Paleo Coconut, Lime & Chocolate Pie

On a day like today I give you pie. It's Sunday, I have no plans, almost all my chores are done and I had planned to go for a nice long run to stretch my legs and clear my head, i was psyching myself up to run further than I have for a while. And then I woke up to rain. Not the kind of rain that passes by all loud and menacing, leaving you with nice gaps of quiet in between, but the kind of rain that just drops, incessantly, all day, making pretty much anything outside a very damp experience. But I was still hopeful.


As I got out of bed I felt something in my calf rip. Running plans for sure on hold.

Then I walked out into the dining room and went to pick up an empty cardboard box that had been sitting in the corner. It was wet, like fall-apart-in-your-hands wet. The carpet all around it was a mess; it looked like someone had knocked over a drink bottle just minutes before. The drinks cabinet base was also sodden, warped and looking decidedly unsafe for some of my favourite glassware. There's no water on the windowsill and the ceiling was replaced when we moved in a few months ago. I am worried.


And so I give you pie. Because some days it's the only thing that will make you feel better. This pie isn't any ordinary pie though, it's a fluorescent green wonder that is filled with stuff that will actually make you better from the inside out. No kidding. It's healthy. It's also very, very rich and very addictive so start small.  A bad day doesn't need a bellyache. 

Head over to Guilty Kitchen for the recipe and turn that frown upside down. I'm going to call my dad, and cross my fingers!

*It's now stopped raining, so theoretically I could run, but I'm still hobbling and waiting for Dad to come and save the day. Again.
