There are no chips involved in this dish. Nothing really THAT crispy. And you eat these with a fork. Well I guess you don’t have to, but sh*t would get messy. So really, these are nothing like nachos. But they caught your attention, didn’t they? Please keep reading, I’m sorry I’m an asshole. This dish should definitely be considered your dessert for your party. You could also make some fudgy brownies, or fig fudge balls, or chocolate coconut bark to satisfy your big game day guests. They will never know it’s paleo. And if they don’t like them, you have sh*tty friends. It’s just fact.
So I’ve figured something out. I often think about the many traits a man must have for me to pay any attention to him. Obviously, Colorado men are lacking these traits since I haven’t noticed any yet…or is it they haven’t noticed me? Sh*t, I think I just burned myself. Anywho, I’ve figured out that among these many traits, one is vastly important. A man’s smell. I want the man I fall in love with to smell like Gain detergent. Plain and simple. I’m not even kidding. I’m exactly like the commercials. I just bought some today and sat by the washing machine just smelling the detergent before I poured it on in. That can’t be healthy. But really, I don’t care about cologne, I’m cool with the smell of sweat, but if a man walks by me and smells like clean laundry, my heart skips a beat. I can’t wait to meet my laundry smelling, crossfitting, food loving man. Jesus, I need to go on a date.
It’s going to snow tonight in Colorado. I’m sad. I was running in shorts and a tank top just the other day, proudly showing my pale legs to any unforgiving eye, and now I must cover up. Put on my fake Ugg boots because I sure as hell ain’t paying $200 to walk in puddles. And wear a couple sweaters that I’m just going to sweat through since I seem to sweat even when cold. Damn you Colorado. Damn you armpits. Damn you.

I’m really beginning to picture you looking constantly moist with all your talk about sweat.
Not that glistening is a bad thing.
Moist was definitely an interesting word choice.
Just to let you know, my brother is an amazing, handsome, food loving crossfitter, and we eat Paleo and both think you’re hilarious. Just sayin…if you ever want to come to Philadelphia for a date I think I could hook it up!
Only if he buys me a philly cheese steak. That was totally unoriginal. I apologize.
Just wanted to say that you and your recipes are awesome! I’m a new crossfitter and looking to start eating semi-paleo, and I’m so happy I found your website! Thanks for the laughs and the yummy foods!
Yay!! Glad you like it Juli!!
Oh, and I spell my name just like you! I got really excited to know there’s another juli without an e out there somewhere!
Juli’s unite!!! BUT my real name is Julienne. So we are just a little different. I still like you though.
a list of comments…(since you love lists)
1. those “nachos” look amazing. i wish i had apples right now, but maybe it’s a good thing that i don’t, because i would eat the whole thing before sunday. (coughTONIGHTcough)
2. aren’t fake uggs called fuggs? 🙂 (i’m from texas. some people wear them unnecessarily)
3. justin–glistening is hot.
Lol i absolutely love you Katie. Lists are so much easier to read through. I am going to say fuggs every day.
You are killing me on this one! Geesh. I love those flavors! High carb but healthy. Have to wait a bit to have this one.
I love carbs.
This looks pretty good! :). Will be substituting my all time fav Buffalo Wings with this on Sunday. Super Bowl will be more fun then :D. Btw, an interesting article on Super Bowl snacks http://www.ifood.tv/network/super_bowl_snack
Thanks Foodie!
these apple pie nachos sound interesting!
Interesting meaning awesome…yes!!
Men everywhere are changing their degergents as we speak. 🙂 Maybe you’ll get a Gain corporate sponsorship?
HA! smart men. gain would be insanely smart if they sponsored me. i would smell like heaven. and maybe get more dates that way. meaning A date.
Your blogs = The Bees Knees. Seriously. So freeeaking hilarious/true! I think I may have met you once or twice up at UNC. I hungout with Kaitlin Sanders a lot and she loved to rant and rave about you. So maybe we never technically met, but we basically did thanks to Kaitlin’s stories, haha. Anywho, Tom talked me into trying out Crossfit a couple months ago at the one in Lakewood, and I L-O-V-E-D it. My only issue is the financial burden of this kick-ass sport. I am currently in nursing school, babysitting occasionally to make a little bit of skrilllllla, and the parental figures don’t think Crossfit is in the budget right now. Do you know of any places that offer student discounts? Or do like a 3 days/week package that I may be able to afford?
I remember you Jessie!! CrossFit can definitely be a financial stressor. You should email me! Just check out your about me page and maybe we can find some place that would work for you!!
