Whether you prefer vacations or staycations, this summer will likely be filled with lots of activities from sun-up to sun-down.  And while family meals are typically a lot lighter this time of year, it's important that your choices are still packed with good nutrition to keep everyone energized and healthy.  So be sure to include plenty of grains like barley.  Look for this nutrient-rich favorite in whole-grain cereals, snack bars and heat-and-heat entrees for healthful and easy dining options.  And for a refreshing summertime soup idea, treat family and friends to cool and flavorful Barley Gazpacho.
