Barley Recipe Roundup

April 28, 2012 by Julie 20 Comments

With the end of April quickly approaching, it’s time for this month’s Recipe Roundup post!

Recipe Roundups began on PBF a few months ago as a way for me to highlight past PBF recipe posts that may have fallen to the wayside over the course of my 2+ years of blogging.

Past recipe roundup posts include:

  • Granola Recipe Roundup
  • Pumpkin Recipe Roundup
  • Salmon Recipe Roundup
  • Healthy Pancake Recipe Roundup
  • Banana Recipe Roundup
  • Oatmeal Recipe Roundup

This month we’re tackling one of my all-time favorite whole grains: Barley!

I love the chewy texture of barley and the fact that it is high in fiber is just an added bonus. I enjoy eating barley for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The following recipes are some of my all-time favorite barley-based creations.

Barley Recipe Roundup

  • Cauliflower and Eggplant Barley Risotto

    ahhh I’m gluten intolerant so I can’t eat barley! But I definitely want to try some of these with brown rice, quinoa or millet!

    I’m embarrassed to say I’ve NEVER tried barley! Yikes! But all of your recipes look yummy, so maybe I’ll give it a shot this week!! I tried chia seeds thanks to your blog and love those!

    I have an unopened bag of barley that’s been sitting in my cupboard for awhile – now I’ve got some great ideas of how to use it! Thanks! I never thought to eat it for breakfast, but I definitely will try out some of your breakfast bowls. Yum! Hope you had fun on the booze cruise yesterday!

    I rarely buy/use barley but all of these recipes look delicious. I think I might need to pick up some barely next time I go food shopping!

    Hope you’re having a good b-day weekend Julie.

    I’m a total barley virgin. I’ve always thought it looked a bit bland and boring but holy cow, these recipes look great!
