Tofu, Mushroom, and Farro Stir-fry

Farro is one of my favorite grains, although I rarely make it. It's sort of like brown rice, but it's chewier, and has a nutty, earthy flavor. Farro contains more fiber than brown rice and quinoa, and is a good source of zinc, iron, magnesium and B3.

Sauteed Swiss Chard, Mushrooms, and Tomatoes

Ok so, I've been eating a head of swiss chard everyday for the past three days. I keep telling myself I'll split it into two portions, but it keeps coming out so good....I can't stop eating it.

This is a great hearty side dish, or snack (if you do what I did) sprinkled with some grated parmesan cheese.
