Instant Pot Spicy Beef Barley Stew: Hearty Comfort

Hey Reader!

First of all, I wrote a lot. Use text-to-speech; I don't care. LOL. I'm just so darn excited.

Welcome to the very first issue of the Fall Recipe Series for 2024! I’m SO excited to kick things off and get you in that kitchen whipping up delicious meals without stressing about what’s for dinner—whether you’re cooking for yourself, your family, or your friends.

To start, I’ve got an Instant Pot recipe for you: Spicy Beef Barley Stew. This one is perfect for cozy fall days. Have you ever used an Instant Pot before? If so, I’d love to hear any tips you have to share with the rest of our community. If not, don’t worry—I’ve got you covered with slow cooker and stovetop instructions, too. No fancy equipment is required!

I really want you to try this one out and get creative with it the way I did. Trust me, you’re going to want to save this recipe for your repertoire—it’s one of those you’ll keep coming back to, like the instructions on the back of a mac and cheese box. 😆 (Yes, I had to say it!)

Also, you might notice some pages on my site are still under construction (you'll see the sign under the title if I'm working on it; you'll get an email update when it's done). The control freak that I am, I’m updating everything myself and working hard to bring you the best content possible. So, bear with me through this little makeover!

I’d love to hear what you’re most looking forward to this fall—whether it’s pumpkin-spiced everything or just that cool breeze finally rolling in. I'm gonna tell you right now, it's the cool breeze for me! And if you try the recipe, share your thoughts, tweaks, or tips. I’m always up for hearing how you make these dishes your own.

Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Until next time,
Maika

P.S. I love Pumpkins!! (I was yelling it, but you can't hear me.)
