Meatless Monday's, Issue #1

I feel that having a meat-free meal on occasion has great benefit... Brian looked at me funny when I told him to expect this once a week, but oh well, he's not doing the cooking... So here is Issue #1 of Meatless Mondays...

Farro, Avocado, Cucumber & Cherry Tomato Salad from Cooking Light

I could have eaten the WHOLE bowl - delish! I had never had Farro before, but it has a nice nutty, sweet, chewy texture. Oh, I don't love Cilantro, so I substituted Parsley which I was chopping for the soup anyhow.

Bean and Pasta Soup from Issue #7, November 2003 Everyday Food Magazine

Yummy!
