As the seasons change and we shift into fall, soups and stews start to sound more and more delicious. There is something comforting and warming about a good chili, and we love this Paleo squash chili because it is full of fall flavors, textures and colors.

Fall: The Beginning Of Winter Squash Season

As soon as winter squash hit the markets, we are all about adding it to much of our cooking! We love winter squash, and for me, it is a great alternative to potatoes, especially sweet potatoes, since I have a potato intolerance. My intolerance feels pretty unfortunate during the summer when the primary alternative is plantains, and they are hit or miss at the grocery store.

So, if you see me at the grocery store this fall, I will be stocking up and probably have a cart or basket full of squash. There will be a few delicata because I think you should just probably have at least a couple on hand at all times when they are in season. Then, I definitely need butternut and spaghetti squashes too, because you never know when you might want to whip up a hash or a casserole.
