I made the Butternut squash and Chickpea Moroccan stew today. It was SO good!! I had my stitching group for lunch and needed a quick yummy dish so gave it a go. They all wanted the recipe and it is so easy to make. I used a mix of butternut squash and yam and chicken stock instead of veggie because that is what I had on hand. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!!
Amazing! So glad everyone loved it 🙂 One of my favs.

These are my favorites for 2018: paleo chocolate cake with paleo chocolate frosting, paleo double chocolate tahini banana muffins, chunky monkey zucchini banana muffins and healthy soft pumpkin cookies with salted maple frosting. I’ve prepared them all and they are simply amazing and delicious. Thanks for sharing Monique.
