Day 11!
Day 11.. we now enter the drudgery time of the 30-day challenge. The initial responses and results we feel seem to have evened out, and the end is NOWHERE in sight!
Who’s got a great recipe that we can all make and rave about? Some totally paleo muffins perhaps? How about someone make this and bring it in for me to eat??
Apple “Pumpkin” Pie
by Pamela Barlett
Pamela’s Note: This recipe uses the natural sweetness of the apples and yams to let you have a traditional pumpkin pie without the sugar.
Ingredients – Crust:
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
Ingredients – Pie Filling:
- 2 to 3 Apples (We recommend Honeycrisp, since they are on the slightly sweeter side)
- 1 3/4 cup steamed and pureed yam/sweet potato
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/4 nutmeg
- 2 beaten eggs
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
Directions:
For the crust: Throughly mix all ingredients together except for the coconut flour. Add the coconut flour in and mix well to form dough. Knead dough for ~1 minute. Roll dough out between sheets of wax paper until it’s big enough to fit the pie dish. In my experience transferring the pie crust usually results in it falling apart to some extent, so just plan on patching it up a little bit once you’ve transferred it.
For the filling: Thinly slice, peel and core apples. Coat with cinnamon and stir. Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine yam, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Beat in eggs gently until just combined. Slowly add coconut milk until combined.
Layer apple slices and pumpkin filling in the pie dish. Bake in a 375 oven for 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

this kale smoothie is saving my life (not a big kale fan but apparently I need to love it to be a real pale kid)
2 C chopped kale
1 banana
1/2 C coconut milk
1 T flaxseed
1 T sunbutter
Made Almond-banana “cake” with my almond flour. It was delicious! Ate it with a bit of organic Apple Butter. I feel like I had dessert!!
Here is the site I go to for recipes:

(I altered the recipe for nut muffins and made a cake.)
Lana! I got your check, thank you! Your flour is at CFPP, just look to the left when you walk in the door, there is a Kroger bag with your name on it. Enjoy!
Taya,
Thank you! I’m going to have to make that Banana Almond Cake and the Apple Pumpkin Pie! I will see how they turn out and bring them in to CFPP
And, here is where I ordered the Almond flour from. They have many different types of flour, nuts and dried foods. Excellent service.

Made this tonight, so good!!! If you don’t eat honey, you can substitute 2 bananas and a bit of pineapple juice for sweetness. Enjoy!

After the 30 days is up, will be transitioning to trying something I stumbled upon from MMA fighter Mike Dolce called Three Weeks to Shredded. More than happy to share the information if anyone is interested.
