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 do not cook. But, I saw this the day you posted it and was intrigued by the ingredients and simplicity. This weekend, I finally picked up the couple of ingredients I didn’t have, switched out the cayenne pepper for chipotle (I LOVE chipotle) and used about 3/4 lbs chicken rather than 1/2… and am in love!!! It was soooo good!!

Delicious! Thank you for yet another interesting way to eat chicken!
Holy wow. This is the perfect combo of spicy, sweet, crunchy and soft. Delish! I’m doubling the recipe next time. Nom nom nom
This is even better than chicken tenders dipped in honey mustard – and that is saying a lot! Love it – thank you!
Holy cow this is great! I added bacon to it. Just because I am a bacon addict….soo yummy! Thanks Juli its awesome!
One of my favorite recipes so far! I love the crunchiness of the chicken and the kick of the mustard. First time I ever ate a plantain. Your recipes are so interesting and different. Keep them coming!
Awesome!! I love plantains and was super happy to find this recipe. Since I’m in the middle of an auto-immune protocol, I skipped the cayenne pepper and threw in some cumin instead. Delicious!!
This is like a party in my mouth! It’s super easy and delicious. I do make enough to have leftovers for lunch the next day. I think they hold up pretty well–not soggy, but not cruchy either. I deal!
I keep commenting on the recipes you share that I have made and every single one is awesome. I must express how much I love them! For me, I would maybe use 3 TBSP of mustard because it overpowered the other ingredients. And maybe add cashews. Thanks again!
