I’m obsessed with parfaits right now. Remember my Blueberry Carrot Cake Parfait? NO?? YOU HAVEN’T TRIED IT?!?! Oh dear lord. You need to. It was by far the best thing I’ve ever eaten. Thank gosh I don’t exaggerate, ever.
Please do not tell me that Lamar and Khloe are getting divorced. Say it isn’t so. How will any relationship last if they can’t make it work?!
I don’t like high wasted pants. And I especially don’t like that they are making a comeback. I don’t think they shape women well. Because they don’t. Don’t act like I’m not right.
Ok, so it’s pumpkin season again. I know this because when I went to Whole Foods the other day, all pumpkin puree was sold out. That’s some bullish*t right there. I needed that pumpkin so I could make this recipe. Hence why it wasn’t posted yesterday. THE BASTARDS. Anywho, since the state of Colorado is flooding and no sunlight is to be seen, it makes me want pumpkin even more. Not sure why, but it must officially be fall. And I know this because I’m craving a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. Please do not give me the run down about needing to support local coffee shops. I get that enough on instagram. And I’m literally sitting in my favorite local coffee shop, Sugar Bake Shop, as I type this. But it doesn’t mean I can’t crave their competition. I want one. I want one bad, make with heavy cream to make it like a warm milkshake. Thanks, Clark. You’re a genius.
My thighs rubbing together have totally ruined the inner lining of my lululemons. Can I send them back and tell them they need to improve their wunder unders for us thicker girls? I don’t even consider myself a thicker girl, but my pants do. And Sergio does. He told me I’ll always be a bigger girl. What is that suppose to mean, Sergio? This f*ckin’ guy.
Ooo before I forget, even though I’ll remind you like 1000x, I will be selling and signing my cookbook coming up October 5th at Sports Authority Field for the Rx Dash ‘n Bash. It’s a competition for ANY CrossFitter. Newbie, professional athlete, whoever. This partner competition is a challenge with over 2 miles of running and 5 workouts with a fun twist. Spectators are welcome to come cheer on their friends and there will be a party awaiting at the finish line. If you want to dress up all weird, that’s supported as well. I’ll be at the finish line selling my book and ready to meet any wonderful people who are ready to eat delicious paleo food!
Check out this link to sign up with your favorite person. And come visit me. Don’t make me sit alone. That’s just sad.

First of all, I made this today. Amazing. Thank you!
Next of all, my Wunder Unders are all pilled inside the thighs, too. BUT MY UNDERARMOUR LEGGINGS ARE STILL LIKE BRAND NEW, even after a year of almost constant wear.
I’ve given up on Lulu entirely. UA, though… well, my UA cropped leggings are my spirit garments.
I already had my one pumpkin spice latte of the year (dairy does not agree with me or my breastfed daughter) and now I want another one with heavy cream. Thank you for that.
My boyfriend also reacted to the ’10 hours’ comment LOL
I made these with your pumkin granola recipe and it is delicious!
So excited to try this! Like so many, I crave pumpkin everything this time of year! Just this weekend, I made two different kinds of pumpkin-y deliciousness.
On a serious note, Juli, have you been impacted by the flooding? Hope all is well in your world!
I haven’t. where i live barely got hit, i’ve been incredibly lucky
Hot damn this recipe is amazingly tasty!
Instead of maple syrup in the filling, I soaked 10 dates over night and whipped all the ingredients in my blender. I also used ground cloves instead of allspice because that’s how I roll.
Awesome results. Thank you.
Juli, you’re awesome. You are my first paleo blog I follow, and it’s awesome that you’re in Denver too.
Question for you, do you know anywhere to find the ingredients list of foods online? I am currently working at an office where they will pick up my lunch, but no one else has as many restrictions as I do. I want to give them some commercial/pre-packaged foods that are handy, but I don’t want to spend an entire saturday afternoon at the grocery store.
Any tips? (Other than pack my own food, because while that’s handy some of the time, I’d love to cut down my food bills and have them pay for some of it!)
i like to cook in bulk and lots of stuff in the crockpot. that way i have food for the week and don’t have to run back in the middle of the week and spend more money!
Hi Juli!!
I spent most of last night engulfed in your “Rants” section of your blog.. I just love reading all of your posts! I think they are honest, real, personable, and best of all, HI-LAR-I-OUS!!!!! One that really go to me was the “How CrossFit & Paleo Took Over My Life”. I really appreciated your honesty and felt that in some way, I could relate. It makes me sad that you don’t always see how awesomely fit and strong you are (regardless of if your lulu pants rub!!!).
Long story short, I was doing my daily blog reading today and came across one of Sarah Fragos’s post on Everyday Paleo. It made me think of you. You NEED to read this – my hope is that it will remind you of how awesome, strong, and beautiful you are! 🙂 The post is titled “What you don’t see”.
Anyhow thank you for the continuos entertainment, laughter, and delicious recipes!!
Hey,
Just wondering if you have any ideas for a substitute for the PaleoKrunch? Just checked their site and it’s gonna cost $40 to ship to Canada and I definitely can’t justify that no matter how delish this recipe sounds :(( Please help!! 🙂
you could make my pumpkin granola!
Omgosh! Ok, so I made this & it was Suuuper Yummy!
Make couple of adjustments: used your granola recipe instead of paleo krunch; and made half coconut cream and half cashew cream (whipped up both together in blendtec, with maple syrup and vanilla).
It was such a delightful treat. Thanks Juli.
Totally did this with your pumpkin granola recipe. It was delicious! Brought it in to share with my fellow paleo coworkers and they loved it too! Thanks for all your wonderful recipes!
I am a “thicker thigh” gal and i had a pair of lululemon pants that wore a lot in the crotch region. I read somehwere or was told by someone that they would exchange them. I think I had them for less than a year …they exchanged then for a totally new pair! They told me they has issues with some of the styles. I have another pair that I have had for probably 5 years that didn’t wear like these did. Try it out, im sure they would work with u! Ps. I love all of yoru recipes!! I’m looking to have lower calorie intake and lose some weight before I try some of them, but they all look amazing!!
I am really surprised the pumpkin doesn’t get cooked at all…I always find that uncooked canned pumpkin has a very “raw” taste. Is that true here? Or do all the other ingredients make taste not raw?
I agree, but you could always roast your own pumpkin!! Here it works because I add stuff so it doesn’t have that same raw taste
