Ok ok I did it. I washed my hair. AND shaved my legs. I hated every second of it. Especially since it’s now freezing in Colorado. Shaving your legs + goosebumps, blows ass. It’s painful. It’s like constant razor burn throughout every swipe of the razor. But I’m trying, people. I’m trying!
Guess what I decided? This weekend is going to be good. Real good. You know why? Ok, so last night I went out shopping for a Halloween costume and found this awesome black sequin, open back dress. So it’s slutty, but not really because it goes down to my knees in length. I looked through a bunch of the Halloween costumes there, you know, the dirty nurse, dirty Hogwarts, dirty firewoman, but I can’t pull that stuff off. Nor do I want to. It’s freezing, and my ass barely fits into my spandex, let alone a dress that is suppose to cover only half my ass. Imagine how that outfit would look. I’ll help you out: not good.
But before I become a slightly skankified Audrey Hepburn, I’ll be attending an awesome fundraiser. My friend Clark who owns CrossFit South Denver will be hosting a Bears for Kids Charity Competition this Saturday October 27th from 12-4pm. It’s a pretty cool fundraiser, especially since 100% of the proceeds will go to the Denver Children’s Home. And in an attempt to raise even more money for the kids, for every $10 received in donations, Clark and I will do one burpee. Once the total donations are totaled, we will compete to see who can finish the burpees first. So what I’m pretty much is saying, you should come, hang out, work out, and do burpees. Come on, you know you wanna.
Oh and remember how I said the dress went down to my knees. I lied. I just tried it on. My ass took control once again with this dress. It’s real short. Ugh.
Is it pathetic I get goosebumps every time I see the commercials for the last Twilight movie? Wait, don’t answer that.

Just made this for my lunch tomorrow. Cannot wait to eat it 🙂 (snuck a tiny bite and it tasted delish!) Thanks for all the great recipes. You’ve made my transition to Paleo eating much easier over the past 3 months. Thank you, Juli!
Made the Sweet potato basil soup last night…great soup. Added bacon and scallions as a “garnish”
Okay, this is freaking delicious. I made it today in crockpot, and just finished blending it. Going to add some chicken soon, but the first taste was so good, i had to comment right away.
I’m just starting my 28 day paleo challenge, and i’m featuring recipes from your site this week on my blog. Had some zoodles and squoodles last night 😉 Thanks so much for all of the recipes, I can’t wait to try the next five!
****5 stars all the way****
Love this recipe! It is so delicious. I added some roasted chicken after I blended it and it’s a wonderfully filling meal. I just put another crock pot full on, doubled it this time. I like my soup a bit thinner so I used 4 cups homemade chicken broth instead of vegetable since it is all I had and like I said, I am making double. I threw in some leftover mashed cauliflower from the other night and I have plenty of leftover roast chicken to add later. I’m not a big fan of leftovers but I think this soup is the perfect recipe to use up those leftover veggies and meat. I tried to give it 5 stars but I’m posting from my phone and it won’t let me :-(.
Love, love, love this soup! So tasty and so insanely easy to make. Thank you 🙂
I made this today with homemade chicken stock instead of the vege, and it was delicious, thank you! When I make it next time I’ll dial down the basil a bit and add more if needed. Easy to make, yummy to eat!
Having a very restricted kitchen on deployment overseas, this was a perfect recipient! Fast to throw in the crockpot and didn’t have to cook all day. It was awesome with only left over!
YUM! Can’t wait to try this!
Why you have to cook for 3 hours?
Because the sweet potatoes are raw
Hey! So I currently have pulled pork in my crockpot for your pulled pork and caramelized mashed plantain recipe 🙂 I frequently make mashed sweet potatoes by peeling, cubing, and boiling them for 3 minutes in a pot of boiling water. I am a little nervous to try it that way because I don’t want to waste any ingredients.. but I think it will work just the same. What do you think??
it would work the same
