Instant Pot Beef Stew (Recipe Link)
Instant Pot beef stew with onions, celery and carrots. I’m on maintenance and experimenting occasionally with a few extra carbs, hence the carrots. This is a lovely stew!

Stewed beef, mashed parsnips, half a small potato with butter. It’s cold and snowing again, no thaw in view, no snow tires, so could be trapped inside for days! Decided on a little comfort food! Therefore this meal is a wee bit carby.
