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.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This was just what I needed today! Been a crazy week… House flooded, car was crashed into, and this soccer mom hasn’t been to the store in waaaaay too long. I was all out of green chilies but I substituted salsa verde and it worked great. My kids loved it and it was super fast!
FYI I can’t seem to get the rating to go in but I give this 5 shiny stars!
Yummy! Tried this last night (my first time with your recipes) and it was perfect. This will definitely be a staple going forward.
All I can say is yum, yum, yummy! I was able to whip this up in virtually no time. It was perfectly tasty and well seasoned. As one who cannot boil water, I much appreciate your easy to follow and delicious recipes. Definitely will be adding this into the rotation!
Thanks!!
Yeah, I love everything I’ve made from your website. I have your sunbutter cookies in the oven right now. I’m making this recipe for dinner. I can’t remember what recipe I googled brought me to your blog, but I was laughing so loud, I had to explain to my husband that I was reading this hilarious blog with awesome food. You’re inspiring, gorgeous, hilarious and talented. PaleOMG is the only blog I actually read the text an don’t scroll to the recipe. I also love that you hit on girl topics like crossfit and not fitting into jeans and skin etc. I’m SO glad you’re here! All those assholes just can’t stand this awesomeness and success. Do yourself a favor, and as soon as a comment starts to sound mean (because I know you have to read it to find out), erase it without reading the rest. Or have someone screen your comments for you so you don’t have to deal with the negativity. 🙂
I do that on a regular basis now 🙂 especially on my instagram
I made this for the second time and I love it so much! The spiciness and the flavor is just perfect. Thank you! 😉
I just harvested 3 green cheyenne chili peppers the other day, so I used those in place of the canned diced chilies. I made my own version of easy guac using onion, garlic and cilantro from the garden. Where is the cilantro in your recipe?! It was so simple and delicious. Thank you once again!
Can’t wait to try this recipe
I am just starting a paleo lifestyle. I love to cook and look forward to getting your recipes!
Wow, this one’s a winner, only thing I did different was add extra garlic and cayenne, perfect 🙂 Thanks!
I just made this and wanted to say it is the BEST stuff! Really good and really easy. Thank you!
