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.

Just made this…bomb.com loved it
Wow, this looks so good!!! And the last(and only) time I had plantains was in a mission trip to the Dominican Republic. I loved how they cooked them. Anyway, thanks so much for the recipe. My mom and step-dad are Paleo, and thus I am too. The thing is, is that they are perfectly satisfied with green beans/asparagus and cubed beef/lamb every single day. I need a little variety in my life… so thank you for having this blog. I’m going to start making dinner from now on. 🙂
I love anything to do with plantains (having lived in West Africa)…on next week’s menu for sure! Just made your turkey artichoke meatballs again tonight and they were epic! If you need a cookie, check out whatrunslori.com – her Fudgey Paleo Cookies are off the hook. And nut free! And super fast &easy. 🙂 add in some chopped up super dark chocolate & they’re even better!
I made this last night. To make things easy, I just bought a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. The change I made to the recipe was to take some of the chicken skin and chop it up and add it in while the garlic and plantains were cooking. It crisped up and became like little chicarones and add so much flavor!
I die a little inside when Shameless ends for a season. At least a 1/2 season of Breaking Bad is coming up.
This recipe looks awesome – love plantains and can’t wait to try them this way. Plantain chips from TJ’s got me through a few weeks of pregnancy when I couldn’t hardly eat.
I think we’re all creepers! I totally noticed your instagram and clicked on your man’s handle too! But I did NOT request him. 😉
I bet he’s a looker – I mean to snag you, he has to be!
Ok confession time.. I did try and check your man out on Instagram;( I am very nosey. This recipe looks Yummo. This maybe a good lunch to take to the beach this summer. I sooo need to get sun dresses for this summer.. They would be perfect for Southern California.
Juli you rock and make my BFF and I laugh all the time
I tryed this recipe lastnight…and it was AMAZING!! Very fresh and tasty. Thank You =)
This is happening. Real soon. Yum!!!!
Enjoy that Trader Joes! I’m a Trader Hoe (Intentional) employee Southern California and I’m guilty of wanting to transfer to one of the new ones popping up in Colorado.
Anyway, this looks good. I shall make and I shall eat.
