Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a big nonstick skillet over medium-high

vegetables to the bowl with mushrooms. Set aside.
Heat remaining 1 teaspoon of oil in a big saucepan. Add barley and cook,
stirring, for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower
heat, cover and simmer 50 minutes, or until barley is tender but not
mushy.
Preheat the oven to 350ø. Lightly coat a deep, 2 1/2-qt casserole
dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Stir barley mixture, parsley and orange juice into the bowl with the
vegetables. Add 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. If the mixture seems

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting tipsIf you wish to become slim and boost your all round health, then, as any dietician will tell you, you really should eat a thoughtfully calculated sensible daily routine. At best, this should include five measures of grains and vegetables each day and also incorporate the right mix of important nutrients.
The case against reduced carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Most of the negative side effects observed, such as persistent tiredness, stomach upsets, or bad headaches seem to be just temporary, but critics contend that low carb diets are not without serious long term side effects.
Reducing carbs may mean missing out on necessary nutrients from healthy carbohydrate foods which should be part of any sensible diet, particularly those that we get from grains, vegetables and fruits.
Super foods containing lycopene
(includes apricots, red peppers & tomato)
Lycopene is a non-synthetic chemical compound and part of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. Lycopene is behind the deep red hue of quite a few foods.
Intrestingly, unlike many nutritional compounds, lycopene does not degrade if cooked, but is in fact increased in efficacy by being heated.
. Lycoprene's key value is that it works as an antioxidant and seems to be an asset in the fight to reduce the chances of cancer.
It is the most potent eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is linked with skin aging. It's also thought to curtail the progression of atherosclerosis.
