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.

This looks ah-mazing! And I’m starving right now… Like rip your arm off and chew on it hungry but won’t because I now have this image in my mind and the arm just won’t satisfy…. Can’t wait to try this recipe out tonight! Love your blog!
I am shoveling this in my mouth as I type and it is GREAT! I was out of green chiles which bummed me out cause I like green chiles so I would imagine it tastes even better with green chiles! And thank you for your time, wit, and recipes. The mean people have issues not you!

Stay joyful, happy and loving. You’re a delight. Insecure peeps bag on others to make themselves feel good.
Ignore and keep it movin’!!!!
JULI!!!! You should leave those comments up and let the people that LOVE your blog and recipes respond to them. Remember, they say and write things out of envy, jealousy, and pure anger because you are doing something they WISH they could! You’re a kick ass woman!
This is the first time I’ve EVER commented on a blog. I love your blog. You make me laugh !! Thanks for keeping it real. Ignore the negative comments.
They even have a NAME now for when people leave nasty comment on blogs, webpages, youtube, etc. It’s called the ‘greater internet f-wad theory’. With of course the ‘f’ representing what you probably think it represents. Basically it boils down to people thinking they can be perfect dicks on the internet because there aren’t as many social consequences or general rules of engagement.
But anyway! Love your website! My friend recommended it to me and I love reading your general ramblings about things, they always make me crack up. =D. And your recipes are awesome too. Super paleo and easy. Good combination. Thanks for all of your posts, and keep up the good work! =)
Hi, Juli! A friend just told me about your blog today, and I’m in love with it already. IN. LOVE. I’ve been checking out your posts and recipes, and have been alternately laughing out loud and drooling (over the food porn). I came across this post about people writing mean personal things. Well, at the risk of sounding like my mom when I was in 2nd grade…they’re jealous! You are gorgeous (even in the pics where you reveal acne on your jawline), fit, funny as hell, and you get to make a living out of doing what you love. That really pisses some people off.
Anyway, your blog is funny and fantastic. I can’t wait to take your recipes for a test drive. Don’t get discouraged by the cowardly haters that make themselves feel better by taking shots at you!
