Mincemeat Pie

I almost think this is my best recipe to date!

My dad's birthday falls on (or near) Thanksgiving, and he is as much a foodie as I am. I always told myself that one year I was going to make him a REAL mincemeat pie, and I finally did it.

I started searching out a good traditional recipe to use, only to find that none of them met my standards. It didn't have the ingredients I wanted, or had ingredients I didn't want, or just didn't look right to me so...

I made my own. With inspiration from the ages, of course.

Like the Welsh Cookies, this recipe is NOT Primal, but it's made up of real food, and when it comes to mincemeat pie, that's all that matters.

(Not Quite) My Grandma's Welsh Cookies

Sorry Grandma, I had to change the recipe.

(Just so you know, while I did make some switches in the recipe's ingredients, they're not Primal. They're just... improved.)

These are an old family tradition. I realized there are few times that I feel closer to my family and my roots than when I make Welsh cookies. There's just something about making them, that knits me closer to my ancestors.

Coyote Energy

Apparently my life is full of coyote energy right now- thus the lack of recent posts. That's what my yoga instructor said, and it makes perfect sense now that I think about it.

Why do I always seem to need someone else to point out the obvious?
