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.

Came out perfectly! I followed Sue’s advice and cooked it 20 plus minutes on the stove top to really render all the juices out of the veggies. Then 35 min in the oven and then let stand 10 minutes on stovetop.
Also diced instead of shredding the vegetables and left the cayenne pepper out so my daughter would eat it.
I served it by itself – didn’t seem to require an accompaniment, other than a fresh garden salad on the side.
Great recipe!
This is a greatrecipe, but it was way too spicy for my family. I doubled the meat but did not double the spices. I ended up adding another large can of tomatoes to cut through the heat. That helped a lot but it is still spicy. I will make this again, but cut back on the cayenne. Other than that, this recipe is a keeper! Thanks!
I made this for dinner last night. SUPER GOOD!! Thank you so much for the recipe. I did use olive oil instead of the bacon grease and ground turkey instead of beef. The whole family enjoyed it!
This was my first ever paleo recipe! And I think it came out great. It was a little spicy (which I don’t mind) but the coriander really got me… I’ve never cooked with it before and apparently I have the little coriander balls (or seeds?) which killed the awesome taste swimming around in my mouth. I started digging them out if I could see them because it just got to be too much. Overall I’m pleasantly surprised! I also did it with turkey and the juiciness of the veggies helped keep the turkey from getting dry. Thanks for sharing!
I love your blog!
I made this last night and it was amazing, it was extremely yummy and tasty. I had to keep staring at the oven waiting for it to finish baking. Thanks for this recipe.
Thank you Juli for another quick delicious recipe. The squash & meatballs are to die for!!!! My son tried the recipe first and told me how good it was. We will both be making it again and again!!
This was so goo! My new favorite! Thanks for simple recipes I can actually cook.
This was also too spicey for us! I thought it turned out fine otherwise. Would definitely recommend cutting ALL spices in half for those that do not like spicey- or spicey that blows off taste buds.
Delicious recipe!! So glad I read the comments before I made it…I halfed all spices and my lips are still burning 🙂 Very good though.
