Barley is a wonderful grain in soups or as a replacement for rice.  The difference between pot and pearl barley is that pot barley is less refined so contains a little more nutrition but takes longer to cook.  Barley is high in fiber so it’s great for lowering cholesterol. 
Ingredients:
·         1 Tbs. olive oil (try to use virgin cold pressed olive oil)
·         1 large onion, diced
·         3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
·         2 medium carrots, sliced

·         2 tsps. Mrs. Dash seasoning
·         2 tsps. Paprika
·         2 bay leaves
·         1 cup chopped spinach
·         Sea salt and pepper to taste
