Directions: Mix greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract. Slice banana in half and top with yogurt mixture. Freeze for 30+ min. Top with whipped cream, cherries, and nuts. You could also melt peanut butter as a topping instead of cream!

It has been so cold this week! I feel like I’m back in Wisconsin every time I step outside. What better way to counteract the coldness than a steaming bowl of soup?

Beef Stew 8 servings

1 pound lean beef, cubed 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large onion, diced 1/2 cup tomato paste 4 cups beef broth 2 large turnips, chopped 16 baby carrots, chopped 4 small potatoes, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced salt and pepper to taste

Cook the beef in a hot pan, seasoning with salt and pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Once browned, remove from heat.

Cook the onion and garlic in the oil until softened. Add the beef broth, tomato paste, beef, carrots, turnips, and potatoes. Let simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables have cooked.

If the soup thickens too much while cooking, add more beef broth or thin it out with water.
