Today, I am sharing with you my Slow Cooker Beef & Barley Soup. My family loves it, and I know yours will, too. This week, we are excited to be participating in the Frugal Family Food collaboration, created by:
Me and Tangi at Freedom Homestead-    / @freedomhomesteadky  
The goal of the collaboration is to help families eat well on a budget. You can check out the playlist here-    • Frugal Family Food‬   and here-    • Frugal Family Food
