I’m becoming obsessed with HGTV.
So it’s weird being back in a normal globo gym. I’ve been comfortable with my Crossfit gym for 3 years now. I’ve met some of my best friends in those gyms I’ve worked and worked out in. But I was never really hit on at any of those gyms. Probably because I was screaming at those guys about pushing their knees out during their squats or maybe because I just don’t ooze sex appeal. Either way, my Crossfit gyms haven’t been filled with creeps. Well, I’m experiencing the creepy side again. During spin class. The last thing I want to do is speak during spin class, let alone talk to some large male who screams creep with shorts that are similar to boxers. Loose boxers. No one should spin in those. Globo gyms are weird.
Instagram is funny. And intense. Most food pictures I post, people have something to say about them. Especially since I call myself paleo, but I don’t abide by paleo “standards”. Since I make desserts, or because I eat corn sometimes, or since I drink alcohol, or because I use a microwave. I just like to live life on the edge. I really don’t mind that people sometimes hate me for what I eat, especially because it’s very interesting to see how many different opinions there are out there, but geeeeeeez do people have opinions. Like, really intense opinions. Then people fight each other about a picture I posted. And all hell breaks loose. Not really. But people, stop getting angered by my food. It’s delicious. No wait, get mad. It’s kind of fun.
Guess what else is fun? I head to California today. Yep, another trip. Thankfully I had a little over a week to recover from my trip to D.C., so now I’m heading to the west coast instead. Which is honestly one of my favorite places to visit. I thought about living in California for a long time, but Colorado is too close to my heart. So instead, I’ll be heading out there regularly to work on a project. It’s exciting. I’ll tell you about it later, though. Pinky swear promise.

I can’t wait to try this! It looks awesome. And as far as haters go, screw em! Your recipes rock!
Yummy! have a left over pork chop and was wondering what to eat w/ it. might have to make these :))))
Do you think subbing almond flour for coconut flour would work? I’ve recently developed a severe nut intollerance.
wait! youre not going to cf anymore?!?
these look good – I’ll have to try them! I was wondering also if you could sub coconut flour in for almond flour.
My gym is nice because it’s kind of small. The same people go there at the same time so we’ve all checked each other out already. We just leave each other alone thankfully. If these are anything like your broccoli fritters I can’t wait to make them. I love those broccoli fritters!
Those look great! I will prob end up making them sometimes soon, like most of your recipes. Your 21DSD Carrot Cake Pudding has been keeping me alive the past two weeks. Anyways, I don;t know why so many people give a poop what you eat. Who cares?!?!
I have been following your blog for a while now. Just want to say thanks so much for all of your awesome recipes! My favorite is your sweet potato brownies. Even my seven year old son loves them! He has no idea that they are made from sweet potatos, but says they are the best brownies ever!
I made these tonight alongside steamed fish and asparagus and they were GREAT! I finished them off with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice and it brought out all of the flavors. Thank you so much!
Julie – I made these for breakfast AND dinner for the hubby (side dish). They were DELICIOUS! Thanks so much for another wonderful recipe. Keep up the fantastic work…you are such an inspiration! And I could care less if you use a microwave. Or drink alcohol =P
