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.

I just made this for dinner (eating it as I type) and it’s AMAZING. I think this is my favorite recipe of yours so far. Great flavor & crunch. Tossed in a handful of cashews too…delicious! Thank you!
Seriously amazing! Added hot sauce and cashews, nom nom nom!
Lol love your blog you are so funny
Not a fan of the red onion, they hurt my nose. How do you think Vidalia onions would be as a substitute?
that would be fine i bet
This recipe looks great. If I made this ahead for a party, would the plantains get soggy?
they might, mine didn’t last long enough to know though…
I made this the other day and it was awesome that day, but a day or two after everything got soggy. Try cooking and chopping everything the day before and mixing together right before you go. I do that a lot with salads like this.
This recipe sounds absolutely delish! Can’t wait to try it! Pinning this one!
I live in Northeastern Japan…can’t find plantains anywhere…are there any good suggestions about other options…I know you told someone else sweet potatoes but Japanese sweet potatoes are sort of weird. Super dry.
I made this for myself, who is amateurish in her paleo-enlightenment, as well as my husband, who is all things mockery of paleo enlightenment. (I love him anyway, little does he know how much he eats is paleo because ***I*** control the groceries! Muuwwaahaahaa!) Anyway, I wanted to write about how it WAS instead of how good it looks, and that I want to try it…like most reviews! I followed it nearly to the letter, just increasing the spices and adding cilantro and cumin because spicy is delicious-y. So good! The sweetness of the plantain goes to well with the spice of the chicken. Can’t have too much plantain, my opinion only. As I’m a mustard fan, I doubled the sauce. Crunch vs. soft was also a good combo… Your taste buds won’t be bored. Very flavorful, almost too easy to prep, I could good this in bulk and pop it onto some lettuce daily and be happy. Bravo!!
Awesome! Easy, fast, delicious! Thank you so much!
I made this yesterday afternoon for my husband and I’s lunch today. It took all my strength to not stand and eat it right then and there. A great twist on the ol “chicken salad”. I think this might be a new staple. I’m SO excited for lunch today. Also visiting a friend Thursday who just had twins. I think I’ll whip up a batch for her too! Thanks for being so inspiring!
