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.

Wow, what a super easy, delicious sauce! I didn’t have any chicken sausage or spinach, so I just used these lamb meatballs: http://www.primal-palate.com/2012/02/lemon-lamb-meatballs-with-garlic-and.html and it was awesome!! Thyme goes so well with spaghetti squash, doesn’t it? Yum!
Yummmm!! Thyme is awesome in everything

Oops! Got a bit excited above! Just made this sans meat while visiting my folks for the weekend. It was a hit with the vegetable eaters of the house! LOVE!

Just saw this recipe and went to the store. I was all excited and then I realized I bought the normal carton coconut milk. Will this work just as good? 🙁
I’m really not sure Jenna, I just don’t think it will be quite as creamy…
Holy crap! this was the most amazing meal ever! Neither of us wanted the meal to end. So freaking good! Thank you thank you thank you! We used beef sausage which was a left over from last night.
