People like easy things. Especially men. They like simple, easy recipes. And easy women. They can’t help it, they just do. Ok, geez I’m kidding. Only 94% of men like easy women. The other 6% are married. Eeeek, I just offended a lot of people. Oops. And now my guy friends are going to text me today to tell me that I’m being whiny. The other day, while drinking alcoholic beverages, they informed me that I’m annoying. This is something that is a true statement. BUT they said it was because I’ve been so whiny lately on my blog about being single.
Ok guys. Let’s chat. All my guy friends are single because they want to be. Not because they haven’t met a nice girl. They literally just like being with the bros, spitting beer at each other, and yelling obscenities. And I get it. Bros do bro stuff. Who needs b*tches when you got your bros fo’ life, right? Well, the tough part for me is I don’t like beer. And I cuss enough on my blog that I don’t have to yell it in public places. So, I actually think spending time with a nice man would be a great. And since that nice man isn’t around, I’m forced to be a bro with all my guy friends, so I’m going to whine about it on my blog. That’s just fact. I think you should thank me for not whining to you all about it, instead, utilizing the world wide web for that purpose. You’re welcome.
Oh goodness. I’m so happy and excited. I leave for California tomorrow!! For the ‘Fuel the Fire’ Fundraiser at CrossFit Anaerobic 2 in Laguna Niguel! It’s going to be awesome. Do you live in California? Do you like CrossFit and paleo? Do you want to show me around California? Perfect. Be there. You can sign up here!! Do it!
Speaking of awesome events for charity, yet another one is coming up. But this one is in Colorado! My good friend, Clark from CrossFit South Denver, will be hosting Denver Bears for Kids Charity Competition! The charity competition will be October 27th from 1-4 pm and ALL proceeds will go to Denver Children’s Home. It’s a competition built for all levels of CrossFitters. AND PaleOMG will be representing at the competition to help raise some extra money. For every $10 raised, Clark and I will do 1 burpee. And there will be a race to see who can finish the burpees first. Should be fun, in a disturbing way. Thankfully I love burpees. Check out the link to sign up or to just donate!! Hope to see some faces there!
I just ate the sh*t ton of plantains. Like, dear god Juli. Get your life together.

- Use a spoon to sprinkle on your toppings on your salmon and then your hand to pat into your salmon.

Speaking for myself, men like simple things, not easy ones, easy is boring; simple just leaves room for more fun!
+1 for Dijon in recipes
This recipe was like mana raining down from heaven! Came at the perfect time. Had a little bit of Salmon in the fridge. I am eating it right now and it is great, as always. Thank you!
Was sooo good!! Made my husband make it for me for my birthday dinner yesterday!! Thank you for so many great recipes!! Can’t wait for your cookbook!!
P.S. If you can’t whine on your own blog, where can you…besides guys think all women do is whine and are annoying or that’s what they say when they LOVE us,lol…. ;o)
Oh my GOD, that looks good! But the Alaskan in me is forcing me to ask: is that salmon wild caught or farmed? Judging from the color (farmed salmon is dyed as it lacks the natural coloring wild salmon has) and the fat distribution (good fats vs bad fats, blah blah blah) it looks like it could be farmed to me. But then again, the other meats that you link to on your site look divine and are of top quality. Maybe it’s just farmed salmon paranoia getting to this Alaska girl…
And since I haven’t said it yet, I LOVE YOUR BLOG! You’ve inspired me to cut some of the “nasty’s” out of my diet and to treat my body well. Have you ever done a post on being paleo on a budget? As a poor college student I would so appreciate some tips on how to live a paleo lifestyle without breaking the bank.
Thanks so much for all you do! And please, whatever you do, don’t ever stop blogging. I’m addicted to your work!
wild caught!! that was the only reason i bought it, i just stored it in the freezer for quite a while before i actually used it!
This is an old recipe but you still land always will kick so much ass Juli, you have my heart!
I thought it must be, considering the quality of the ingredients you use. Thanks again for being a rock star and helping to make the paleo world delicious. I, too, live in Colorado and yor Lake Powell photos made me green with envy. One day I’ll make a friend/man with a houseboat and spend all of my weekends there in the sun. Hey, a girl can dream!
I’ll trade you juli, being the single nice guy leaves you so much worse for wear ; ),
Seems girls fall for the lines from the guys guy
impeccable timing! I bought salmon last night, but can’t do my usual maple-chili marinade on it since I’m doing a paleo challenge w/ my cf box. This will be dinner tomorrow 🙂
You’re just saying what everyone else is thinking! 🙂 Haha. That’s what makes this so fun to read.
Just bought a whole (yep…the whole darn thing) salmon this weekend…going to give this a shot. Miss you all at CFB!
Made it, loved it. No surprise there. Keep ’em coming. Can’t wait for the book.
Skin on or skin off? Which side do you crust (if you leave the skin on)? 🙂
I left my skin on and I just crusted the non skin parts. The skin just slides off after you cook it!
