Beef & Barley Stew

ByChrista

There is nothing better than enjoying a warm stew, full of good stuff. 
This Beef & Barley stew is one of my favourites and we enjoy it a couple of times a month.
I also love that I can make a big batch and freeze it for another date!

Beef & Barley Stew

INGREDIENTS
2 lbs diced stewing beef
1 tsp Epicure Minced Garlic
1 TBSP Epicure 3 Onion Dip Mix
2 Large Carrots, roughly chopped
2 celery sticks, roughly chopped
4 cups Epicure Beef Broth, prepared
1 Can of Dark Beer of your choice (or 2 cups of Beef Broth)
1/3 cup quick cooking barley
6 Medium potatoes, quartered
Salt & Pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS
Place all ingredients into a slow cooker.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours

I also like to add a handful of sweet pea in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
This allows for the peas to keep their crunch!

Granola Bars

ByChrista

This granola bar is a family favourite in our home. I love it because you can modify the ingredients to your taste. You can add coconut, switch out the dried fruit or seeds, add nuts (as long as it is not going to school). If you don’t want to add the Rice Krispies or Puffed Quinoa, you will need to increase the oats by at least 1/2 cup. It makes 40 good size granola bars and more if you want them to be smaller. They are not overly sweet (around 6g of sugar per bar), they are perfect for school lunches (when they don’t have any nuts) and they freeze really well!!!
