Sorry it's been a while! I've have been cooking just as much as ever but I just can't seem to find the time for Blog posts... Until today! Cody and I have been trying to stick to the clean eating regimen and for the most part it's pretty dang simple. Except for those days when I simply MUST eat a Reese's PB cup. Anyway, here is a wonderful barley salad recipe that we made for dinner the other night and loved. Fresh and Easy was having a BOGO on Strawberries this week and in an effort to use them up, I added them to this salad. The result: DELISH.
