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
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 pound bulk pork mild italian sausage
- 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 (14 ounce ) cans of tomato sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup fresh basil, finely chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1–2 tablespoons fat of choice (I used bacon fat)
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.
- When all the flavors are well mixed, add the chopped fresh basil, mix well, and serve!
- 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.

I love cold meat sauces,lol
Hi Juli,
I just wanted to say thank you! I usually make a new recipe from your blog each week. Just started experimenting with more Paleo Recipes. Made your meat sauce and the buffalo chicken pasta. Such winners. Cheers.

Tweaked recipe by using lean ground turkey, 1/2 lb of Italian sausage. Ran out of tomato sauce so I improvised with ketchup and diced tomatoes. Came out AMAZE-BALLS!!! Thanks! This is my go-to sauce now!!!
I didn’t read any of the comments before I made it, but will omit or temper back on cayenne or red pepper flakes next time. Otherwise-awesome sauce!!! My non-paleo kids ate it with pasta and I had it over spaghetti squash. Made several single servings for freezer. Definite keeper (sans spice). TY!
Hello! I am waaaay late to this conversation. I love the homemade sauce recipe… Could you suggest some more healthy options to pour this sauce all over (besides spaghetti squash or zoodles)? I make homemade sauce in bulk and want to start adding variety to it. Thanks!!
you could put it on top of sweet potatoes or butternut squash!
Made this for dinner tonight with ribboned zucchini and it was absolutely delicious. I accidentally substituted diced tomatoes for tomato sauce and it worked out fine. The best part, I have left overs. Thanks for such a great recipe.
I have to say – this sauce is one of my favorite foods! I make it once every few weeks and put it on pretty much anything!
The only things I’ve adjusted are I make a few slices of bacon first (using that fat for the veggies) and then chop the bacon and add it in when I put in the tomato sauce…I also use 15 oz of tomato sauce, and 15 oz of diced tomatoes (I like chunky sauce)!
Thanks so much for the recipe!
Just purchased a spiralizer because I wanted to try making the Shrimp Piccata Pasta which looks amazing but before I did, I wanted to use up some ground beef I had in my freezer so found this meat sauce and OMG, it’s amazing. It’s an explosion of flavors in your mouth. I made it with ground beef and sweet italian sausage since that’s what I had in my fridge. I spiralized some sweet potatoes and I’m literally the envy of everyone in my office because my lunch smells AMAZING! I have so much meat sauce that I’m planning on freezing some for later (cause next up is the Shrimp dish!) Love my spiralizer, love this meat sauce. It’s like a brand new world for me!
I’ve made this multiple times and everyone loves it! Usually, I double the recipe so we have enough for a couple of meals and lunches for work. ????
I heard Sean and Catherine are still together. I was also shocked with his choice but guess he knew what he was doing. Gluten is a poison mostly because the wheat of today is not the wheat of our ancestors. I’m using almond, coconut and rice flour in my paleo recipes. Thanks for the recipe.
