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!

Have you heard of Meatless Monday? According to Wikipedia: “Meatless Monday is an international campaign that encourages people to not eat meat on Mondays to improve their health and the health of the planet.” Sounds like a win win to me!
Plus, I always try to be a little healthier on Mondays. It feels good to start the week off on a healthy foot, and to undo some of the damage from the weekend – because I don’t know about you, but my weekends are usually full of eating pretty much whatever I want. So I have a great meatless and healthy recipe to share with you today – Lentil Salad with Olives, Mint, and Feta….
Is there a more perfect winter food than chili? It is so warm and comforting and makes such a hearty meal when it is cold outside. And it’s the perfect food to eat when you’re watching football. Now I’m sure my meat loving readers are scoffing over this meatless chili recipe, but I promise you, it’s delicious! This chili is so full of flavor and texture that you won’t even miss the meat. And if you are still in doubt, this vegetarian chili has TheBetterHalf’s seal of approval! This is really saying a lot because he rarely has a meat free meal.
