Primal Pot Roast

For dinner, I made the Primal Pot Roast from The Primal Blueprint Cookbook. The recipe is on page 16. It was very good, but the one change I would have made would be to replace the beef stock with veal stock. Unfortunately, I was all out. I’ll be making more soon because it adds so [...]
