Scrambled eggs with crimini mushrooms, spinach, and parsley, with flax bread and red grapes. I'm hopeless when it comes to cooking scrambled eggs so DH has to help. And, after all these years, he's gotten used to burnt toast .

Anisa, is that just barley cooked in milk? Never thought of that for breakfast...I'm definitely putting it on my list of things to make, thank you!

I soak the barley overnight in the fridge. i soak 1/2 cup dry barley.

then in the morning i throw it in a pot with 2.5 cups water. i just simmer it on medium, uncovered, til it is done. it takes a while to cook, maybe 30 minutes. you can cover it and let it cook a teeny bit longer if you want the barley more tender. you have to watch it and stir it a little.

i pour milk on it when serving.

this makes 2-3 servings

the reason i eat it is because it has a very low glycemic index, meaning it doesn't make your blood sugar spike. instead you have a steady and slow release of energy into your bloodstream. it leaves you satisfied longer than a breakfast that would just give you a sugar rush.

barley has a lower GI than steel cut oats, which is another favourite of mine.

glass of Cranberry juice, plain ole bacon and scrambled egg with 2 toast and a couple cups of coffee. And of course, peanut butter and strawberry jam for the toast

[Crochetlady]

leftover pizza...love cold pizza

[anisa]

tried and true.

cottage cheese and banana, and my beverage of choice

the funny thing is, even though everyone always harps about how bananas have too much sugar, the banana/cottage cheese combo is super awesome for my blood sugar.
