How much do you guys love me now?

If you’re regular Hollywood Homestead reader and newsletter subscriber (sign up here!) you’ll know I don’t usually do too many time intensive recipes but I do love to have a extravagant ones for when you just fancy a good old paleo berry pie.  🙂  If you’re a serious pie lover you might want to also check out my paleo pumpkin pie and paleo sweet potato pie.

You’re gonna love this paleo berry pie and I bet it will become a holiday favorite!  Ever since I wrote The Gelatin Secret ebook I haven’t even bothered putting the can of gelatin back in the cupboard.  It has earned a spot on my counter since I pretty much use it on everything these days…
