Dreams are so weird. Well, mine are. Since I’m really weird. I had almost a nightmare the other night. Let’s psychological babble this stuff out. Ok, so Laura went out on the town on Saturday night. As did I, BUT I got home by midnight. So I passed out far before she got home. So when I heard her come back in the house, I woke up for a brief second then passed back out. Well I’m guessing this little awakening led me into a frightening dream. Here we go. So I dreamt that Laura came in the house with 5 or 6 friends, I got nervous they would come into my room so I got up, ran to my bedroom door to shut it, then fell head first into my hamper, butt.ass.naked. All her friends saw and stared at my bum and the goods as I flailed around hoping to get out of the hamper. Thank god none of this ever happened.
After all this jazz of a dream occurred, I woke up. And I woke up with a vengeance. I woke up choking. I think I literally scared the air out of myself. Straight up no air into my lungs. I couldn’t breathe. I sounded like a bugel horn. I don’t know what that sounds like. But that’s how I imagine it. Took me about 30 seconds to be able to breathe again. Then I sat there, frightened by the sound of myself, on the end of my bed, wondering what the f*ck just happened.
That story sucked.
I figured something out. Something I kind of already knew. Whole Foods on a Sunday night. OMGhotdudes. I stood in line and pretty much checked the guy out behind me approximately 46 times, none of which he noticed. I suck. I see why all the women in Whole Foods wear heels while at the store. They’re on the prowl. I need to work on what I dress myself in. I had a headband on, with spandex, no makeup, searching for some sort of delicious source of fat. That wasn’t covered in chocolate. I miss you chocolate. Only 3 more weeks.
OMG I’m excited to find out what the 3rd wod is for the CrossFit Open!! Are you?!

Creamed honey is god. Next time, go below the oil level
This entire website is such a great way to keep the paleo diet fun and interesting, meats,veggies,nuts, and fruit do get old after a while, thank you for this contribution to the crossfit community this way and the humor rocks also!
Thanks Austin!! Paleo is so serious sometimes…just not in my world
These are amazing!! First thing I’ve made of yours so far. Just transitioned from 5 years of gluten-free to grain-free/ paleo this weekend. Thanks!!
Glad you liked it!!
I have been craving Apple pie since going Paleo and this has just satisfied that!! These are AMAZING! I raced down stairs this morning to have them for breakfast 🙂 Your recipes are creative, simple and best of all gourmet delicious! You Rock Juli!
Glad this helped Laurie!
Ummm…yum! So good and just like apple pie. Love these little bars!
Made this today but had to use cashew butter cuz I’m out of almond butter. Still AMAZING!!!
perfect…especially since my oven blew up!
made this so many times now and have eaten it in place of a meal. i know…bad of me…
Haha! I noticed the hot dudes at Whole Foods too but usually around 5pm during the week. I told myself that I need to dress up more in the future. Guess I’m not the only one with that bright idea.
Made these for dessert for the 4th, doubled it into a 9x 13 since we were having a lot of family over. Unfortunately, or maybe not, only one other person tried them, so we have a ton of leftovers! They were so good. Hubby made some paleo vanilla ice cream, better than apple pie and ice cream! Thanks for another great recipe!
