  1. delicious! i love barley and lamb so this was a no fail recipe, plus being able to throw it all in the crockpot before going to work is an added bonus! the only change i made was to sub the turnip for 2 potatoes which i cut into chunks and added. this is a keeper
     
  2. Loved this. I took advantage of previous reviews and used a lighter beer. It came out delicious! Definitely a "keeper" recipe.
     
  3. Absolutely love this recipe! We served it with pickled red cabbage which cuts through the richness of the lamb perfectly. Also some crusty bread to sop up the lovely juices!!! Yum!
     
  4. Lovely recipe, I used Guinness instead of the dark beer and served it with creamy mashed potato, which was very well received by the whole family. Also the smell wafting through the house all afternoon as it cooked was fabulous. Thank you x
     
  5. Oh my, this is good! We made this on the stovetop and it didn't take long at all. I used left over lamb meat from roasted leg of lamb and just added it at the end until it was hot. We used guiness for the beer, but I think it was too bitter. Next time, we'll try murphy's or something not quite as dark. Thanks so much for the recipe!

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges.&nbsp; As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic.&nbsp;<img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried.&nbsp; But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb.&nbsp; What a complete turn around it was to&nbsp;pass up&nbsp;all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat!&nbsp;<img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p> <p>&nbsp;The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain.
