Slow Cooker Vegetable Barley Soup
Slow Cooker Vegetable Barley soup for the win! Made with pearl barley for those chilly fall nights. 🙌 Everyone has their own version of vegetable soup. Some use bags of frozen mixed vegetables, chopped meat or even noodles. My neighbor uses canned tomato soup as her base and a gal at our church includes beans. All of these versions are yummy, but I have a preference for fresh chopped vegetables, spices and pearl barley simmering in a good quality vegetable broth. Have you ever cooked with barley before? One of those ancient grains, the pearl version has the hull and […]

Laundry Room Renovation Makeover
Our farmhouse renovation included many rooms in our home. While our laundry room was not the most exciting at first, this makeover has quickly made it one of my favorite spaces in our house. It’s now a functional space we use as a mudroom and laundry room that has personality to fit our old home. We achieved that personality with a fresh coat of EasyCare® Ultra Premium Paint that we purchased at a True Value. When our farmhouse started to take shape during the renovation, the laundry room was a room that we knew had to have function for a […]
