I feel so pale!! Well, that’s probably because I am. Damn the winter in Colorado. Even if the sun is pretty much always shining, I still am kind of a creepy color. And seeing my pale self working out in a competition this weekend kind of grossed me out. I just want to have a nice bronze going on. Being tan makes you look more buff. I want to be more buff. Therefore better at CrossFit. Yep, being tan makes you stronger. I just know it.
Speaking of buff people, I competed in a little CrossFit competition this weekend at CrossFit Eminence. Lindsey and her husband Kris did a fantastic job with this competition. It ran smoothly, had some awesome wods programmed, and had super cool athletes competing. Great Saturday. But something did suck. Well, it was the usual suckiness of CrossFit events…No.Single.Dudes. What the hell is that about!? There was one guy I found pretty attractive, then I turned around at some point and he was getting a child strapped to his chest. WHATTHEF*CKISTHAT?! Why do all you attractive men have babies?! Ugh.
Anywho, since there was no chance of me hanging out with a single dude, (especially since I smelt like a dump truck after the competition) I just grabbed a guacamole burger with sweet potato tator tots from Jake’s and ate until I literally couldn’t put anymore food or even water in my gut. I usually can’t eat during competitions because I’m so nervous so dinner was balls to the walls. So I had to fast on Sunday to cleanse the gut. I lasted until I had to start making some Super Bowl food to get you guys all ready to go for the big game. We all know I’m sure as hell not watching it. The only reason I knew the Super Bowl was almost here was because of Laura. You can thank her for the fun treats on the way this week. SUPERBOWLFOODYEAH!
I drank 3 coconut waters in 2 days this weekend. I got some sugar bloat going on. SUGARBLOATBABYYEAH!
Wanna know how lucky I am. Just look below.

Seriously on the dudes tip. wtf. Is everyone married? I’ve had the same thing happen to me several times recently. I actually find someone attractive (which is very rare. I live in Pennsylvania), and then oh look, there is their wife/kid/girlfriend/boyfriend/baby mama, whatever. I’m OVER it JB, over it.
Same here Allison. So over it. Ok, not really, I still want to meet a wicked cool dude
This look amazing, as usual. You’re like famous at our gym. You’ve been on our site a few times this week!
What gym do you go to Ali??
CFNYC 🙂
This looks hella tasty. Also I gotta say, I’m in Colorado too and it’s still really nothing but sun where I am. You must be buried under a snow bank in the mountains somewhere.
Oh there is plenty of sun in lil ole Denver, butttt doesn’t mean I’m getting a tan from it!
This looks amazing. I can’t wait to try it out. I’m in Australia and can’t seem to find spaghetti squash here, but I’m thinking I’ll make some “pasta” ribbons out of zucchini. Thanks!
That totally stinks Laura!! They are up the wazoo here. Zucchini would definitely be delicious as well!!
2 very important things: One: you’re a total badass! We did the snatch/ball slam/box jump WOD from this weekend and it was freaking hard! Smoking time Juli!! Second: I love, love, love your recipes! This was so creamy and delicious! My kids even loved it! Can’t wait to see what you’ve got up your sleeve for the SuperBowl! Keep the posts coming and thank you!! 🙂
Thanks so much Amber! Just wait for the next few days, I think I have a least a couple delicious things coming!
Seriously.F’ing.Delicious. FAVS!
Juli –
I’m a couple of days behind here.
First – “Why do all you attractive men have babies?!” Is that a serious question? Cause and effect working, I think. It works the same with women. My wife is a prime example.
Second – spaghetti squash – you can microwave them and they taste/texture exactly the same as using the oven. Put a couple or 3 holes in a whole SS and microwave for about 10 minutes. Cut in half and easily scoop out the seeds. Quick and easy. I love those things.
Third – Sunflower has all their chicken sausage on sale for $2/lb this week.
Thanks for the tip Steve!! And please don’t ever get behind on the posts. Come on bro!
Amahhhhhhhhhzing! My grocery store had no spaghetti squash this week so I used baked eggplant instead. Delish!
No single dudes is right, my box is promoting a “Valentine’s Day Couples WOD” Kill. Me. Now.
No spaghetti squash?!?! Bastards. I think I may officially hate your gym.
I loved every recipe I’ve tried of yours…except this one! Maybe it’s the tarragon…hmmm….. Well anyways, I love your blog and recipes!
Oh no!! That totally blows Jennifer. I still love you and thanks for still trusting my other recipes!!
I am making this for dinner tonight!!! I am sooo excited to try it…. I love your blog. Keep up the great work Juli!
Thanks so much Lori!! Let me know how it turns out!
JULI!!!! OMG! Yoi’re a genius. I love this dish. I will be making this again.. and again!
Glad you liked it Lori!!!
