Beef and Barley (slow cooker meal)
In the winter months I crave warm food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I do not cook a lot of red meat for my family, and I am always trying to use different whole grains, so I figured lets use both at once.

“Special Eggs” Breakfast Sandwiches

(I was also probably 7 years old and… Continue reading Thanks, Mom
