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 can’t wait to make this recipe for my family!!! I know they are going to love it!!! The mean people in this world should all be put in a room together. Just always remember people feed off of misery!! Stay strong!!! Your a very beautiful girl:)
I have no idea where my life would be without guacamole. Seriously. I have no idea.
Mean people suck and can’t appreciate a good food blog mixed with a side of sarcasm. I’m pretty sure if we knew each other in real life, we’d be friends. Is that weird? Maybe but I don’t care 🙂
Sorry to hear about the mean comments. IGNORE. I love everything about this salad!
You never know who you might be an inspiration for. So continue your strength. A handful of weeks ago I stumbled upon your site. Once athletic, an x cross filter, someone with Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, and now just in a stretch of not giving a shit – depressed & fat- that’s me. For health I need to eat gf & paleo. I like to cook. I like flavor. I like attitude. Within minutes of coming across your site I ordered your book – over night shipment. I’m on recipe 8. It’s good. Do your thing. It’s your slice of the paleo world. For this soul who lost their way you are part of my coming back story. Sounds stupid. It’s true.
Telling you to put a bag over your head seems a little out of left field, and totally unfounded because you’re really pretty. Whatever. The internet has just turned people in D-bags. F— ’em.
Keep the ground beef recipes coming! I’ve been eating more of it lately and need some creative ideas. Even simple ones like this. Yum. I’ll probably make this sometime over the weekend. But with lettuce. 🙂
This looks delicious.
You’re adorable, and your recipes are fantastic. I don’t understand people who feel the need to spread unhappiness. Especially on the Internet, where if you don’t like something/someone it’s perfectly easy to just not look at their stuff.
Mean people suck. The end. 🙂
Tell those mean people to stick it where the sun don’t shine! I think you’re super awesome Juli!!! Keep on Rockin’!!
I made almost this exact same dish twice! I time I had leftover acorn squash I added and a can of spinach!! With a touch of Frank’s Hot Sauce!! hahaha!!
And your are super awesome!! Ignore and delete hateful people!!
