| | | | Happy Friday and Cheers to 2017! | | | 2017 is coming to a close and it's time to take a step back and look through some of the best of the year. Let's start with some of my favorite recipes that I've made multiple times throughout the year because I've loved them so much: Mexican Pumpkin Soup Edible Cookie Dough Bites Pumpkin Pie Cookie Crisp Steak Tips Hash My Spin on Pastelón Greek Yogurt Fluffy Waffles (+Cooking Video!) Taco Lasagna Casserole Breakfast Fried Rice Watermelon Jalapeño Margaritas Chimichurri Steak Tostadas Coffee Rubbed Steak Tacos Honey Mustard Chicken Skewers Chocolate Chip Raspberry Shortbread Cookie Bars Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf Basil Tangerine Pound Cake Spring Vegetable Lemon Basil Pasta Strawberry Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies Instant Pot Taco Stuffed Potatoes Pad Thai Casserole Mocha Hazelnut Energy Balls Thai Basil Beef Instant Pot Remake – Smoky Bacon Chili But things other than just food happened. I traveled all over the place and did recaps of all those wonderful places! Phoenix, San Diego, Dallas, Costa Rica, Aspen, Santa Ynez Valley, The Caribbean, Boise, Lake Powell, Walla Walla, Boulder, Austin, and Tulum! I partnered with amazing companies like American Express, ButcherBox, Whole Foods, Taza Chocolate, Vital Farms, Nuts.com, Aaptiv, Tula, Manitoba Harvest, Cratejoy and Larabar. And I was also lucky enough to work with truly amazing brands and businesses like Nordstrom, ModCloth, Backcountry, eBay, Nike, thredUP, Express, Lolë, thirdlove, Finish Line, Abercrombie & Fitch, luluelmon, Sole Society and Outdoor Voices. I also created my first pair of leggings, shared 10 Things I Learned in the First Year of Marriage, recorded 49 episodes of my podcast, I began recording cooking videos and have 6 new ones so far, I created a Denver series with my Favorite Things To Do, Best Places To Stay and my Favorite Restaurants, plus I did a Grocery Store Staple Series with Whole Foods and Natural Grocers, plus I started sharing more beauty posts and videos! 2017 was wonderful and I can't wait to improve in 2018. I already have big plans to make an even better experience for you on the blog and I can't wait to see if I can bring that vision to life! I truly hope you loved at least one post on the blog and I've helped bring some sort of sunshine into your day in some small way. I cannot thank you enough for following me and supporting PaleOMG. You are amazing and you continue to inspire me to grow, evolve, and improve. So THANK YOU for another year!! See you in 2018! Happy Eating, Reading and Listening!

- Juli | | Brand Spankin' New PaleOMG Recipe! | | | What You May Have Missed Last Week! | | | Don't Miss The Other Fun Stuff on PaleOMG! | | |  | Weekly Workouts This week in my Weekly Workouts, I talk about changing up my fitness routine. I've been doing Orange Theory for quite a while now, but I found myself feeling a little bored and less excited about going to class so I decided it was time to move on and to try something different. So now I'm doing CrossFit five times a week and adding in accessory work on the side to work on my legs and bum. I'll be sharing that experience on the blog along with the accessory workouts I create as time goes on! And be sure to check out my instagram because I'm trying to share more of my workouts through videos there! | | Free Travel Workout On Sale Activewear | | |  | When I wasn't sure what I wanted to wear for Christmas Eve dinner, I decided to make it super easy by finding the items I wanted, ordered them online and picked them up a couple hours later at my local Nordstrom. It was so freaking easy! They even have curbside pickup where you can text to have your items delivered to your car! How rad is that? I just learned about this service that Nordstrom offers and I'm officially obsessed. Oh and guess what? These sparkly Christmas Eve booties are now on sale, just in time for NYE! | |  | | The shoe addiction is real this week! And I'm a bit obsessed with the white bootie trend I've been seeing everywhere. So I decided it was time to find the perfect pair. No white after Labor Day is a thing of the past so I'm embracing white in winter and taking chances walking the snowy streets of Denver. Plus, I'm sharing a ton of different white booties you may love! | |  | | Just a couple weeks ago I was in Tulum soaking up some sun, dipping my toes in the sand and exploring a new area. But then...food poisoning set in. I've been to Mexico 6 separate times and I've never gotten sick, so I guess it was my turn. In my newest travel post, I'm breaking down my experience, what I loved, and what I would do differently next time. And since I was sick almost from the start, I give you a list of restaurants I wasn't able to try but were recommended by some amazing readers! | |  | | Colorado's weather has been a bit psycho lately. 12 degrees one day, 50 degrees the next. So instead of dressing up most days, I've stayed in comfortable layers that I can peel off, if needed. Pullovers and slip-on sneakers have become my best friends, especially with all the travel I've been doing lately. And on the blog today, I'm sharing all my favorites that are perfect for throwing on in a hurry and staying comfortable throughout the day! | | Most Popular On Instagram This Week!
