Healthy Grain
I added cauliflower and broccoli (roasted with olive oil and garlic salt), fresh spinach and a wedge of Laughing Cow light original Swiss cheese to round out my meal.
Barley Veggie Bowl
Thursday Lunch
The nutty taste of barley really appeals to me, though I think my favorite thing about the grain is its texture. It’s chewy, with an al dente pasta-like consistency that makes my tongue do a little happy dance.
All-in-all a filling, nutritious and delicious lunch.
Happy Birthday To…
My dad!
Me & My Dad, 1987
Happy birthday to my wonderful father.
My dad is such a fun, loving, hard-working, family-oriented, slightly intense 😉 and passionate man and I feel so blessed to be his daughter.
Getting a Lesson in Sea Creatures from My Dad
Daddy, I wish I could be with you on your special day to eat a piece of marble cake and sing you happy birthday! I love you so much.
Oh, and I called today to schedule an appointment to get my car detailed over Father’s Day weekend when I’ll be home with you in St. Pete, which I thought would make you happy. 🙂

I LOVE barley, I order it in restaurants all the time, but I have never cooked with it. your salad and photos are inspiring me to make my own, is it easy as rice or quinoa?
