakes did not turn out using the egg substitute… but I still ate every last bit of that DELICIOUS batter! It reminded me of my (pre-paleo) beloved oatmeal or hot cereal when warmed up. You have officially made me a fellow plantain lover. I also adore mustard so I cannot wait to give this recipe a try. I am thinking about adding some jalepenos for a little extra spice! Thank you for all of the fabulous recipes and humor you provide for us! I have yet to make something from here that I didn’t love!!! 🙂
i wore sundresses for an entire summer and they were the most comfortable attire i could’ve chosen! easy on, easy off, and breezy!
hang in there, the snow will melt and sun will shine in the second sunniest state in the union.
the photography is really beautiful on this post!! way to go!
Apparently there is a topless 5k in Littleton this fall. At a nudist colony…so working out naked might be okay…at said nudist colony. Weird.
Reading your blog makes my day. Thanks for the wonderful entertainment.
True about the snow (I’m in Ft Collins) but then I think of last summer with all of the fires and how my allergies and asthma went insane … I’ll take the snow if it keeps the fires away! Soon enough it will be time for sundresses 🙂
You just made my day with this recipe!
I just cooked this for myself and I must say, Juli, you’re amazing!!!! This is the first recipe I’m trying from the blog, and the first ofical Paleo meal I’ve had.
I’m gonna cook this again for my family, hahaha.
It didn’t look as pretty, though, or else i’d send you a picture.
Thank you for this! 🙂
Just made this recipe everything tasted great but I would almost double the chicken or cut the mustard in 1/2. It was a bit overpowering for our taste. But the plantains were amazing!
