Thanksgiving is just around the corner! If you wanna keep it paleo this year, include my paleo pumpkin pie in your dessert line-up! I use Otto’s cassava flour to make the crust. It’s my new favorite baking flour. It subs 1:1 for wheat flour and has a great texture for baked goods. You have to order it online – but it’s free shipping!
You know what really irks me? When I see Christmas stuff out before Thanksgiving – and people going “Black Friday” shopping on Thanksgiving! Why do people feel like need to skip straight from Halloween to Christmas and forget about Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is an important holiday. We should always be thankful for everything we have in our lives – you never know when it might be taken away. Just some food for thought. I love Christmas too, but let Thanksgiving have it’s day to shine first. And come on, Thanksgiving is awesome, you get to eat all the food!
My Shaved Brussels Sprouts are also the perfect accompaniment to your turkey, potatoes, and cranberries. You may also like my Pumpkin Butter, Chocolate Pudding Pie, and Pumpkin Spice Brownies.
