I want to eat these muffins seriously every day. I don’t know why I’ve never stuffed jelly into muffins before. What a dummy I am.
Yesterday, something really exciting happened to me. Let me give you a little back story. I LOVE watching Cupcake Wars. It’s pretty much the only show I watch on the Food Network anymore. I just absolutely love to see the flavors these bakers come up with. But I started loving Cupcake Wars even more when Kyra, a gluten free baker, began killing it with her crazy, creative cupcakes. Well, I fell in love with her and all the cupcakes she created, so I did what anyone would do and started stalking her on instagram. And when I left a comment on one of her pictures, SHE WROTE BACK and said that she’s been following my blog for years. I pretty much died. I seriously let out a small scream in a fit of joy. She’s so great. I hope I get to try her gluten free cupcakes someday. I may have to go to Oregon on my book tour just so I can try those beautiful things.
Another exciting thing happened to me yesterday. I got to hang out with Michelle from Nom Nom Paleo!! Have you bought her cookbook yet? It’s stunning. Anywho, she came to Denver to do a book signing and I was lucky enough to get a quick dinner with her. She picked Root Down to grab some food at, which was genius because I hadn’t been there in forever and I forgot how good it was. We got the brussels sprouts and kale salad, seared columbian arepas, bison meatballs and the beef short ribs. We both weren’t incredibly hungry so I’m lucky enough to have leftovers for breakfast today. YAY ME!! Pretty bummed we didn’t get to have dessert but there was just not enough room in our guts. That restaurant is delicious. The only thing I can complain about is when I walked in and walked up to the desk, the hostess looked at me and said, “Yeah?” Super welcoming.
You know what is kind of strange? Every picture I’ve posted on instagram lately, someone comments about my eyebrows. I don’t think I ever notice other people’s eyebrows.
Are any of you making something special for St. Patrick’s Day this weekend? Or doing something special? I’m guessing most people will say drinking. I can’t decide what to do. The past 3 years, I’ve stayed at home because I’ve been training or cooking away. Or making the excuse that I was training or cooking, so I didn’t have to go out and get drunk as balls. So what to do this year. That is the question. Tell me things!

Why must everyone keep posting amazing recipes….now I have to find time to make this one. I will try not to drink as much this year. Especially cause last week I got drunk and made myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. So at least this weekend i can eat these while drunk and it will be more legit. Thanks!
I used to love Cupcake Wars too until the wife of one of the guys I work with went on the show and I found out how it really works. The contestants have to make their own displays and bring them with them to the show. Those cute carpenter guys don’t build them, the contestants do. They also have to bake the 1,000 cupcakes for the final round ahead of time and bring them to the show, they don’t actually bake 1,000 in the time frame given on the show. So basically the whole show is a farce. My co-workers wife spent several thousand dollars on her display, making all the cupcakes and then transporting them to the TV studio from her hometown. I was so bummed, I used to LOVE this show as I am a baker too. 🙁
whaaaaaat?? that’s crazy!!!
You should definitely come to Portland for Kyra’s cupcakes. They are seriously amazing!! I lived right down the street from her bakery for 3 months when I first moved here and had NO idea and was really angry at myself when I figured out how close I was and that I hadn’t been there yet. Best cupcakes ever!
these look stupendous! I’ll be at a kegger tomorrow after tackling 14.3 ! lol — no reason I can’t recover with beer, right???? Beer does NOT sit well with me WHATSOEVER so i may bring my own GF beer , or just stick to another alochol… happy St. Pat’s!
This recipe looks great! I am going to make it soon but probably use almond butter instead.
Now you know how I would feel if you commented on any of my IG pics!! I am so excited to volunteer at Paleo f(x) this year. I am hoping that I get to meet you but I will for sure be listening to you speak!
I seriously love you. My mom used to make a pb&j muffin growing up, but they were vegetarian. I’ve been craving something like this since I’m pregnant, and you just made me soooooo happy!! 🙂
sunbutter is seriously my new paleo obsession!!
I finally tried it a month ago and was immediately in love (I haven’t been a fan of almond butters). I love it so much, that after the grocery stores here being sold out for the past 3 weeks, I broke down and just ordered it online and paid probably too much for shipping. But I don’t care… it’s so delicious 🙂
Now… where to find the time to make these inspiring muffins!! They look divine!
Would applesauce work in place or in part with the nut/seed butter??
Um…yeah…I’m a little disappointed that the only reason you would come to Oregon is to eat a cupcake. Ouch. You should come for so many more reasons. Yuppers.
Anyway, let’s try to put the hurt aside and talk about food, because that is what is really important in life, because what are feelings for if you can’t soothe them with food. I am making these now. I also had a fantastic bake-off with a friend the other day. Theme: make as many of Juli’s treats as possible. Um, my mouth is so raw from all of the uncooked, handfuls of almond butter filled yumminess that I “taste-tested”. Keep up the good work!
…and let me know if you need a few more reasons to do book-signing in Oregon.
YUMMY! I cannot wait to make these…perfect breakfast bite…I have no plans for St.Paddy’s and like you I am debating whether or not I want to go out…Decisions Decisions!
