Today was my running-errands day. Picked up clothes from the dry-cleaner, deposited a check, sent out mail and stopped at the grocery store for some exciting Paleo ingredients.
Our Boise Co-Op is amazing. It literally has every single “weird” and unheard-of ingredient. It is my favorite place to shop at by far. While grocery shopping today I came across some pretty amazing looking squash.
They were gorgeous and I am not exaggerating. They caught my eye instantly and they ‘made me’ stretch my hand and grab a few. I couldn’t help myself. I had to get me some of that good-looking squash. I knew exactly what to do with them at home.
Here’s a visual representation of what making this recipe looked like:
