So last week, while I was on book tour, a lovely and beautiful young woman asked when I was going to do a podcast. The thought has popped into my mind once or twice, but I’ve just never followed through with it. I’ve never felt passionate enough about one topic to put it into a podcast, since I leave ALL my thoughts here. But it got me thinking, maybe I should try it! I’m testing out some video and trying to teach myself some new things, so why not!
Yesterday I recorded my first podcast. Well, I recorded my first voice memo which I’m hoping to turn into a podcast. But I’m kind of stuck…because I don’t know what the F I’m doing! I’ll figure it out soon…fingers crossed. I’m thinking I may just record some random thoughts while I’m driving, maybe call it ‘On the Road with Juli’ so whenever I drive to the gym and have some sh*t I need to get off my chest, I’ll talk about it there. Yesterday’s voice memo recording was all about alcohol. I get comments and questions about alcohol on a regular basis and someone told me I seem hungover ALL THE TIME, so I just spilled my opinions in an 11 minute rant.
Is there any topics you’d really like to hear about in podcast? Or any tutorials you’d like to see on video? I’m filming a hair tutorial tomorrow so fingers crossed I can figure it out and get it up by next week! Now that I’m beginning to create my own office/studio space, I’m getting really excited to try new things that are difficult to me and learn new skills. Ready to expand out!
Speaking of expanding out, next week I’m heading to San Fransisco to this event that includes 12 other bloggers and myself. I’m not really sure how much I’m suppose to talk about, but I’ll definitely be sharing a blog post about it soon and explaining all the details! The gist of it is that I get to meet up with all these other bloggers, chat food, chat fashion, and hopefully get even more inspired by other women who are working their tail feathers off!! It’s going to be so fun to see what other women are up to when it comes to blogging and creating their own business!
Now wait, we must talk about this chili before I go. Because I ABSOLUTELYLOVEITSOMUCHOMG!! It’s so delicious, so easy, a one pot meal, and there really is no prepping other than just cutting up veggies. It’s that easy. And it’s SO tasty. I really recommend using Frank’s Red Hot Sauce because if you try using a cup of something like Cholula or Tabasco, you’re going to hate your life. Unless you love burning your insides. That decision is up to you.
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili
- Yield: 4-5 1x
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 white sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 stalks of celery, diced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned, not drained)
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (I used Frank’s Red Hot Sauce)
- 1/2 cup broth (I used Epic’s Beef Jalapeño Bone Broth)
For garnish
- Tessemae’s Creamy Ranch Dressing
- sliced fresno peppers
- sliced green onions
- fresh lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
- This may get confusing, so good luck.
- Place all ingredients in a crockpot (except for the garnishes) and mix together until combine. (no, you do not need to brown the meat beforehand, no need to ask)
- Cover and cook for 8 hours on low. Once cooked through, mix once more to combine everything.
- Garnish with Tessemae’s Creamy Ranch Dressing, fresno peppers and green onions. A squeeze of fresh lime juice makes it even more fresh tasting!
- You did it. You got through the lengthy, super hard process. And you crushed it! HIGH FIVE!

I would love to have you do a podcast on what to look for when finding a good crossfit gym. After following you for a year now, you inspired me to try crossfit this week. I already work out 4-5 times a week free weight/ barbell training and cardio and would love to change up my fitness routine. I went to a class this past weekend and loved the work out but not the box so much. It wasn’t a super friendly place and didn’t get the best feeling there. I signed up for the fundamentals and after my first session my back is killing me. I’m going to try out a few more clubs. I know you sometimes workout at other crossfits gyms when you travel so I’m sure you have seen all kinds of clubs. I would love to know your thoughts of what makes up a great program and what to be on the lookout for when trying to find a great club. I live in the DWF area and luckily I have a lot to choose from.
Looks great! But I have never seen a white sweet potato at the grocery store, ok to use orange? Are what and orange the same flavor?
yep, orange will work just fine! they taste a tad different, but orange will still taste great
In the crockpot as we speak! I can’t wait for dinner. Thanks for keeping my husband and me fed. SERIOUSLY.
Yay! Cannot wait for the podcast! I am also equally excited about this chili and that you referred to me as ‘young’. This is officially my fav blog post ever 🙂
world market!
Oops! I used franks red hot wing sauce! Its in the crock pot now…how do you feel about this?
that will still be fine, that’s not crazy spicy in excess either
Since I love crossfit, I’d like to hear more about it from someone more experienced. How to improve on movements, strength, endurance, gymnastic stuff, etc.
Love the blog!
love that idea, charmaine!
I would love some input for Crossfit for beginners. I’ve been doing Crossfit for about a year, and I still suck at it. When I say suck, I mean, I am not as strong as I want to be. I compare myself to everyone else around me, which I know is not a good thing to do, but it’s inevitable when I’m always the last or the lowest score. No one makes me feel bad about it (the complete opposite – everyone is super encouraging)… it’s just me. So any words of encouragement or advise that you could give for tuning out your mind and focusing on yourself would be great! As well, as any input on how to improve mentally and physically, would be great!!
Not usually a buffalo fan, but you’ve never steered us wrong!! This is in the crock pot now- I may not have 8 hours- would 4 on high and a couple on low work?? Thanks- you’re getting us through a second Whole30 with your amazing recipes:)
it might, you probably need about 6 hours on high though…
I’ll be trying this recipe STAT!
I would love it if you could do a blog post on how to plan for a dinner party? I cook ALL the time and we have friends/family over for dinner all the time but I still go into panic mode every time I have to menu plan for entertaining. I always get worried about not having enough food and if my main/sides work together, is this paleo food going to annoy everyone? Would love if you could help with a mix/match menu (doesn’t have to be new recipes). Or really just any tips!
Also- if you have non-paleo friends over to you buy different food for them? Ie. I always forget to buy dinner rolls/bread product and then feel like a bad host! Thanks x
