Beef Pumpkin Stew (SCD, Paleo, GAPS, Beef)

Hi everyone! Are you hibernating indoors to escape the cold like I am? Winter has officially arrived here in Calgary and I am not too impressed. Weather like this makes me want to run away to a beach far far away. I don’t understand how people can like winter. It will never be my favourite season. Ever.

In weather like this all I want to do is hide inside under a blanket drinking warm tea. But that’s just me.

It’s a good thing this weather held off until Halloween was over. Those poor little trick-or-treaters would have had a miserable time in a blizzard like this! And since Halloween was just this week there are still plenty of pumpkins around to cook with which works great for the recipe I am sharing with you today. I know there are a ton of dessert recipes out there incorporating pumping but I am trying to add it to more conventional meals for a little change in flavour. Hence this stew recipe!
