    Roasted Carrot, Farro, & Arugula Salad

    Happy March, friends! It’s been a minute since I posted a savory recipe, so I thought I’d share this Roasted Carrot, Farro, and Arugula Salad with you.

And though I’m not a vegetarian, I do love veggies, and am always looking for new ways to eat them. Recently I stumbled on the idea of buffalo cauliflower (cauliflower smothered in buffalo sauce?

Of course I had to make a few tweaks, because that’s just what I do. I added Poblano peppers…
