Have you ever have one of those days, where you need to dye your hair so bad that you have no choice other than wearing a hat or a headband everywhere you go? No? Whatever. I’m there right now. My roots are so bad that I only have the choice to wear something to cover my head. A bag might work. Somebody once told me on a comment I should just wear a bag over my head so no one had to look at me. Sometimes d*ck head comments make sense. #notreallybutkindof.
I’ve been getting some weird comments lately. Lots of mean ones. It’s so strange to me that people have nothing better to do than say mean things over comments. Not even about my recipes, just me. Which is strange to me. I’m just not a super mean person, or angry, and I only dislike a total of probably 3 people in this world, so it’s very weird when people have such built up aggression towards someone they don’t even know. But they keep commenting. And I keep deleting their comments. No need for anger on my blog. I like happy things. Like unicorns and butterflies.
You know what makes me real happy? I installed my window air conditioning unit in my room the other day. When you walk into my room, it changes by 20 degrees. 20 freaking degrees. It’s ridiculous how much of a difference it makes. I mean, my room is the size of a water closet, whatever that means, so a window unit makes a huge difference. I sleep like an infant now. A good infant.
So I literally had nothing to eat yesterday. Nothing. I haven’t really been grocery shopping since I’ve been traveling so I just eat out of my freezer now. So that means lots of beef. I really only have beef in my freezer so I’ll be eating that for a while. And since I had canned tomatoes and green chiles, I decided it was a mexican salad and easy guacamole kind of day. Is this boring? No. It’s delicious. Is this creative? Absolutely not. Would this be good with lettuce? Hell yeah! I just had none. I should just go to the store.

Came home from work on Monday, with a bad case of the Monday’s and couldn’t be motivated to actually ‘cook’ anything. Then I remembered seeing this – super quick, super easy, super tasty! Just what I needed!
This one will become a staple in my kitchen, thanks again for another awesome recipe!
So good!!! Used jalapeños instead of green chiles. I love how I taste this cheesy flavor ever so slightly. But no cheese in it! Will make this again. Love it.
Juli – We made this Monday night and it was DELICIOUS. You are an amazing & beautiful woman. People making those rude comments are trying to make themselves feel better by putting someone else down. Very sad. Hang in there 🙂 You are awesome.
Screw those people who are angry. I happen to love your sense of humor AND your recipies! I’m new to this paleo lifestyle so thanks for all of your ideas, it helps a lot!
why it is named maxican salad??? It looks like italian salad
This is my first time trying one of your reciepes and it we loved it. I honestly see your blog changing our lives. Thank you so much!!
Looks great I’ll have to try that one. Here’s a good recipe for spaghetti squash.
-cook the squash like normal
– cook ground beef
– put basil and sun dried tomatoes in oil in a food processor and pulse
-after the ground beef is done mix the basil/tomato in the pan with the beef. I try not to cook the basil/tomato mix too much.
– top over the spaghetti squash.
Aloha
I am making this on Monday for lunch with my paleo eating friend!! I love cooking for him 🙂 If it was just for me I would so add a jalapeno and I have to minus the cumin…I am so allergic to it! I put in coriander instead 🙂 I am gonna do a lettuce wrap with it. So awesome I can’t wait!!!
Mean people suck. Good, now that I’ve said it, it’s official. Personally, I find you hilarious and even when you’re kvetching about something, you always put a positive spin on it.
I can’t wait to make this tonight … Doubling the batch for days of leftovers. OOOOH, and breakfast. I’ll bet a fried egg on top would almost taste like a breakfast unburrito. Who wants the stoopid wrap anyway. Best part is the protein and veggies!
Anyway, I like unicorns and butterflies too. Recipe please!
I always notice people hide behind their computers and say mean things to celebs and it pisses me off… That being said if people do it to you try to think of it this way… Clearly you’ve made it in life and people a jealous just like they are celebs haha
