Hey, y’all. 🙂
Sorry it’s been a while.
January is a slow month for my business. I’ve been using the time to do taxes and restock so when it picks up this month I’ll be ready to go.
If I wasn’t getting a refund I would have seriously given some thought to not filing myself. 😉
Also I hadn’t written about this yet but after I’d made 100 out of 104 days of dairy free…I tried adding dairy back. I ate if for a week and let’s just say that my body rebelled big time.
I’m back off of it now and feeling a lot better.
Because of that I haven’t done any kitchen experimenting since we last met.
Did make a pressure pot of short ribs yesterday. They were so good. The gravy is the arrowroot thickened pan juices. This was also one of my higher carb days so yes, those are potatoes. 🙂
JKR…taking out the garbage one tweet at time. 🙂
Decided to try the Siete chips. Right choice. 🙂 They are totally worth it. Totally. These are nacho flavor but they have no dairy at all. That’s a bowl of ‘Frito’ pie…subbing the grain free tortilla chips for the Fritos. I don’t add the chips to the bowl all at once though I just do it a couple at a time so they don’t get too soggy.
So I ordered a sample box of Eating Evolved primal chocolate goods.
It comes boxed with a bow and they included two extra bars as a little gift. If you like dark chocolate most of this stuff is pretty good. Well, what I’ve tried of it anyway. I’ve tried the green bar (72% dark chocolate), the red bar (72% dark chocolate with almonds) and the banana cream cups. I don’t particularly enjoy dark chocolate but I’m trying. 🙂
The one thing I didn’t like AT ALL was the hot chocolate. I couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth for hours. It is super duper bitter and definitely not for someone who is just learning to like dark chocolate.
I’ll let y’all know what I think of the remaining items as I try them. I only allow stuff like this a couple times a week though.
Thank you, Nordstrom. 🙂
We have to keep the pressure on these businesses, y’all. Let them know we won’t spend one cent in their stores if they support or give these monsters an outlet. #GrabYourWallet
More so than ever right now it’s up to each of us to be the good to counter all the hate and garbage. 🙂

Dear democrat senate and house members, over the last 6 years…every.single.day…the republican led senate acted out a ‘youtube-esque’ tutorial on government obstruction for y’all in living color. Take their blueprint and run, y’all. Obstruct this shit in every conceivable way (and some ways y’all don’t even know of yet). Love and thanks, Texas Girl. 🙂
Also…if anybody in Texas wants to join us click that pic above and it should link to battle ground texas. 🙂
New current pic. Went shopping with Mama B and Sister B this past weekend. When I saw that seated picture I seriously asked them if I really look like that. I struggle so much with seeing myself as I really am. In my mind I still look much larger and I’m still automatically drawn to tent like clothes. Automatically I pick up big baggy stuff. Every time. Why is that?
I know part of it is style choice. I love flowy / boho / hippy stuff but it’s really more that I just can’t see myself as anything other than huge. It’s so annoying. So if you see me in person and wonder why I’m wearing something 97 sizes too big…that’s why. I’m working on it. 🙂
Anyway…that’s all for today.
Y’all have a great super bowl weekend and I’ll see you soon. 🙂
