I don’t want to cook. Obviously. It’s not that I don’t want to cook for my website, it’s that I don’t even want to cook for myself. Last week in California, I took cooking to the extreme. This week, I’d rather just stuff my face with burgers from Park Burger or shredded pork from Cuba Cuba. I don’t want to slice vegetables or think about different spices that would taste good in a certain meat, I just want feel full. I even drank two Suja juices the other day so I wouldn’t have to eat until dinner, which wasn’t that fun. Turns out, drinking your meals is really not quite as satisfying. Who knew? Oh that’s right, everyone.
But I did try yesterday. I tried to make something with pumpkin, but it failed. It failed big time. Like, I-can’t-even-salvage-this, big time. Shame. Pumpkin is so in right now. It’s so hip. I guess you will have to wait until next week for another pumpkin extravaganza. I just had to sound that word out. Wow. I think I’m tired today. Anywho, after that recipe sh*t the bed, I grabbed what I had in my fridge and I pulled from what I stole from Sergio’s breakfast that morning. He made some concoction of ground turkey, avocado, and tomatoes. So I pretty much copied him. So I can’t call this original or a recipe, really. Sorry about that. My b, my b.
I went to a baseball game the other night. And I didn’t hate it. Weird. Probably because I had a double vodka soda in me, but I actually had fun. I saw a bat break, which I’ve never seen in real life. And I saw some fly balls. And I saw some attractive people. Not the players, though. I don’t know why women get their panties in a twist over professional athletes. Probably because they are gold diggin’ hoes, but if you look real close at those athletes, most of the time they are not attractive. And they are around 4’8″. They just look attractive on the field. It’s like the field gives you drunk goggles or something. I know who is attractive though. Eric Decker. I don’t even know if that’s how you spell his name, but he and his crazy gorgeous wife are going to have a new reality show on E! which will give me another reason to waste an hour of my life on Sundays. Glorious.
So I’m officially obsessed with a certain kind of dog. I recently told you that I was thinking about getting one, but when I say that, that means in the next two years. When I have my own place, I’m not traveling, and I feel like taking care of another creature. Gotta get that only child selfish syndrome out of me while I’m young. So as I’ve thought through the millions of dogs I could fall in love with, I recently met a baby French bull dog. And I almost died. Love at first sight. And after researching them and looking at hashtags of french bull dogs on instagram, I’ve decided that’s what I want. Sometimes, when I’m bored, I look through the millions of pictures people post online and I save them to my phone to look at when I’m sad for 2.8 seconds during my day. Sad usually means I’m just bored. But man do those cute little faces make me smile. You know how you look at people’s dogs and just don’t get how they think they are cute…I get it now. My french bull dog is going to be freaking awesome. I can’t wait to meet him in 2-3 years.

I just discovered your website and I love it already! I have so many nights when I don’t want to cook and this looks so delicious and easy to make! I can’t wait to try this!
My friends have convinced me to give paleo a try. I am one of those people that works out like crazy (i am a member of camp gladiator if you’ve ever heard of it!) and eat fairly healthy but cannot lose weight! Then i read “Wheat Belly” and “It starts with Food”…now I know what my problem is! I haven’t gone cold turkey yet, but your blog has been incredibly helpful and convinced me that paleo isn’t just boring meat and veggies. Your recipes are fun and easy! Most of the ingredients I already have in my kitchen! So glad I came across your blog!
Great quick dish Juli! Tried it and liked it alot! I melted a little grass-fed cheese on top. Good call on the french bulldog, my wife and I are obsessed with english bulldogs, hoping to get one next year.
Check out the facebook page “my name is lentil.” Adorable french bulldog with a cleft palate. You’ll love his pics!
I love your recipes, they make me feel good about going paleo/primal – I do consume raw dairy. I’d love to help you out when you are ready for a dog. I am a professional dog trainer and a raw feeding advocate. I am in Upstate New York but I actually know of someone with a beautiful french bulldog. She is showing him and will be breeding in a year or so. When you get a good one they are great but when you don’t do the proper research or get duped by a breeder or pet store it can be disastrous. Keep the recipes coming. Ever consider an apple pie? I know you have stuff similar but we just went apple picking and I miss apple pie I used to make with my sister which I can no longer do since I won’t use regular flour. Just a thought :o)
I made this over the weekend and man was it tasty! So simple and yet so delicious! Thanks for sharing!
I used Tessemae’s Wing Sauce instead of hot sauce= AWESOME!!!! Thanks for the recipe!!
Thank you!!! I’m a teacher and since school started I have not been the culinary genius that I usually am. “Really honey, eggs for dinner again?” Love that this recipe is something that I or my husband or even my 13 year old can throw together!
Hmm, you’re in Denver so I’m guessing you went to see the Rockies play. Which is really baffling because all but four of the players on their ~40 man roster are 6′ or above (three of those “shorties” are 5’11” and one is 5’9″) so the 4’8″ men you saw are probably also a side effect of the double vodka soda lol. Anyway, the recipe looks great, anything with avocado gets my seal of approval.
Julie, I love a lot of your recipes – especially this one – talk about easy. Wondering if you can give me any insight on how to track the nutritional value on your recipes. Thanks! Rick
