VEGETABLE BARLEY STEW WITH LENTILS
Super tasty and loaded with goodness. This is one of my favorite stew that I'd like to make on a chilly day. It warms me up instantly with tons of great flavor and lots of good-for-me nutrients. I like enjoying it with some good bread that helps to pick up all the yummy sauce.

VEGETABLE BARLEY STEW WITH LENTILS
This is from a cookbook called In The Kitchen With Rosie by Rosie Daley, who was Oprah's chef in one of her skinny incarnations. I have only modified it slightly. I make this every time a pregnant friend is about to deliver so she has something healthy in the freezer for lunch that she can prepare with one hand. It has all the 'good stuff' in it you just don't get from take-away meals or meals my husband would choose to cook for me. You can double the spices for more kick if you like (I usually do.)

LENTIL BARLEY STEW
My husband's favorite. The cinnamon gives this stew a different twist. It will thicken as it sits, so I make it a little soupy to begin with and serve with some crusty bread to soak up the juices.

This is a simple, hearty stew adapted from the More with Less Cookbook. The crushed red pepper is my own addition, and of course it's optional if you don't like that sort of thing - but I like it to have a little zip.
