PUMPKIN PIEEEEEEEE!! It’s so weird when people don’t like pumpkin pie. I’m still friends with those kinds of people, but it’s hard. Pumpkin pie should be eaten all year round, but it really only feels normal during fall. When it’s freezing out. And it’s freezing here. So I’m hibernating and stuffing my face. And what’s better during the winter than pumpkin pie? OHHHH. Almond milk egg nog. Yep, that’s right. I found some at Whole Foods and loved it. Califia Farms has almond milk egg nog with ingredients that don’t bother me. So I added that to my pumpkin pie. Happy me.
OMG I saw Catching Fire this weekend. If you’ve never heard of The Hunger Games trilogy, you must not have a tv or know how to read books. Which is strange, since you’re reading this post. Either way, I saw the second movie from the Hunger Games trilogy and it was awesome. It was even better than the first one. And it was even more exciting because I hadn’t read the books in forever, so I really had no idea what was going on. Which kind of sucked since I had to pee the entire movie. Those blood curdling screams would get me every time. And I would jump…but thankfully I have a pretty strong bladder. I haven’t peed while doing double unders yet. That’s proof, right? So I didn’t pee during the screams. But I felt a lot of anxiety throughout the movie.
That just got weird.
Just FYI, I finished the entire first season of Homeland. Disappointed with the season finale, but I will go on. Meaning I’ve already watched the first two episodes of the second season. Do you think Carrie is actually crazy in real life? How is she so good with the crazy eyes? How does that just come normal. Creepy.
I wish I had more to tell you. But that is all. So I’m going to go eat more pie. While I watch Homeland.

My husband FINALLY agreed to go paleo with me and one of his complaints was that he wouldn’t be able to have pumpkin pie during the holidays. ha! In your face husband. Awesome recipe!
Hello!
I do not have easy access to a Whole Foods or other store that would have almond milk eggnog. I am sure it won’t be quite as yummy, but could I just use regular vanilla almond milk instead?
Thank you!
yes. or make your own eggnog. there is a link to make that in the recipe
Definitely will be making this for thanksgiving. You are a genius!!
If I was your friend in real life I would happily eat pumpkin pie all year round with you!!!
catching fire was amazing!! i saw it last night and i wish it was longer. it’s rare that “book movies” have a better sequel than the first movie but it was like 1000 times better. i hadn’t read the books in years so i forgot everything that was happening. joanna was my favorite- probably because we have the same name.
your pie looks awesome, too!! i haven’t had egg nog in years but it’s so delicious. i think i need to get some. i’m making a crustless pumpkin pie which could be a disaster but i’m hoping for the best.
Luckily, I bought enough pure pumpkin puree at the supermarket two days ago to allow me to make every single one of your awesome pumpkin themed deserts. MMMmmmMMM… I can’t wait!!!!!
Can I use honey or pure maple syrup in place of coconut sugar? Not sure if those are Paleo though.
i’m not sure if the liquid sweetener would change the consistency, so i can’t say
I used honey instead of coconut sugar… and it just came out of the oven. I’ll let you know how it turns out! Cheers!
balls. i want this right meow
Do you think It would work just as well if I substituted the coconut sugar with honey? Or maybe Sucanat?
i’m not sure if the liquid sweetener would change the consistency, so i can’t say
So Molasses isn’t Paleo… Can you use Maple Syrup instead?
I was going to make a pecan-crusted one, but I think I like this better.
Also, my Pick n Save has a Califia farms almond milk eggnog. Just in case anyone else was wondering where they can find it outside of Whole Foods. 🙂
Thanks for the recipe, Julie!
