I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! One of our family traditions is to go around the table and say what we are thankful for. Of course, I said I was thankful for my beautiful family, my incredible husband who supports me in every way possible, for having such a close-knit family that always gets together for every occasion, no matter how small… and this year I was especially thankful to eat an entire Thanksgiving meal without getting sick! The food was all outstanding, and all of my non-paleo family members LOVED each one of my dishes. My Ginger Snaps and Pumpkin Dip were a huge hit. So was this perfect Paleo Pecan Pie.

For my pie, I used this crust from Elana’s Pantry. Her crust is fantastic. I like to stick with what works.

**Just Like Sugar is a granulated sweetener made with chicory root and orange peel. It can be found on Amazon. If you don’t happen to have it on hand, any granulated sugar will do.
By the way…
There is one more thing I have to be thankful for this year. Our family of three will soon be a family of four! We have a new little bundle of joy on the way. He or she will be joining us July 2014! We could not be more excited. Thank you Lord for your wonderful blessings.
