I played kickball the other night. Double header. Brian explained to me that double header means two games. So thoughtful. Always looking out for me and my child-like understanding of sports. We lost our first game. But we only had 8 players. Then, out of nowhere, we brought it back and won our second game. I did nothing for either of those games. I’m going to start practicing ball sports. Especially since my leg is bruised. What the f*ck. How am I so uncoordinated? Goal for 2013: become a real athlete. Meaning kickball player.
This recipe is one from way back when. And I didn’t actually even create it. I’m such a fake. This recipe is from Stacey from Stacey’s Paleo Kitchen. I have no idea who Stacey is but I use to get recipe inspiration from her blog when I first started eating paleo. Thanks Stacey, whoever you are, you’re awesome. And I like your pictures way better than mine. I took these pictures while I was trying to blow up an air mattress for my friend Sam. Multitasking is sometimes frustrating.
My face is still peeling off. It is NOT attractive. It just won’t peel away. Not only did my chemical peel burn like a b*tch, but now I have to be reminded of it every day in the mirror. WTF. Please peel away face. Then maybe I can have a bit more confidence. I need all the confidence I can get for Regionals this weekend.
Holy poop. Regionals starts tomorrow. OMG OMG. I’m going to be so stupid nervous. Like what?! It’s here?!? I get to cheer on Jason, as well as our team including Jake, Jon, Sergio, Katie Mac, Meghan, and Kara, all from our lovely home, CrossFit Broadway. That’s a lot of nervous butterflies. That’s a lot of going to the bathroom.

Take no prisoners Girl !!!
Good luck at Regionals! I’m sure you won’t shit your pants 😉
Love these! I just made them and my kids were eating it from the bowl. Good Sign. Thanks for all your great recipes.
Hey, I discovered your blog yesterday!! I read your March 16th blog…I thought I was the only girl to use the saying, “holy balls.” I love it! I will now forever read your blog 🙂
wait…i didn’t know we could have maple syrup? ohhh goodness. i gotta find a paleo pancake recipe now. those peels do hurt like a b word! fingers crossed this morning you woke up less scaley.
Hey Juli.. I can’t do almonds.. Can i use chopped up fresh dates instead of almond butter? It creates an adhesive-like-ness. I was thinking I would make the dates the way I would for George’s Holidy Lara Bars… What do you think?
PS, love the double-layer fudge recipe. WOAH
Yummy! Took these to work last night! Delicious!
I just finished the last of a batch of these last night – and I must say, I have to make another batch ASAP! lol! Thank you for this recipe of delectable goodness! Definitely one of my faves!
Oh, thought I would mention – I added a little sprinkling of sea salt to each cookie before I put them in the fridge – it was a perfect combination of sweet/salty. 🙂
Any idea how to make this w/o the syrup? Doing the Whole Life Challenge right now and can’t have that. Thanks!!
SO RAD!!! Just made these tonight to get back at my wife for making vegan, non-paleo chocolate chip cookies earlier this week.
I mixed in chopped walnuts instead of sliced almonds and placed a whole smoked (unsalted) almond on top. I’m nuts like that. Now I just need to figure out how to hide them from my wife and kids.
