Millet is one of those things that doesn’t get a lot of action on the dinner table; actually, it’s probably more likely to be found in your birdfeeder.

I had this salad for lunch four days in a row last week, and now that it’s gone I’ve been craving it. It’s the sort of thing I could eat once a day all summer long and not get sick of. Not only is it healthy, satisfying, and incredibly delicious, but it keeps amazingly well in the fridge all week (there’s nothing better than making lunch once and being set for four days…I think I’m going to make a double batch next time and be set with my hubby’s lunches too).
But its addictive deliciousness is what keeps me coming back for more. The secret to how good it is? There’s a couple actually. The first is the savory/sweet combo, especially from the scallions and dried cherries in this salad. Don’t skimp on either. The second secret is the wheat berries. (more…)
Valentine’s Day Menu & First Course — Bean & Barley Salad
Tuesday, January 31st, 2012
I don’t know about you, but I prefer a romantic Valentine’s Day meal at home over a meal at most restaurants. That way you get to enjoy a quiet meal with your loved one in the comfort of your own home without any waiting or traveling…and I’m guessing the food is just as good (or better!), not to mention cheaper. The only downside is the clean-up, but that’s where enlisting your Valentine’s help comes in. ;)
