  2. Made this tonight for dinner with my daughter. Absolutely delicious! The cinnamon had me intrigued and it was extraordinary. This will be fall/winter comfort food from now on!

  3. Wow. A huge day in immune recovery. Flu not so bad when doing whole foods/Paleo…granted it was 3 days of clear liqueds and carrot juice to get here.

    Soooo hungrey .. All the variety of pumpkins from local farm a day trip away have now been processed for winter.
    So I did this recipe. Sprinkled the cinnamon on the squash bed instead of mixing it into the meat.

    Added some chile peppers going south and cleaned out the fridge of veggies called for in the recipe.

    Wow. Amazing.

    I took Pics! I had a pineapple that needed carving up too. So hence dessert with the main meal. Niiice.

    I will tag you guys after the next time I put up pics on our site so I can share the pics of your stuff with our homey atmoshphere.

    Thank you for being Paleo strong. I might not be a Iron girl but I take care of Chris and that takes a lot of Sombre Cave Girl to do. How do I make myself an official Cavewoman with Sombre as my Paleo nemis of should I just use our FB page that already supports your site. The Best IMHO Paleo of Paleo sites.
