Catch Up!

Sorry about this!  We ended up watching movies till 3:00 in the morning.  We didn't wale up till after 10 this morning!

Saturday was spent doing some cooking, watching TV and cross-stitching.  I did finally make a recipe that I wanted to do at Thanksgiving, put it off till Christmas and still didn't get it made.  I guess today was the day and here is the recipe.  It is clean and boy it is good!



Paleo Pie Crustprint

• 2 cups blanched almond flour
• ¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 egg

1. Place flour and salt in food processor and pulse briefly
2. Add coconut oil and egg and pulse until mixture forms a ball
3. Press dough into a 9-inch pie dish
4. Bake at 350° for 8-12 minutes

Makes 1 pie crust

I must tell you to spray your pie plate with Pam or grease it with some coconut oil as my piecrust did stick!  I also did not pre-bake this pie crust.



Paleo Pumpkin Pieprint

• 1 (15 ounce) canned pumpkin puree (or 1½ cup homemade pumpkin puree)
• 3 eggs
• ½ cup coconut milk
• ½ cup honey
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ⅛ teaspoon celtic sea salt
• 1 Paleo Pie Crust, unbaked

1. In a food processor combine pumpkin puree, and eggs
2. Pulse in coconut milk, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt
3. Pour filling into Paleo Pie Crust
4. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes
5. Allow to cool then refrigerate for 2 hours to set up

Makes 1 pie

My filling was thicker than the picture.  It filled a 9-inch pie plate and that is what I recommend you to use.  Mine did not cook in 45 minutes, it took over an hour.  Next time next time I will cook it about 15 minutes at 425 degrees and the lower the temp to 350 for 40-50 minutes till knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.  I hope you will try it.

One other thing.  I think the next time I make it I will add just a little more cinnamon.  Mis the filling without the eggs and taste it to see what you think!

Here are the links that I found for this pie.  I want to give credit to the creator and author!

I don't want to load you up with recipes on this blog post so I will share tomorrow what I made for dinner!  It was delicious!  I don't think I've posted that one!

Today was a lazy day!  We watched TV, didn't cook which means my eating was off a bit.  We did make good choices though.  I cross-stitched while we watched the Oscars and I had to rip it all out because I was off but I did get it all put back in.  I am starting to hate this angel!

Tomorrow is going to be a busy cold day!  I am getting back to the gym!  Thank you Grover, Melanie and Justin.  I also have to get up early to wash my hair!

Better get some sleep!

Till tomorrow!
