HI! Omg, did anyone else think the Grammy’s were a total bore?? I did. Ugh, disgusting. Three and a half hours of my life wasted.
Did you miss me? Sorry about being MIA. I’ve been sick. With really nothing serious, but since I’m an only child and rarely ever get sick, I kind of go into shut down mode when I get a cold. I have a head cold and I feel like the world is crushing down on me. Mostly because my face freaked the f*ck out when I got sick. I have a zit pretty much in every pore. And I think we have something around 20,000 pores. You get what I’m saying. Bullsh*t, I tell you. I hate skin.
No but seriously, back to the Grammy’s. I was NOT happy with really any of the performances. They were all completely boring. And appropriate. That’s not why I watch the Grammy’s. I watch for jaw dropping moments and excitement with barely-there clothing. Instead I got Rihanna looking downright depressed (she did look good depressed, though) and some no name guy singing about Forrest Gump. I say no name because I literally have already forgot his name even though he was up for 1,000 Grammy’s. So when he took to the stage with his truly ear bleeding performance, I was just mad. I waited all night for this bro? Are you kidding me? My ears didn’t really bleed. Just wept. No Nikki Minaj’s ass, no Justin Beiber with Usher’s dance moves, and no Britney Spears comeback. What a waste. Thankfully I was high off cough medicine. I think I’m kidding.
Ok, I’m done complaining. Just do better next year Grammy’s. Get your life together. Let the good looking people show skin.
I got an electric toothbrush the other day. I’m obsessed. I want to brush my teeth seriously all the time. I brushed them three times yesterday. I’m a two-a-dayer, so three is going a bit crazy. But I love it. You have to get one of these things. I plan on having my teeth at least 6 shades whiter by my birthday. Realistic? I think so.
So the creative process for my second cookbook has begun. Sadly, I’m not very creative. Hopefully I become more creative as the next few months go by. I just started to create some of the desserts that will fill my next cookbook. Exciting! My life will now once again be a bit frantic. Mostly because that’s how I am. I’m frantic. That being said, I will be posting recipes not quite as often as I usually do. Probably around 3 recipes a week. I hope you still like me. I just want to make a rad cookbook so I gotta keep recipe ideas for the book!

I am hopelessly stuck in the 70s and 80s as far as music goes, so I have no interest in the Grammy’s – your post makes me glad.
I also have little interest in rutabagas, although I’m not sure why; this looks absolutely delicious.
Hello, Earth to Juli… in case you hadn’t noticed YOU FREAKING WON THE SOUS VIDE CONTEST!!! I commented right away in your Pineapple Caribbean Jerk Filet recipe post. (I also ended up buying a sous vide thingy after you posted your Pineapple Jerk recipe, but still need to get the ingredients together for it). What did you win? I hope you got to keep the sous vide thingy because I want more of those recipes! Still, I understand you need to concentrate on the cookbook. Hope you’re feeling better soon, too.
Donald,
Nomnompaleo.com does a lot of Sous Vide so you should check out her blog also for recipes.
Thanks, Mary Kay! You’re right. Nomnom has quite a bit there.
If you like that recipe, try dicing bacon (turkey or regular…whatever trips your trigger), saute it with thinly sliced onions, shrooms, and sliced brussell sprouts until everything is carmelized and yummy! Best side dish ever with a good steak!
405 degrees – haha you couldn’t have picked a more random temperature! Nonetheless, I can’t wait to try, I’m always desperate for new veggie recipes
a brussel sprout recipe without bacon?!? i can’t WAIT to try this though!!
Is it supposed to read 450? Sorry you’re under- get well soon.
nope, 405
These look so good! Brussel sprouts are definitely my favorite vegetable. I will have to try them one day this week.
I just made these a few weeks ago and I’m so glad to see you put them on the site! They’re really good mixed with baked carrots!
Juli, what do you eat when you are sick? I got the cold/flu with nasty cough about 2 weeks ago, it took me out for 4 days and all I wanted to eat was toast, crackers and chicken noodle soup! I tried so hard to eat paleo, because I had only been eating paleo for a month, but I failed. I was thinking about making a chicken noodle soup using zucchini instead of noodles but I did not have the energy for experimentation. Hope you feel better soon!
well it really depends. i haven’t eaten a ton while i’ve been sick, but when I do, I just stick to simple foods. eggs and italian sausage. sweet potato chips with a chicken salad from whole foods. banana with sunbutter. my diet is pretty much the same, but i go with anything that my body says it wants, which usually stays within paleo guidelines. i tend to have more gluten free things such as gluten free pizzas, pupusas or other things like that to help me if i’m feeling down.
Mmmmm this post is perfect timing, I love brussels and my husband hates them, but he’s gone on a boys weekend so I get to eat all the delicious roasted brussels and avocado chocolate pudding I want!
