Anybody else over listening to all this crap about the royal baby? I get it. It’s a big moment. It’s important. But come on. You news stations need to stop. That poor couple. And honestly, I don’t care about the car they took to the hospital, or the door the went in, or what she was wearing to the hospital, or what she was wearing when she left the hospital and how it looked like Princess Diane’s dress. I just don’t care. I wouldn’t even care about those things if it was my best friend. Mostly because new born babies really aren’t that cool to look at. They’re a bit ugly. Anywho. Famous people stuff is weird. I mean, I’m obsessed with the Kardashians, but that’s totally different. It’s not different at all, is it? Sh*t. Moving on.
So I totally keep forgetting to tell you. I won’t be at the CrossFit Games this year. I was planning on going and hanging out in the Again Faster tent, but I have to go to California for some other projects on Monday so my trip would have been much too spread out. Timing just wasn’t right. So sadly, I won’t be able to see all the cool CrossFitting loving people. Gosh darn it. Thankfully, I watch people workout every single day, so I don’t feel like I’m missing out. I’m sad I missed the rowing for 2 hours, that would have been my favorite.
I just lied.
Have you guys watched the show The Mistresses? I had the house to myself the other night, and I was feeling a bit emotionally unstable, so I ate an extreme amount of chocolate while watching multiple episodes. That show is so addicting. I wish I could say that show is unrealistic because people don’t have affairs like that, but I met some sketchy people while working at a fancy schmancy gym. It was also a gym that had a ‘men’s only’ floor. Sexist. And sketch. This conversation just got way too serious.
On a lighter note, I want this bear dance outfit. That’s the best way to describe it. Oh Miley, I love the tunes you create. But you’re not very good at twerking. You’re too skinny silly pants. I still love you, though. More so, the song is what I love.
Oh P.S.- If you had any issues with my Chocolate Chip Protein Muffins that I posted the other day, I remade them and edited the recipe so they should work perfectly fine! I even posted a picture on my @paleomg instagram of how delicious they looked. Sorry about the issues. Sometimes I just need to remake the recipe once more. And I’m happy to since I get to eat those things.
I want some wine with my muffin.

Hey juli,
Not sure which I enjoy more your recipes or your blog rants. Love your honesty, vulnerability, and talents! Please keep up the amazing work. You are an inspiration to me and I find myself finding peace and acceptance of myself in your own insecurities. You are truley beautiful.
My question is I have been on a yoyo for awhile and eating paleo since February. It makes me feel so much better inside and out. What is a good snack ( salty crunchy)if I’m trying to cut down on nuts and fruit.?
plantain chips!
Have you ever tried Plantain Chips? They are so good. I get them at Trader Joe’s in the snack isle. I love them with guacamole.

Juli,
I just had to write this and let you know….YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! I just got your cookbook in the mail today can’t wait to try the new recipes. All the recipes I have made from your website so far have been holy sh*t delicious, I can’t even pick a favorite. Just saying getting to eat your food for lunch is the highlight of my work day. I love reading your blog as well you crack me up and I can definitely relate to a lot of the things you talk about it makes me wish we were friends on a daily basis. Alright now that I have successfully sounded like a creeper, I’m going to go finish reading your cookbook and pick out which recipe to make; on a side note I really hope you keep making these babies because I will buy them.
I can’t believe you just made me watch even 1 second of that Miley video. Gross.
I agree. Good song. Bizarre video. I mean, was that specifically aimed at her father?! Drama, drama, drama!
This. That was just creepy and weird. :/
OMG I thought I was the only one who has watched Mistresses! I’m still waiting for my damn furniture, so I’ve been watching stuff on Hulu and got into this show. The acting is horrible, but the Australian is nice to look at, and it requires no brain power. HA!
This looks awesome! this is going to be next weeks meal plan!
I have added ground beef to the shopping list just so that I can make this recipe!
