A little announcement... This is my 100th blog post!!! I honestly can't believe that I made it this far. And to top it off, this post is featured on Chef Dennis' More Than A Mount Full blog. It's gonna be a good Friday.
I'm a freelance editor who's constantly hungry.
I love this stew . . . has all the markings of a warm and cozy comfort meal, which we'll need with all the snow and cold coming! I have the barley, and I have beef -- just no fresh mushrooms :( but I'll be saving this for sure Glad you were able to share this with Chef Dennis's readers -- that's how I found you! Great job.

This looks so-o-o-o comforting. It's very cold and snowy and this would be perfect, if only I hadn't used the last of my fresh mushrooms yesterday. But on the list it goes. Glad to see you on Chef Dennis's blog. Nice to meet you.

HI Alina.
I really enjoyed reading your guest post at Chef Dennis' blog. The soup is indeed a comfort in a bowl. Looks utterly delicious. I'll be coming back to your blog.
Have a great weekend.

I'm beginning to feel a bit under the weather, so this soup sounds extra desirable right about now. Plus this looks like a great way to use up the rest of the barley from this week's post!

I love Beef and Barley. Barley is at the top of my favorite grains! Love the stew!

Congrats on your 100th post! I enjoyed reading this recipe on More than a Mount Full. It would be a great hit in our house as my boyfriend loves beef and mushrooms and I never seem to be able to keep them on hand for him. :D
