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.

I just ran across the recipe and it looks wonderful. I don’t usually comment on things but I want to say that you have an awesome sense of humor. I can’t imagine anyone saying something negative on here but whats really weird is that if they don’t like your blog why read it and comment?
Hi Juli, I’m making this tonight for dinner. I was looking for something to do different with the ground hamburger I have and this fits the bill. Aside from the guac I’m gonna add some jalapenos and serve it over some romaine … Mmmmmm : )
Thanks ~ Deanna
Just like you… I have a freezer full of beef so this recipe was perfect! We really enjoyed it and have already packed it up for lunches tomorrow. Thanks for another winner!!!
This was SO yummy! We put it on a salad with tons of veggies. My kids said it was THE BEST taco meat ever! Love your blog. 🙂

Super simple meal with lots of flavor. Great as leftovers too. First time had it with shredded lettuce and 2nd time without – I prefer no lettuce 🙂 Love Guac!!!!
Thank you!!
Seriously, you have some of THE most awesome recipes. I’m new to your blog but I think you are just about the most hilarious blogger ever and your recipes are to die for! I think you’re great. I am so excited to try ALL of your recipes. Mean people are hideous unhappy people so bleh to them. You inspire me.
Mean people do suck but you are awesome. I am a Paleo Newbie…. and am loving it!!! I stumbled on your blog while fulfilling my Pinterest addiction and I am so glad that I did. You have so many awesome recipes and you have made my life so much easier in this huge transformation. It’s hands down the best thing I’ve done in a while aside from marrying my incredible husband and having the best two kids EVER….I love reading your blog, love your recipes and wish you the very best! You rock!!!
Totally feel you on the grocery shopping aversion.
I think the general consensus is that mean people suck. But think of it this way, maybe their lives suck so horribly that the only thing that brings them joy is being miserable to others. Maybe they’re using your comments section as a therapy session to unleash some of the nastiness and hateration pervading their lives. So, really you’re helping them get better. You should charge a couch fee and start writing prescriptions for STFU and maybe some GTHOI, which they can fill in the comfort of their own homes.
Love the recipe! 😀
Now, what can I do with these frozen chicken breasts a can of coconut milk and a spaghetti squash? O_o #helpasistaout
