Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky
OK, so I'm into letters to inanimate objects lately!
Dear Ms. Cute Jeans,
First I want to thank you. Thank you Ms. Cute Jeans for making me feel like I looked cute on Thanksgiving and again on Christmas. Thank you for fitting me and not giving me a muffin top, and thank you for not making me feel self conscious. Most of all thank you for showing the progress of my hard work better than Mr. Scale. I have enjoyed you thoroughly in our short time together.
I realize that I have always treated you rather tenderly. Washing you carefully and never putting you in the dryer for fear of shrinkage. Please do not be alarmed if I now wash you in hot water and put you through the dryer in an effort to keep you around a little longer. Think of it as a spa. You must understand that the budget doesn't allow for new jeans right now and plus, you're just so stinkin cute. But you know that already.
I genuinely enjoy feeling skinny when I put you on now. However, you are positively falling off of me; it just doesn't look very nice. We will hope shrinkage will occur. If not, I will be sad when I give you away. But no tears. Leave in triumph, knowing you have completed your mission here and will move on to bless someone else.
With Love,
Kat (aka the chick in the baggy jeans)
I can totally relate to this letter! I just had to shrink a pair of jeans yesterday and it was a feeling of triumph.
ReplyDeleteI just started floowing your blog and I want to say congrats on a blog well done.
Good for you! Your jeans will be happy for the time spent on your body and happier for you moving on to their smaller counterpart:)
ReplyDeleteAwwww.... :)
ReplyDeleteNice to have clothes that make you look/feel good.
Even nicer when they become too big. WooT!
So funny and SO true!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is such a cute tribute! A spa! TOO FUNNY! Excellent piece of writing. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI sent my last pair of baggy jeans to another blogger in need. It was a nice feeling that my old baggies could make someone else feel HOT AND SKINNY! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Such a great feeling. I have to buy my jeans at Costco right now because I'm going through sizes so fast. $15-20 is my max!
ReplyDeleteHow funny. What a great feeling when you are trying to shrink your jeans!!! Great job :)
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought that shrinking clothes could be a good thing? Glad you and your jeans are happy in your relationship!
ReplyDeleteI think your pants need an elastic belt.
ReplyDeleteOr suspenders.
Works for men. :P
Your post seriously just made me laugh out loud! I am pumped to hear that your jeans are kidding bigger. Sounds like someone's doing something right. Keep the good work up!
ReplyDeleteI entirely giggled outloud as well.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS.
