For this week’s recipe I wasn't sure what to cook for all of you, however with the help of my followers on facebook I received great ideas for this week’s recipe.
I want to take the time to thank all of those who participated and gave suggestions, they were much appreciated!
I decide that on this cold and frisky winter day, Emily's suggestion appealed to me...a chucky homemade soup! YUMMO! One of our all time favourite soups in our home is a filling cup of tender beef & barely soup!
I was convinced at the market that I had barley at home and therefore didn't buy any; well I wasn't persuaded enough for unfortunately there was none left. :( I decided to use basmati rice instead of the barely, which works as great, it is delicious and filling. I had quite a bit of fun in the kitchen today; I hope you all had a great weekend as well.
Enjoy creating this simple recipe in your home!
Have a great week you guys!
