Brrr, It’s Cold in Here…

Can anyone finish that movie line?? Don’t laugh but it is from Bring It On with Kirsten Dunst. She is a cheerleader and that is the cheer, “Brrr, it’s cold in here! Must be the Torros in the atmosphere!” Haha…okay seriously I know I am a big DORK! But really with the entire country in the midst of this arctic blast I thought I would post one of my favorite cold weather recipes! Enjoy, STAY WARM and happy Friday night!

BEANS WITH BEEF JERKY

Cold Weather Goodness!

• 2  teaspoons  olive oil
• 3  cups  chopped onion (about 1 large)

• 1/2  cup  (2 ounces) pepper beef jerky, minced
