Italian Barley (Vegan) Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1/2 cup Chopped onions
1/2 cup Chopped sweet green peppers
1 Garlic clove, minced
1 can Tomatoes, undrained/in chunk
16 oz. can
1/2 teaspoon Dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon Dried basil
2 cup Water
5 1/4 oz Barley, 3/4 cup
Recipe Preparation
A tasty side dish for almost any entree, this filling grain also
reheats nicely in the microwave. In a medium saucepan over medium
heat cook onions, green pepper, and garlic until lightly browned. Add
small amounts of water if necessary to prevent drying. Add tomatoes
spices and water. Bring to a boil. Stir in barley, reduce heat to
low, cover and simmer 50 mins. until barley is tender and water is
absorbed. Stir occasionally while cooking and add more water if
necessary. Note: the original recipe called to saute the 1st three
ingredients in olive oil(1T+1t) but I chose to eliminate it and
eliminate almost 5 gms fat per serving.

The case against reduced carbohydrate diets

Remember, one point that is often overlooked, it is very hard (although by no means impossible) for vegetarians to follow a low carb diet.
Reducing carbs might mean missing out on vital nutrients from healthy carbohydrate foods which should be part of any well-balanced diet, especially those that we get from grains, vegetables and fruits.
Superfoods rich in flavonoids
(inlcudes lettuce, asparagus, soy & thyme)
The compounds known as flavonoids which are present in these fruits and vegetables are thought to have properties as cancer fighters.
Doctors looking into the medical effects of flavonoids believe they could also have numerous healthy properties, amongst them, anti-viral and antioxidant powers.
A good number are also low in calories, so should be included in your diet system.
