Na, these aren’t made from lions. I wish. I wonder what lion tastes like. OMG I’m kidding all you endangered species advocates. I won’t eat a lion. Unless I go somewhere that I can. Just being honest. These are pretty much asian meatballs. Just go with it.

I bought jeans this past week. Yep, I did it. I don’t know how I feel about them. They are a bit high in the waist. I think that look is in. I think that because Sergio said it. Yep, HE said it. I’m just not very hip. And my ass is huge so making it look longer is a terrible idea. Straight up, terrible. So I ended up wearing them in California and decided I kind of hate them. Probably because they are jeans. And make me look like a rhino. F*ckin rhinos. I’m going to find jeans though. Yes I am. Next time I’m going to spend 4 hours there instead of 2. YOUARESTUPIDJEANS.IHATEYOU.

I ate 1 too many caramel bars today. Being honest. Again. And yes, I will be posting the recipe. Stop freakin.

Ah f*ck. I just remembered something…I joined a kickball league. Yeah. I joined a league that is a ball sport. That was a dumb idea. My friend Tommy talked me into it. Really, I’m just hoping there are hot guys in it. There probably won’t be. No single ones at least. That’s probably better though. I am going to fully embarrass myself trying to kick a ball. I will most likely miss the ball, full on fall onto my ass. then maybe pee myself. I’ve been known to do that. That’s gonna get me a guy. A girl with bigger shoulders than a dude, with wet pants, and a car that smells like dirty children aka spoiled milk. Yep, I’ll catch myself a real winner soon.

I want to write a cookbook. But I don’t know where to start. Or what to do. How cool would that be though?! So cool.

    I’ve been lurking for a while but I want to chime in because nothing makes a girl feel worse than unsuccessful jeans shopping. Go find some mid-rise, soft, stretchy (Paige Premium Denim also makes some sooooper stretchy softies) denim with good back pocket placement (i.e. to highlight the cheeks rather than enlarge/flatten). Worst case scenario- size up to fit your a-mazing lower half, and get the waist tailored to fit your wee little abs of steel. A lot of work? Kind of. I promise it’s worth it when you find jeans that make your butt look as great as lulus*.

    *Fine, nothing makes an ass like lulu does, but you can get close with some patience and effort.

    Also, your smokey bacon chili convinced my fiance to do a paleo challenge with me in January and he lost 15 lbs and learned to enjoy vegetables. I lost 4 of course. Dudes are such metabolic a-holes. Joining crossfit is next on the to-do list.

    Hahah That sounds like something I would do! –Joining any sort of ‘team’ in hopes of meeting single available guys! LOL Except I’d sweat so much– they’d think there was something wrong with me!

    LOVE reading your posts! Can’t wait for the cookbook = )

      Thanks Katrina! Hopefully soon!

    I NEED you to write a cookbook.

    Amy sister locked me into a change room and threw stuff in for me to try.
    I made the mistake of trying on a pair of SKINNY RED JEANS. I don’t know what’s more amazing, the amount of spandex in those jeans to make them fit over my mondo quads or the fact that I even tried them on or the minor miracle that I didn’t throttle my sister for subjecting me to such fashion torture.

    I ended up buying more workout gear 😛

    1. juli says:

      Ughhh I fear colored skinny jeans! I always end up buying workout clothes too. comfort zone

    Please write a cookbook!

    1. juli says:

      Hopefully soon Nicole!

    You totally need to write a cookbook!!!! I’ve been loving your recipes for awhile now and they are far better than ones I’ve seen in lots of other cookbooks, so I know it would be successful!

    Plus you’re hilarious and people these days are buying cookbooks for so much more than the recipes.

    AND, I agree with Rob…videos would be amazing!

    1. juli says:

      Thanks Kristin!! Someday, someday!!

  6. Cathy says:

    I am not sure what I like best the recipes or your comments before the recipes. This one made me laugh after a very stressful day, so thanks a bunch for putting a smile on my face before going to bed, hopefully I will have sweet dreams (of caramel bars).

    Get rid of the high waisted jeans, you are young & fit, and don’t need to be wearing old lady jeans!

    Love your recipes and definitely think you should write a cookbook!

    1. juli says:

      Lol thanks Cathy! I’ll get rid of the jeans, in sadness of wasting money.

  7. kim says:

    define high waisted. all the peeps on here have said to dump your high waisted jeans.. are we talking to the armpit high? belly button high? or are they just medium rise so when you bend over your not a plumber? i HATE the plumber. i wear mid rise jeans all the time so when im riding the motorcycle i dont show everyone the crack. how nice of me. try Levis. reasonably priced. i have a giant booty (which i am proud of) and they fit me lovely. good luck!

    1. juli says:

      Agreed Kim! That’s where I bought my jeans but they just weren’t the right fit, definitely going to go back though!

  8. Stephanie Marin says:

    Do work. Write the book. I’ll buy it and then buy extra copies to give as gifts at christmas time, I will give them to the “not so in shape” people I work with who always give me shit about how i eat.

    Spanks 🙂

    1. juli says:

      Hopefully soon! Working on it!

  9. Jenn says:

    I made these meatballs tonight and they are amazing. This was the first recipe that I’ve tried of yours. If your other recipes are anything like this one then you owe it to the world to write a cookbook! Food this good MUST be shared! 😀

    1. juli says:

      Thanks so much Jenn!! Hopefully soon! Fingers crossed!
