I noticed in the Walnut Acres Catalogue that there is nut flour available
but, for what I can spend, I figure I could only afford enough for a muffin.

Ha!  I have the same problem.  I've learned to substitute raw, organic nuts
from the local health food store for grains.  How about grinding (I use the
"grind" key on my old blender) up some nuts and mixing them with a little
oil and using it as the crust when baking a no-sugar pie?

I use ground almond nuts with almond oil to make peach or pear pies, ground
walnuts with walnut oil to make apple or pumpkin pies, etc.  I only do this
when guests are coming for dinner...they seem to expect dessert and I need
to stay paleo.

If you can grind nuts fine enough to make flour, you can always add walnuts
and blueberries, egg, etc. and make a few muffins.  Not something you would
normally eat, but it may get you over the hard craving times.  Sometimes
just knowing that you have the ingredients in the house and can make a pie
or muffins on the weekend is enough to get you through another paleo
week...then when the weekend comes you may be able to postpone baking until
the next weekend and so on.
