Golden Sweet Potato and Barley Stew

April 1, 2019

As a working mama, wife, etc. time is not plentiful (as I am sure many of you know). I don't have time to make elaborate dinners, but it is important to me to make healthy, tasty meals for my crew as much as I can. That being said, I am always desperately in pursuit of gadgets to make this easier (see - sous vide and instant pot) or recipes that don't require my presence (read - dump and go).

While I enjoy making up time-intensive, special desserts on the weekend as a creative outlet and sharing those with you guys, I know I am not alone in needing quick meals, so I want to share those more too. The following recipe is a favorite and requires little more than pouring a bunch of ingredients into a crockpot and then getting on to other things.
