    Cuisine:

    I only had barley that has to cook for hours and instant barley. I choose instant which wasn't the right choice. I think it would have been really good without the barley.

    Weight Watchers Barley With Butternut Squash, Apples and Onions,This recipe comes from the Weight Watchers website but I had to share it here because it’s absolutely fabulous. The combination might seem a little strange but it was an instant hit with my family and is one of my favorite dishes. The garlic and thyme blend with the sweet and savory flavors to perfection–you will not believe your mouth! You can serve this with salmon or chicken or do like I do and make it your main course!,I only had barley that has to cook for hours and instant barley. I choose instant which wasn’t the right choice. I think it would have been really good without the barley.,It wasn’t too bad. I thought it was a bit bland.
