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.

I recently found out I have several food allergies-mostly grains. A co-worker led me to this website, and there are several recipes on here I can have!!! This salmon was the first one I tried and OMG!!!! My husband and I were heaven! I will make this at least once a week! Thank you for all you do!!!
I eat salmon all the time, and this is the BEST RECIPE I’ve found in years! I can’t say I followed the recipe exactly — only because I was hurrying too much to measure (long work day) — but you inspired me, and the mustard is the key! I substituted almond flower, which worked fine…and added a little toasted coconut I had leftover from another recipe. Went great with bok choy and spaghetti squash. THANKS!
Thank you again for sharing. I love salmon and this was so juicy and easy to make. We love salmon and I am always looking for new ways to serve it.
Awesome quick recipe!
I’m not a big fish fan and this was delicious!!!
Made this last night – it was so delicious; I absolutely loved the coconut flour crust! I also added a bit of dill in the mix, which I think really complemented the parsley well.
Thanks for your amazing recipes.
Good Friday dinner for us!
Simple and tasty! Even our 2 year old enjoyed it.
Juli- thank you for this recipe! It has made eating a healthy meal so quick and easy–I make it at least once or twice a week, almost always without the coconut flour, and it is AMAZING. Thanks again!!
I really do not like salmon but I want to like it so bad. Tried your recipe and actually really enjoyed this. This is now my go to way to make salmon. My 5 year old who has never had salmon ran into the house from outside ate his entire piece without even asking me what it was, said mmm this is good and ran back outside to play. Dinner success!
