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.

I cant wait to make this for my non paleo eating family!! Just bought all the ingredients! Thank you!!
I just put this in the oven! I had to because I kept taking spoonfuls of the filling! It tasted amazing! Can’t wait to bite into a slice of this pie tomorrow. Thanks for such a great GF/dairy-free recipe! 🙂
Making this tonight for tomorrow’s Thanksgiving dinner. I’m sure I’m not alone in this. Mmmmm. I’ve been using your Thanksgiving recipes for two years in a row now! Last year was the Thanksgiving pumpkin cheesecake!!! Thank you for your amazing recipes and witty blog posts 🙂
I have this in the oven RIGHT NOW. I can’t wait. I haven’t had pie in forever!
pie made. eaten without sharing.
thanks x a million. 🙂
The idea was good, however my crust burnt as well and tasted horrible! im not sure if it was the burnt molasses maybe? The filling was really good, to eggnoggy for me so next i will just use coconut milk, but the crust did not work for us 🙁
OMG, I made this pie (but with my own crust, ’cause we don’t have molasses), and it is SO GOOD! this was my first paleo thanksgiving, and I was really bummed about no pumpkin pie, because pumpkin pie is the best, but then you posted this recipe, and my thanksgiving dessert was saved! So, thank you 😀
I made this the night before Thanksgiving and the crust totally burned…even the bottom. I talked to another friend that had the same problem. Luckily I was determined and made the pie again the next morning, but with a different crust. SO freaking delicious!!…Any idea why your yummy sounding crust burned? I followed instructions completely.
so sorry about that!! i truly don’t know. my crust didn’t burn whatsoever but a couple people have said the same thing
Marvelous pie! Thank you Juli, we all loved it, the kids gobbled it up with relish 🙂
