Farro Roasted Carrot and Crispy Chickpea Salad
April 15, 2014
Farro, Roasted Carrot and Crispy Chickpea Salad
Grain salads are a culinary gift that keeps on giving. They’re easy to throw together, last forever, and can be eaten cold or at room temperature. This Farro, Roasted Carrot, and Crispy Chickpea salad is one of my favorites and perfect for an easy Easter brunch side or a make ahead lunch for work. It also makes a great vegetarian main dish!
Farro is an ancient grain that is beginning to grow in popularity. Originating in the Meditiarrean, farro is actually three varieties from the wheat family and well loved in Italy (it makes an extra creamy and rich risotto). Farro medio that is pearled or semi-pearled, meaning part of the outer hull has been removed, is what you’ll typically find in your mega-market. Farro is similar to barley in texture but have wonderfully nutty favor and bite.
The ingredient list for this Farro, Roasted Carrot and Crispy Chickpea Salad may seem long, but only take about 20 minutes of hand on prep time – the oven does all the work for you. You can also easy swap one of the components for something similar – feta cheese is excellent in place of the Parmesan and you can easily swap thyme for parsley.

April 6, 2021
This was the year I resolved to add more color back into our home, and the dining room design is as bold as they come. Since this was a shadowy room, I played off of the moodiness. I knew this would be a space we will share many family meals and birthday dinners, so I wanted it to be fun as well as timeless.

Our tentative moving timeline!
April 21, 2020
It feels like we might jinx something by sharing this tentative move out timeline;) However, I promised to share this process with you all so here it goes! Moving during a time when many public places are closed will make it very difficult to get out of the house with kids during showings, etc. so we weren’t sure how to go about this at first. After a lot of thought and scenario hashing here is what it will come down to…

Sesame Chicken Potstickers Recipe
January 30, 2015
I could live off of appetizers and finger foods. I totally admit they are usually my motivation for attending parties:D:D With Supersbowl Sunday now in view, I thought I’d share an easy appetizer you can take with you to your watch party! Gabe and I tag teamed the stuff and fry part and it took a total of 15 minutes. Pretty easy.
What I love about potstickers is that they have plenty of room to experiment with. After the test round, this is the winning sesame chicken potstickers recipe that got the winning vote. Take this to your game day party with a few chopsticks;) But be careful, they are as addictive as candy. Recipe below!
