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.

Heya! I’m new to this – paleo – and I can see that I am totally obsessed already! I thrive on being obsessed so now I’m happy. I’m a South African and paleo-business is totally foreign. So I am now freaking all my friends out on FB as well as the moms at school with my new obsession, Paleo! First it was Xfit and now this, gonna love me for the next few weeks 🙂 you make me laugh, thanks I love laughing 😀
AHHHH-MAZING!!!! I love this!! I had some delicious grass fed black angus ground beef from Trader Joe’s and was feeling wholly uninspired and could not have been more excited to see this recipe! It was exactly what I was looking for!
I absolutely love your blog and send EVERYONE here that I know is looking for good Paleo recipes! Keep it up! You’re amazing and PaleOMG is my go-to for recipes almost EVERY day!
I think it’s great that you’re doing what you love and i enjoy reading your posts for the most part. Sometimes i struggle a little with how you combine your thoughts on something you’re doing in your days, with a recipe in the same post. I am not used to this when reading blogs, it’s either one or the other usually. I find that you share alot about yourself on here, which some may absolutely love and intrigues me. I am mainly interested in nutrition and fitness aspects; things i may not know and ideas on food. I don’t mind that you do this, after all its your blog – i just see it as unusual. I enjoy you’re blog so don’t get me wrong at all or i wouldn’t have subscribed to your RSS. I suppose i am just giving you some feedback about why someone might pick on aspects, even though they shouldn’t. Constructive criticism i think is ok if its done right and helpful, but hurtful, no way… sorry to hear thats happening. Keep up the nice work and great food ideas. I love your enthusiasm 🙂
It’s taken me a long time to realise.. But mean people are jealous people. It’s as simple as that. There jealous because they can’t cook magical recipes like you!! You have an awesome blog, your weirdness is fantastic and unique. Love your work… Ps going paleo has made a massive difference to my training.. Thanks for giving me so much inspiration. In a few months ill be launching my own blog.. Hope you come across it soon 🙂
Any hate you get just smacks of jealousy to me. You’re an interesting person with a bubbly personality, and sadly people love to throw rocks at things that shine. I keep coming back to this blog because your recipes always turn out for me, which says something big because I’m not always the best in the kitchen. I’m getting much better now and its great to have a dependable source with lots of variety and that fits my dietary needs. Chin up, Juli!
Guacamole! I’ve been craving it… but with chips. Ahhhhh.
I think the whole commenting thing is the life of a food blogger… I’ve been reading food blogs for a long time and see so many bloggers get bashed by comments. The thing is you can’t make everyone happy and it seems like nowadays people just can’t seem to be nice. That’s everywhere though. You just have an open window (your blog) to take those hits easily. I think you are amazing and obviously there are a ton of other readers that think you are too!
Please keep deleting and ignoring the meanies. Your blog rocks and it makes my boring day a little brighter when I open it up.
We must be on the same wavelength, because I made this (almost the same) last night before even seeing this post. It was very satisfying! I really wanted Taco Bell (I know how bad that is, but I was raised on it… I crave it.), so this hit the spot. Well done!
I’ve gone Paleo for medical reasons, and some of your recipes have really made it easy to do without feeling like I am missing out on any of the foods I used to eat. So in addition to saying kudos on the food, I guess I just want you to know that you’ve actually really helped someone, and no matter how many negative comments you get, there at least 100 other people out there just like me who only want to say, “Thanks.”
I don’t know why people would leave mean comments; they’re most likely very jealous. I read your blog a couple times a week and I have nothing bad to say, except that every time you mention your boyfriend, I die a little inside. Haha just kidding! But seriously, I do.
