My stomach is screwed up. Consuming beef sticks and trail mix all day Wednesday and all day Saturday did not make my stomach happy. I just need to not purchase nuts when I’m traveling. I eat them, they don’t fill me up, so then I eat more. Then I just get fat. Stupid.
I traveled to Boston last week. Sad to say I didn’t get to see a ton of Boston. We landed. Went to Whole Foods to get the food I would be cooking that week, then went to the house we were going to film at. So I saw Boston for a good 6.2 minutes. But I did get to go to the AgainFaster office and meet some awesome people, so I can’t complain. All in all, it was a good trip. I filmed 7 cooking videos, learned a butt load from a professional chef AND crossfitter named Bryce, then got to read The Hunger Games while I flew all over the place. LIKE!
Turns out, I don’t really know what I’m doing in the kitchen. Well, you already knew that, but being next to a professional chef makes me even more incompetent. I burnt garlic for gosh sakes. This man, Chef Bryce, went to culinary school and has worked all over in the food industry. I, on the other hand, am excited if I don’t cut half of my finger off every time I’m cooking. He even taught me how to properly cut an onion! How exciting! I did half way fall in love with him when he made a chocolate coconut macadamia nut brittle. It was pretty similar to my Chocolate Coconut Bark but with much more expensive chocolate. Oh he fancy huh?!
So, here’s the thing. If you go back to some of my first recipes, from back in the day, before I was an actual website, and before I talked incessantly about myself and my life, you will find some delicious recipes. The problem is, back then I was working from 4am-9pm, not coming home in between and only was able to take picture in the dark. So my food looks like dog doo doo. And people tend to not flock towards those meals. So vain. Such a shame. So I’m bringing them back. Like a blast from the past. But in food form. So check out the first time I made Mushroom Gravy Slow Cooked Rump Roast and see with your own eyes how gorgeous my pictures were back in the day!

Wow, what a difference in the pictures. These new pictures look really good. Did you get a new camera? 😉 Anyway, can’t wait to try this recipe, gotta love anything you can make in your crock pot.
No new camear, just trying to be better with taking pictures lol. Hope you like it!
Don’t lose sight of the fact that your followers don’t relate to the professionally trained chef nearly as well as they relate to your down to earth cooking skills and presentation. Keep rocking your recipes and learning!! You do great work!
thank you so much Michelle! learning something new everyday!
I totally agree with Michelle. I’m never scared to cook your food because it’s not pretentious and it’s written like we’re having a conversation. If you go pro with your cooking, it wouldn’t be nearly as awesome! And expensive chocate, huh? I don’t know, Enjoy Life is about as good ad chocolate gets 😀
thanks so so much Stephanie, that means a lot to me 🙂 enjoy life is just so stupid good. i ate an entire bag last weekend. thats what happens when you act like you don’t like it for 5 weeks. dumb.
Love your blog! Have tried many recipes and bring in the food to share with my fellow CF peeps doing Paleo. I love to bake and prior to the switch to Paleo I was an avid cookie/pie/cake baker which I thought was going to end. But you have saved the day with many sweet treats which replace my former favorites! Thanks for sharing all your recipes!
Anyway, I happened upon the item (via link below) and immediately thought of you. Cheers! //m.e

omgomgomg…i LOVE them!!!! ur awesome!
Crockpot meals make life SO much easier! You rock!
so so easy!!
I actually made this 2 weeks ago. I was searching your ingredient lists to match up with what I had at home and found this. Great recipe!
It definitely is, it just need a facial lift 😉
sounds like an awesome weekend and a great learning opportunity. I dont think your blog would nearly as entertaining or the same with a professional touch to it though, and I mean that in the greatest way.
Lol i’m definitely a bit more serious in those videos than my own. gotta represent their company well.
I have been going through some of your old recipes, and I have two on the menu for this week. That makes 3 of the 6 dinners I plan to cook from your website, along with a breakfast and a treat or two. You are slowly taking over my kitchen!
That’s freaking awesome Rachel!! You rock!
Love the throwback idear, I will totes be making this. Speaking of idears…I had an awesome one. Ok, so what if your readers could request or vote on the songs you would be dancing to in your cooking videos?!?! How amazing would that be?! Like for example, I personally think it would be awesome to see you break it down to Stronger by Kelly Clarkson as a shout out to all the single ladies (all the single ladies!) out there…and I bet I’m not the only one. Think about it!
I.LOVE.THIS.IDEA! Like seriously. Totally using it. Going to ask people on facebook next time i’m planning a video!
