MEAL PREP FARRO AND QUINOA VEGGIE BOWLS
At the beginning of the week I like to cook off a big batch of grains, prep and chop my veggies and roast any veggies to use all week long in bowls and salads. It helps me eat healthier without having to think too hard about it. Prepping as much as you can will help this meal, and whatever version you want of it, come together in a breeze.

Steps:
- In a 6-quart saucepan, combine the water, farro, quinoa, bay leaf, the grated zest of 1 lemon and a large pinch of salt. Stir and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir again then cover, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Bump the heat up to medium and cook, uncovered, until all of the liquid has absorbed and the grains are al dente, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Cover, remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes more. Remove and discard the bay leaf and fluff the grains with a fork.
- While the grains cook, prep your veggies, herbs and cut the 2 lemons into 10 wedges. If meal prepping for the week, only cut the amount of avocado you need right away. Refrigerate everything (except the nuts and seeds) in separate airtight containers for up to 3 to 4 days until needed.
- To assemble 1 bowl: Scoop 1/2 cup of the cooked grains into a shallow bowl then top with a few thin avocado slices, some of the cucumber and a handful each of the baby lettuce and carrots. Add a sprinkle of the cashews and sunflower seeds followed by a scoop of hummus. Finish with a sprinkle of herbs, a squeeze of 1 lemon wedge and drizzle of olive oil. Feel free to top the bowl with any of the suggested add-ins or switch-ups.
- After refrigerating the grains, let them come to room temperature before serving. Alternatively, warm them in the microwave, or in a skillet with a little water over low heat until the liquid evaporates.
FARRO AND ROASTED VEGETABLE GRAIN BOWLS
I love this grain bowl because I can prep each component of the recipe-the cooked farro, roasted vegetables and vinaigrette-in advance, and hold them separately in the refrigerator. When it's time to eat, it's as easy as putting all the components together and serving! It's equally as delicious served cold as a salad or reheated as a grain bowl. If I want some protein, I can easily serve it up with some roasted salmon, shredded rotisserie chicken or even a fried egg but it also works great as a side dish. This recipe also travels well since it can be served cold, room temperature or hot, so it's the perfect addition to your next picnic or outdoor gathering.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Arrange the squash, bell pepper and fennel each in their own section on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss the vegetables to coat them, keeping each in its own section. Roast for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the greens with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper on another baking sheet. Set aside.
- After 20 minutes, remove the roasted vegetables and flip them over. The vegetables will be brown on the first side and almost tender. Place back in the oven along with the greens and roast until the greens are wilted and the vegetables are completely tender but still hold their shape, about 10 minutes more. Let cool.
- While the vegetables cool, make the vinaigrette. Whisk together the orange and lemon juice, honey, Dijon and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Slowly stream in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil while whisking until the dressing is emulsified. Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Once cooled, dice the roasted peppers and fennel into 1/2-inch pieces. In a medium bowl, toss together the roasted vegetables, greens, Big Batch Farro and vinaigrette. At this point you can store the mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. When ready to serve, add to a serving bowl and top with the feta, fennel fronds and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Bring a large pot of water (about 3 quarts) to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt; the water should be well seasoned like you are cooking pasta. Pour in the farro and stir. Lower the heat slightly so the water is at a rapid simmer. Cook the farro until tender with a slight chew, 13 to 15 minutes. Immediately drain the farro and run under cold water to cool completely. Drain again to remove excess liquid. Makes 4 cups.

- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Trim the ends off the asparagus. Add to the baking sheet, along with the cauliflower and radishes. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning and stir to coat. Roast in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes, until lightly browned and softened. Flip halfway through to ensure even cooking.

- When veggies are done roasting, assemble the bowls. Divide all the ingredients evenly between four bowls. Top with the sauce and some sliced avocado.
