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.

Nice work on the pic! Is that a linen napkin I see? I have yet to see one of those on your site…..tee heee. Keep up the good work.
Love your blog! I don’t eat meat, but I do seafood. Do you think shrimp could be a good sub for the chicken? Or some other sea creature?
surely!
Hooooooly shiz this is delicious. It tastes like mcdonnalds chicken nuggets and fries dipped in honey mustard. I only used 1/4 red onion and it’s kickin.
I can die happy.
Great job on your pictures, I remember you mentioning a professional food pornographerist(I just made that up) you got tips from!! This looks absolutely YUMMY!
This was the most delicious thing ever. Juli- I am obsessed with your blog, and it makes it so easy to eat paleo. I kind of wish I were you because you’re a bad ass 🙂
Subbed in sweet potatoes and English cucumbers vs. celery & plantains…holy awesome!
Just made this recipe today, so yummy!
Picture it – I had to get a temporary crown put on this week, and the &$*@# thing fell off last night during happy hour. I had to go in this morning and get it put back on, so basically I hadn’t eaten in almost a day out of sheer terror. 🙂 Finally driven to the kitchen just now by my hunger pangs, I made this. HEAVEN IN A BOWL. Even if I could only chew on one half of my mouth. Thanks for another winner!!!
Dude. Dude, seriously? Best chicken salad I’ve had in forever. Never had plantains before, and they were BOMB in this. I added 1 shredded carrot and a handful of sunflower seeds. Fantasmical. My son had pneumonia at Christmas (went on for 2 weeks) and his little immune system took a beating (hasn’t been the same since!). My fiance and I have been primal for over a year now, but I was reluctant to make the switch for my kiddos, until now. Taking out all the allergins in my son’s diet, I’m trying to find recipes that are healthy, delish, and kid friendly and this def hit the spot. He gobbled it up – so know you’re making a difference not only in my life, but in my kids lives as well. Your recipes are bomb. Thanks for being awesome!
Made this tonight, pretty tasty. Never had plantain before, let alone cook it! Do you happen to have nutritional value on hour recipes? I’m trying to track. Thanks!
