1 cup Chopped onions
2 cup Sliced mushrooms
2 package Instant broth/season
2 Half a cup Water
Salt and pepper, to taste
5 1/4 oz Barley, 3/4 cup
Recipe
Preparation
Add your favorite spice to this casserole, if you wish. Try 1/2
teaspoon of either curry powder, basil, oregano, dill or thyme or
enjoy it as it is with the delicious subtle flavor of mushrooms. In a
medium saucepan over medium heat cook onions & mushrooms till tender
about 10 min adding small amounts of water if necessary to prevent
drying. Add broth mix, water and salt & pepper and bring to a boil.
Stir in barley, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 50min until
barley is tender and liquid is absorbed. Stir occassionally while
cooking and add more water if necessary. Note: I eliminated the 2T+2t
of reduced calorie margarine to reduce the 5g per serving of fat in
the original recipe.

A few tips on healthy eating
In planning a diet, the important thing is to also endeavour to restrict your ingestion of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.
Some low carb diet tips:
* Use soya flour or soy baking mix.
When you have to use flour for baked goods, substitute it with soy flour or a baking mix such as Atkins bake mix. In most situtations, you may convert your most popular recipes that use white flour to use these.
* Use splenda as a substitute for sugar.
Many recipes that require sugar can be adapted to make use of a good quality substitute like splenda. It has a different density so you will need to experiment a little and it may not work for everything, but it gives very good results once you have it cracked.
Lycopene foods

The chemical lypcopene is a natural coloring compound and one of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. It is the agent responsible for the vivid red hue of a good number of fruits and vegetables.
Intrestingly, unlike many nutrients, lycopene not only survives being cooked, but is essentially strengthened by cooking.

Its most important benefit is that it works as an antioxidant and is believed to be of use in the fight to lower the risks of cancer.
