I had seriously no clue what to call this sauce. So I did what anyone would do…got really creative. Then I figured out, I’m not creative. And called it OMG sauce. I can just feel the disappointment radiating off your face right now. I know, I know.
It feels good to be home. I got home on Saturday after something like 9 hours of traveling. Was up by 3:45, drove to the Pittsburgh airport, flew to Atlanta, napped on the Atlanta airport seats, tried to eat some chicken and green beans but had a hard time because my body didn’t want to process food that early, flew to Colorado, drove to my house, changed into workout clothes, drove to the gym, had a terrible workout because of lack of food and sleep, then grabbed a burger from Park Burger and watched some movie I don’t remember. Then I took a Tylenol PM and passed out by 8something. Slept for 12 hours. Pretty solid Saturday. Sunday gave me a much more enjoyable workout, thankfully. It’s amazing what eating and sleep can do for a body. It makes me much happier. Oh, and the box from modcloth.com waiting at the house didn’t hurt either.
Pittsburgh was awesome. Here’s the story with Pittsburgh if you haven’t heard it already. You see, George from Civilized Caveman and I are writing a cookbook!! Pretty exciting stuff! What’s even more exciting is that it’s already out for preorder! So George and I decided to head to our friends Bill and Hayley’s house in Pittsburgh to do cool things like eating with them and film our own promo video with ShoFilms. We spent almost an entire day just filming us cooking, doing weird things, and eating. I’m guessing 85% of it was awkward. Here are some of the bloopers. And that’s just some of them. It’s so exciting that the book is already on Amazon, even though the book doesn’t come out until June 10th. But what’s really cool about it is that if you pre-order the book on Amazon, you don’t pay until it releases on June 10th, and you get locked in at the lowest price it ever hits on Amazon. So if it says $26 right now and you order it, then the next week it drops to $15, you only pay $15 unless it goes lower but you’ll never pay higher!! Pretty cool if you ask me.
So anywho, after filming we just spent some time hanging out. Hayley and I went shopping one day on Walnut St. Lululemon, Francesca’s and the Gap got the best of me. I was incredibly surprised that I was able to fit everything back into my suitcase. But now that I’m back home, I’ve cut myself off from shopping. I have quite enough boots and scarves by nowWe also cooked a lot. Meaning Bill cooked a lot. And I ate a lot. I made breakfast one morning and donuts one afternoon. Who doesn’t need a good apple cider donut sometimes? We also went to a restaurant called Legume where I got duck confit and a looooot of french fries. I need to make sure I don’t let myself get hungry while traveling because I can get a little wild on fries when hungry. We also went to a restaurant called Pig and Chicken and had some pretty damn good ribs. I think I ate ribs 3-4 times while I was out there. Which is awesome because that’s more BBQ than I’ve eaten in an entire year.
But anyways, I’m back home for a week and then I leave again on Sunday for California then Boston. I’ll be gone from my little home for 9 whole days. Not loving that. Especially since I’m taking a carry on. F*ck the man, I ain’t payin’ fo no bag check. That was annoying. But seriously. There’s no way I’m paying $75 to carry clothes. I’m pretty cheap when it comes to just buying clothes, but paying to just ship them in the cargo space underneath my seat, where they then proceed to ruin the outside of my bag by throwing it around like a rag doll, just doesn’t make sense to me. So I’ll be wearing a lot of the same things over the next 9 days. Sexy.

These bloopers are the best thing ever…there are like 17 times I just cracked up! So much fun and I can’t wait for the book; already have it pre-ordered!!
I’m actually having a hard time with that sauce. I’m having a hard time waiting for everything else to cook because the sauce just keeps getting spooned into my mouth. I’m pretty sure this will be a sauceless meal.
I’m hoping to make this tonight, is there an alternative to the Sriracha since I don’t have any now? Thanks for this site, it feeds my family often!
You could just add some hot sauce instead!
Amazeballs!!!!!! Absolutely Amazeballs!!
So I was craving Asian food like mad today and lo ere is the recipe. My first thought was, spaghetti squash in and Asian dish…yuck! Then I watch the video of you and George and it made my laugh so much I thought surely I can trust her taste buds. I am so glad I did! I took my first but and literally exhaled and said oh…my…goodness! I was starving, but this hit the spot! I have to stop typing so I can stuff my face again!!
Made this tonight! WOW it is so good!
I made this tonight with the tahini option and it was KILLER good. Thanks so much, think this sauce is going to be a staple here…as in, for breakfast, toothpaste, anything we can think of. Thanks for the great recipe.
This is my favorite Paleo dish I’ve ever made. This dish is truly delicious!!!
I can’t ever get the star ratings to work on my cell phone, but since I’m here, I wanted to just spell it out, F I V E S T A R S!! I made it last week and have craved it ever since. It has the same signature flavor bomb as all your other recipes. LOVE.
This is INSANELY delicious!!! Made it last night (without the Sriracha Sauce) and OMG is right. Next time, I will add more broccoli and spinach *****
