Morning! I have a delicious recipe to share with you today. I’ve made this recipe 2 times now, both for barbeque’s when I get sick of the usual suspects. It’s very easy to throw together and it’s very fussy. I have a big yield down below because I love leftovers of it, but feel free to half it.
I hope you had a wonderful Father’s Day yesterday!
Ingredients Cook the farro and let cook completely. Combine olives, arugula, farro and ricotta salata in a large bowl. In a small bowl combine balsamic, oil, sea salt and black pepper and whisk. Pour over farro, mixing so it combines well. Adjust salt, pepper and add any needed olive oil & balsamic as needed.
Two more things…I’ve been on a dairy OVERLOAD lately. I used to eat minimal amounts of it because I figured out after a blood test and paying close attention to my symptoms, that when I eat too much dairy I get very itchy ski, eczema and when it’s really too much stomach troubles. I LOVE dairy…but pre-pregnancy I only had it maybe 3-4 times a week. When i got pregnant I was craving cheese, so I went with it and my eczema actually was fine. Well I’ve continued with this trend of having cheese at least once a day, whole milk in my iced coffee and a yogurt a day. My eczema and itchy skin are OUT of CONTROL. It’s really bad, so I’ve convinced myself to take a break. Even though I’m dreading it. I love dairy. [My itchy skin gets basically immediately worse after I eat it.]
I’ve done this before and I know once I clear my system out I can have it in small amounts and be okay. So that’s what I need to do. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Second thing…best body bootcamp round 6 starts today! Super psyched!
Eating anything good this weekend?

The salad looks amazing! I need to take more things like this to cookouts when I go. Sorry about the dairy. It’s good you know what to do to deal with it though. Hopefully it will go quickly!
I’ve never cooked farro before, but this recipe looks so rustic and refreshing! I will be looking for farro during my next food trip ! I hope your skin gets better soon!
I love simple yet delicious recipes!!! I was on sugar overload this weekend – so your dairy equivalent haha. I need to calm it down!!
Maybe it’s something about your pregnancy? I was never lactose intolerant until I had my first baby. Sometimes being pregnant does super weird stuff!!
THIS LOOKS DELICIOUS!!
