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.

As you can tell I can’t type…should say “one time I had…”
This recipe couldn’t have come at a better time, I have exactly one pound of ground beef defrosted in my refrigerator and haven’t been grocery shopping since returning from Hawaii. Apparently I thought it would be a great idea to stack this week with 60hrs at work instead.. I have been asking myself daily what In the world I was thinking! Anyways.. LOVE your blogs and recipes, keep up the awesome work! Oh and keep up the spinning I have been doing it for over a year now and am still obsessed.. trying to build up the muster to give crossfit a try.. all those big muscly way more advanced people than I can be intimidating! This is truing into a letter instead of a comment.. I just wanted to tell you, You Rock! (and grow those roots out a little longer and it will be like ombre)
A: Mean people are just miserable
B: Your blog is all good fun always
C: A water closet is a small room for the toilet.
D: Best Ever Easy Peasy!
People are so weird. And stupid. And sissies apparently to leave mean things over the internet. They should be tazered… In water… You’re the greatest ever. Screw them. 🙂
I just started reading your blog after my friend got me Robb Wolf’s Paleo book for my birthday and I look at your blog every day to see what new stuff you have! I am excited for this salad because it looks quite easy and it will be a nice alternative for lunch! My friend is also super smart and bought your recipe book. 🙂 I am contemplating it as well!
Screw the haters!
First time commenting here, but I have to say, honestly and truly, this blog has really given me the kick in the butt to start cooking. I’m presently on Day … uh, crap, what day is it … 11 maybe? … er, Day something of the Whole 30 so have been scouring for compliant meals as I drag myself through the process of it all. In the past, my cooking has mostly consisted of taking lots of disparate ingredients and never having anything that ultimately resembled a coherent dish, or, for that matter, meal. Your quick and simple meals have been a godsend. So, in short, thank you! 🙂
As for today’s recipe, I’m thinking this will be something for early next week. Sounds delicious!
Well I love your blog, so the mean people can kiss your butt!
By the way, a “water closet” is what the British call the bathroom.
I think you are such a positive influence to so many people in a lot of ways that you will never even know! I only discovered your blog a few months ago and love the witty writing just as much as the recipes. You come across as very authentic and I admire the way you put your full self out there. I also find your honesty refreshing regarding when you eat non-paleo. That’s who you are and you don’t try to put yourself out as being paleo 100% of the time when you’re not. When people are mean it’s really about them and their issues. People who are truly happy are not mean. So I think the mean people really just need to examine their lives and figure out what is wrong with them because they are the ones with the problems. Just keep shining your bright light on the rest of us.
Don’t let the haters get you down. Zig Ziglar called it the seesaw principle; people put you down in order to bring themselves up.
I am new to Paleo and just found your sight this week and have been looking forward to this weekend to do some cooking and try some of your recipes. This one I can do tonight…can’t wait.
We love this recipe. I add Cauli rice to the meat on the stove – kind of makes it like a Chipotle Bowl!
