Addiction - I still have it.

I am absolutely addicted to sweet things.  I put it down for a month and now I am looking for ways to incorporate sugar back in, dessert especially so a few days ago I found a recipe a dairy free chocolate creme pie.  For the crust they used chocolate cookies.  So I made my own version.  I used Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips and gluten free chocolate cookies and it was freaking delicious.  Seriously one of the most amazing things I have ever tasted in my life.  But the sugar, preservatives and the use of wheat (even gluten free) doesn't sit well with me, I know what these things do to my body.  So  I endeavored to make it more paleo. 

This is an amazing masterpiece of a pie.  I swear I will be selling my tasty viddles out of Grey Gables next year!

It's still sweets and it's not something that I will have every day (though I sure do want to) but I feel a lot better about eating this than just about anything I can buy at a store,
and it is really easy to make!
