Spring may be here, but the chilly days still feel like soup and stew weather to me. To provide balance between seasonal freshness and comfort, this lamb and butternut squash stew is seasoned with AIP-friendly warming spices and topped with a bit of fresh arugula for both color and flavor. Why lamb? For the second […]
