Quick & Easy Onion Barley Loaf

I’ll be the first to admit:  I don’t love onions. Not unlike Beets, I know they’re good for me, but I just can’t get over my dislike of their texture. Maybe that’s one of the reasons that I’m constantly coming up with new ways to use them in my recipes that will change my mind some day about the texture of one of the World’s most popular vegetables.  I love the smell, particularly around holiday time with butter and celery simmering away along side them in a pan.  I love onion rings. Unless the breading comes off and I get a mouthful of that slimy strip of thick onion.
