As morning sickness fades away, Zoey and I are getting back in the habit of eating our old favorite grains. Well, at least I am eating them and Zoey is giving them all a good sniff. Although I will admit that right after I took this picture she grabbed a mouthful of barley and promptly dropped it on the floor when she realized it wasn't a cat-friendly food.
I really love barley because it is a grain that fills me up like no other. So, I wanted to modify the bulgur berry breakfast that I have made before and use barley instead. Now, barley does take about an hour to cook on the stove, so it is better suited for a weekend breakfast.
Barley Berry Breakfast
Ingredients:
1/4 c dry barley
1/4 vanilla light soymilk
3/4 c fresh strawberries
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional)
1 tablespoon sliced almonds (optional)
sprinkle of cinnamon
Directions:
1. Cook the barley in 1/2 c of water for about 1 hour. You can bring the water to a boil and then simmer the barley for the remainder of the time. Check on the barley as it cooks and add more water if needed.
2. Once cooked, add the vanilla soymilk, strawberries, flaxseeds, almonds and cinnamon.
3. Stir it all together and enjoy!
We even had a glimmer of sun for this picture which is a real Oregon treat!

Wow, this looks yummy! Glad to hear that your morning sickness is starting to go away and that you can enjoy your favorite breakfast foods again. Zoey is just too cute!
This sounds exactly like my kind of breakfast! Thank you for the recipe.
Aww, forget Curious George, it's Curious Zoey!
I'm glad your morning sickness is fading away!
Hee hee at Zoey. Well a cat has to try these things!
Glad your morning sickness is going.
yay, you're able to eat more food now. I'm happy for you and the little one to be.
It looks really awesome. I have been getting into making cooked grain bfast lately. If I have fruit, I use that. otherwise I use nutritional yeast and kelp - which many think is a gross combo :)
Mmmmmm delicious! How are you doing, sweety pie?
