It’s a nutritional rock-star stew to get your year off to a phenomenal start!

Grass fed beef is lean and full of micronutrients- if you can get it, it's not the same beast as the conventional counterpart. Winter squash is a nutritional powerhouse with betacarotene (vitamin A) and high fiber good for you carbs. Kale... kales good for everything! Greens are a super food you should strive for daily! And it’s a cinch to throw together!

Start with your onions. Saute in a nonstick pot, or add a little bit of healthy oil (olive oil, avocado oil, or some untoasted sesame oil). Add the ground beef and brown until cooked through.

Next add in the minced garlic, tomato sauce, and broth. Combine with the winter squash.

Here’s the thing with this recipe… any kind of winter squash will do! We have quite the store of squash from this years garden. I chose a big sweet meat squash for this recipe that I had already prepared and diced for the freezer. Costco sells a cubed butternut squash that would be great. Other phenomenal choices could be acorn squash, pumpkin, or another winter squash. I would not use spaghetti squash for this recipe though, as the consistency would be much different.

When the squash is cooked through, add chopped kale.

Cook about 5 more minutes, and enjoy!
