Paleo Pi Day

Finally, the best day of the year! Of the millennium, even! It's Pi Day! And we had pie! Well, ok, to be technical, it was a Paleo apple tart.... and it was delicious! 


See that crust? It's pecans! I am continually amazed by my awesome food processor. I just pulsed some pecans (1 1/2 cups) til they were crumbled, added 1 T coconut flour, 1/4 tea. salt, and an egg and pulsed until it became a ball. So easy! 

Then I spread it in a 9 inch pie pan (after oiling with coconut oil). Next time I'm going to add a couple dates and pulse them in with the pecans to sweeten it up a little. 

I figured an apple "pie" would be easiest. That's 4 apples, 1 T honey, 1 T coconut flour, and 1 T lemon juice. 

I baked for an hour at 350, covered with foil except for the last 10 minutes. 

I put sharp cheddar cheese on mine, and Steve ate his plain. .It would be good with whipped cream too. The pecan crust is kind of awesome. It would work with pumpkin too (as the original link suggests) and probably lots of other things. 

I went to yoga again this morning where I didn't quite manage the crane pose, and she corrected me a few times, which makes me wonder if I do the moves at home, with a video, how much am I actually getting right?! I'm sure the stretch is still good, but I'm apparently far from a yogi, and I'm starting to think there might be something wrong with my arms because apparently I can't hold them out straight without pushing them up or forward or some other wonky configuration that feels right, but really really isn't! At least I look good screwing up! Very graceful.
