Ughhhhh. Dude. I had this awesome dessert planned for you that I’ve totally made in the past but had to retest. I’m either doing something wrong OR my oven isn’t the temperature it says it is because the recipe failed TWICE. I’m pouting over here. Only child style. So instead of some special dessert bars, I made you guys a quick snack that is super easy! But I’ll figure that dessert out, don’t you worry! Urrrrrg. I’m so mad. Shame on you, Juli, get it together.
Speaking of shame, have you hated Facebook as much as I have lately? I had to stop looking at it. I’m absolutely over hearing people’s opinions about Bruce Jenner’s transition into Caitlyn Jenner. Well wait, I don’t mind seeing the positive responses because positivity is the best, but the negative ones…those people suck. Sure, everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but hating on someone on your Facebook status, whose experiences you know nothing about and cannot connect with in any way…you’re a straight up bad person. Can you imagine not feeling comfortable with who you are your entire life? Probably not. But if you did, wouldn’t you do something about it? I know I sure as hell would. It’s just so disappointing seeing people be so mean about something they know nothing about. I guess ignorance is bliss. I just wish those people had mother’s that taught them, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Because honey, you’re the worst.
Ok, I’m off my soap box. You go girl!
You guys. Our yard is getting completely torn up right now to install a sprinkler system AND remove a random sidewalk in the back that led to no where. Since our house was built back in the day, the sidewalk used to lead to an incinerator. That creeps me out. I watch too many murder mystery shows. So now that it’s removed and there’s about 3,000 pounds of pummeled cement in our front yard, we look straight up trashy right now. We’re thoooose neighbors. Thankfully, I keep introducing myself to all the neighbors and in hopes that they like me. One of the most adorable ladies on the block asked if she could help me garden. SAY WHA?! I literally have no idea how to garden. All everyone does in Colorado is plant fruits and veggies like little farmers. Seriously, EVERYONE gardens. I don’t know when it became the hip thing but I am obviously not hip. How are you suppose to remember to water everyday?! I have a dog I have to water!
Ahhhhhhh. I just want to see Amy Schumer’s new movie NOW.

I’m such a sweet snacker-these sound awesome! I do not think I’ve ever bought macadamia nuts either!
ha! my husband and I just moved to Denver and have noticed two things: 1) everyone grows veggies and 2) everyone has a dog! seriously, compared to Seattle this is dog mania!!
Amen on the positivity > negativity on FB. Preach!
OMG!! I decided I needed these like RIGHT NOW because this recipe is basically all my favorite things. Chai and maple? I’m dead.
I had some hazelnuts I’d been hoarding forever, so I grabbed those since I didn’t have macadamia. I also used turbinado sugar instead of maple, but…same difference, kinda? #notpaleo #sinner Oh AND I used my toaster because my real oven sucks and I’m impatient. Anyway, despite me kind of bastardizing your recipe, they turned out amazing. Probably going to polish off the whole bowl right now. Thanks Juli!!
P.S. I made your blueberry muffin recipe from a couple years ago last night too. Also the bomb. Apparently it’s paleomg week up in here.
These sound awesome! And I am in awe about Bruce-Caitlyn Jenner. I am so happy that she seems finally happy. I just can’t imagine being one sex on the outside but feeling another on the inside. I just can’t imagine! And for 65 years! I wish her all the best!
This sounds delicious!
and amen on the Caitlyn Brenner hating… whether you agree or not, you can still be accepting of someone else.
That looks like a sweet treat.

Love the look of this, must taste amazing. Let’s see if I can get hold of Maple syrup here in Serbia and I will try it out definitely!
I know what I am doing this weekend. Making macadamia nuts and not gardening!
These look amazing. And I second your call for more positivity! Facebook seems to bring out the worst in some people. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. How hard is that?
Oooh, this is soooo up my alley. Maybe a dumb question, but did you use roasted or raw macadamia nuts? Would it make a difference either way?
raw would be better since you’re roasting them in the oven
