Recipe fails and Cauliflower Crust Pizza...!

I tried to modify Paleo Fig Fudge balls... 
I got mixed responses on this one from my xfit friends... I think they were just being nice. The coco on the outside was a little too bitter. I liked it because it prevented me from consuming 10 in a row... and they sort of look like truffles. Sort of?

 Then I wanted to try it with Almonds. 
This picture makes me laugh. My food processor does not like almonds and plums together. Didn't even get past the first step. Oh yeah, I used plums instead of figs because they're cheaper :). I think the plums are equally as good, but they are stickier. Fail fail fail.

Then my awesome WOD buddy and wonderful friend, Christie, shared her Chocolate Coconut Bark. SOOOOO good! Like, crack good. Thank God I only had a sample of this to eat with all of my invisible roommates. I would have single handedly consumed this whole recipe.
Whole foods pumpkin soup... YUM. And their barbecue chicken :). 

I went to my best friend's little brother's Bat Mitzvah. Very cool! I learned that the Torah is written upside down and the pages are backwards. This led to confusion and embarrassment in the back row of the Synagogue. Between dropping the Torah, the Rabbi interrupting the service to ask it be picked up, and dropping the challah bread at the end of the service, the back row was earning some serious points in the Jewish community. Anyways, I cheated at dinner. They put this in front of me. What was I supposed to do?!
I was out of a lot of things this morning, so I ate apples and eggs for breakfast? It was actually pretty good! Then I went skiing and to Pazzo's for lunch. I became extremely bitter when my Mom got to consume this calzone while I ate a salad and vegetable soup. W. T. eF. 
So I remembered this wonderful recipe I found on pinterest for Cauliflower Crust Pizza!!! I made this for dinner. Not quite the real deal, still delicious and SUPER easy! Not good if you don't do dairy though.
The snow storm was super fun this weekend! I loved shoveling my car out for exercise instead of going to crossfit. Then when I came home the next morning there was a foot more of snow. Then God invented boyfriends. I love you, God.


This post is a little heavy on the desserts. Whops :).

Who I Would Be

I am sort of obsessed with Elizabeth Gilbert. I think we have similar souls (I think a lot of people feel that way about her). I read "Eat, Pray, Love" and "Committed," and I cannot wait for her new book, "The Signature of All Things," coming out in October. I think she's quite brilliant. However, my favorite quote ever from her is not out of one of her books; it is the response to a question someone asked on her Facebook page. They asked what advice she would give her younger self: "Dearest Younger Liz — I know you believe that romance is the most exciting and important thing on earth, but please lay off the boyfriend drama for a little while, would you? Learn to live alone. Learn to endure the sometimes agonizing unease of your own company—and work your way through that unease. Learn to comfort yourself. Learn to take accountability for yourself. Learn to recognize the difference between where you stop and another person begins. Learn to te

So I saw this quote on pinterest. Good old pinterest. I learn so much on there... like how to waste time. And how to make delicious desserts, like these. If you want the links just look on my pinterest page. I have some serious food porn on there. Anyways, I have been in this debate with myself about how much information is too much information? Do people actually want to know my reflections on life? The reason I read PaleOMG religiously is more so because of the honest writing than the recipes. I love the recipes, obviously, but it's why I choose to read that blog over any other blog. So anyways, I guess I am going to try to write about what I am inspired by. I have been reflecting a lot on paleo eating recently. It was my 1 month anniversary yesterday!  (of eating paleo that is). Here's the deal. If you asked me two weeks ago if I was going to stick with it, I would have told you in a super whiny voice, "I cannot freaking wait until this stupid experiment i

So I had a really sad experience yesterday. I walked into a Starbucks to go study and I wasn’t allowed to eat a cake pop. Worse, the barista told me he had just got the brownies out just for me! I must look like I like chocolate a lot. Or maybe, like I said before, most women like chocolate so he made an assumption. Anyways, I decided in that moment that I must make these Paleo Fig Fudge Balls . It’s about substitutions friends! And I have been meaning to make a really delicious dessert lately because I promised my dear friend Katy I would send her some love in the form of food. She lives in OK. It’s really sad. Don’t get me started. BTW, she also has a blog . She’s extremely intelligent. I learn about issues I didn’t even know existed. I added coconut milk to my sweet potatoes in the morning because it was a little dry without. Good move Danielle. This was delicious. (and then I put the spinach and eggs on top) Then I ate this “blackened salmon.” Yeah, I know. It’s not blackened,
