Farro Salad

July 29, 2014 by Cate 16 Comments

Arugula, cherry tomatoes, and fresh herbs are mixed with farro and tossed in a lemon vinaigrette. Shaved parmesan and roasted pistachios finish off this amazing farro salad!

Do you ever have an amazing dish at a restaurant that you wish you could recreate at home? I had the most incredible farro salad at one of our favorite restaurants in NYC, Charlie Bird. I know it doesn’t sound that exciting – I mean it is salad after all. But I promise you, this salad is memorable. And when I got home from dinner and googled it, I found a recipe in the New York Times for the farro salad! Lucky me!

Sidenote – Charlie Bird is delicious. If you live here and haven’t tried it yet, you really should! Their chicken is outstanding! Also when we were eating there once with TheBetterHalf’s parents, we saw Jerry Seinfeld and his family. One of our best celeb sightings!

Tortellini Greek Pasta Salad

June 20, 2014 by Cate 25 Comments

All the flavors of a Greek salad are mixed with tortellini to make this Greek Pasta Salad – the perfect light summer dinner or side dish!

What kinds of food do you think of when you think about summer? I immediately think of ice cream, anything with berries or peaches, grilled everything, and pasta salad! Pasta salad is just such a perfect summery food. It is great for picnics or a light dinner. My absolute favorite kind of regular salad is a Greek salad, so I turned it into a pasta salad – Tortellini Greek Pasta Salad.

Fresh zucchini makes these double chocolate zucchini muffins so moist, and you won’t believe that they are 100% whole wheat! A healthy and delicious breakfast!

Hello from 35,000 feet in the air! TheBetterHalf and I are on our way to Seattle for memorial day weekend. (Ok now that I have internet to post this, we are already in Seattle. But I wrote this on the plane 🙂 ) We are so excited for our little getaway – I desperately need a vacation. I’ve heard great things about this city, and I know it has a great food scene! Our list of places to eat is long but there is always room for more– if you have any suggestions, let me know! And make sure to follow me on Instagram for picture updates from our trip.

With memorial day weekend comes summer and with summer comes zucchini! I love baking with zucchini in the summertime. You don’t taste it at all, but it makes baked goods really moist. Plus, who couldn’t use a little extra nutrition in their muffins? And to top it all off, these chocolate zucchini muffins are 100% whole wheat, are made with Greek yogurt, and use coconut oil! Such a healthy and delicious way to start your day.
