Wearing high heels anywhere is so unrealistic. Especially while drinking. I’ve figured out, my toes almost always swell when I drink. Seriously, they get hot, swell up, and get tingly. Like when you’re on an airplane. Or pregnant. At least that’s what I’ve heard. I’ve never been with child.
I say this because I’m watching Sex and the City. But also, because I wore heeled boots out a week ago and my toes were crying after 2 or 7 shots of vodka. And when my toes cry, I whine. I’m an only child, so I’m sure you can imagine how often whining occurs. Answer: #fartoooften. I hate myself sometimes. And my toes. My chubby, drunk toes.
Speaking of drinking times, as you may know, the season finale of The Bachelor was on the other night and that meant girls night. And girls night includes food, more food, drinks, and more drinks. And gossip. It’s the best part. We decided for the finale, we would drink every time someone on the show said ‘connection’ or ‘love’. So I’m sure you can imagine how many drinks were downed. But that’s not what’s important here….
Sean chose….Catherine. WTF?!?! Are you serious? I was screaming at the TV. I’m not sure if it was the booze talking, but I was mad either way. This show is already complete bullsh*. I mean every single girl thinks she is in love with a guy after a couple weeks. And when I say a couple weeks, I am exaggerating. But then they make him pick the wrong person?! After telling us he’s a born again virgin?? Are you freaking serious? Way to make the Bachelor a COMPLETE bore. I mean come on. I was in pissed off-thrown for a loop-shock. It was so disappointing. I think he picked Catherine because he knew Lindsay would jump his bones. And he’s trying to keep it in his pants after living 28 years. I guess he made the right decision. Bastard.
I’m almost positive gluten poisoned me. Seriously. After eating gluten, then drinking a bottle of Kim Crawford, my stomach is f*cked. I am resisting to blame it on the alcohol. That would be out of my system by now. But this gluten from last week is haunting me. I’m pretty sure gluten is a parasite and this parasite is making babies in my insides that are very hungry children. Most are. And now they are drunk parasite children. What I’m trying to say here is, my insides hate me. I’m staying away from sugar, alcohol, and new restaurants. My life just got boring, didn’t it? Damnit.
My Meat Sauce I Put On Everything

- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow onion, diced

Instructions
- Heat up a large saucepan over medium heat, add a couple tablespoons of fat of choice then add minced garlic cloves, the bell peppers and onion along with a little salt and pepper to the pan.
- Move vegetables around until onions become translucent.
- Add ground chicken and bulk italian sausage to the saucepan and break up the meat.
- When meat has begun to cook through, add the spices.
- When meat is almost done cooking, pour in the two cans of tomato sauce.
- Salt and pepper once more, then reduce heat and let simmer for 5-7 minutes.

- Easy peasy! Put on mushrooms, brussel sprouts, spaghetti squash, eggs, acorn squash, really anything you want. Or eat it cold. It’s pretty damn good cold.

Is this recipe gluten free?
All Paleo is gluten free.
I made your meat sauce for the first time tonight. My husband said it was better than anything we had bought in a jar! I think I’ll add mushrooms next time. I really enjoy your site. Thanks!
How often do you drink alcohol? I am four months into crossfit and it is quite evident in workouts after a weekend where I drank. How do you do it?
when I was competing, i didn’t drink for that very reason. now I drink whenever i feel like it, i just know my workout won’t be very strong the next day
I’ve recently started a paleo lifestyle, and trying to get my bf involved was hard. Last week I made this recipe and served it over zucchini noodles, he loved it so much I’m making it again tonight, I think I may have hooked him. Thank you so much, this dish is hands down the best thing ever!

So I’m fairly new to the Paleo Lifestyle and I am soooo loving all your recipes!! I made this sauce on the weekend and OMG delicious!! I think this is the best sauce I’ve ever made 🙂 I had it today for lunch with the brussel sprouts that I cooked with bacon better than any spaghetti I’ve ever had.

I love this recipe! I am sad I forgot to add the peppers but it is still amazing! Thank you!!
So I have now already made this recipe twice – and posted a pic on facebook. Which in turn has made multiple friends comment and some have now made it and exclaimed to me about it. This recipe is KILLER!!! It even got my mom to eat brussel sprouts!
I made it using ground turkey and ground pork with a tablespoon of the well-fed italian sausage seasoning. So much flavor and so excited that I have some still in the freezer!
