There is so much that is GOOD about this strawberry farro salad with balsamic glazed pecans. It is just the right amount of fresh, bright, tang, and sweet, and has wonderful crunchy texture from the nuts and a toothiness from the farro. You will not be disappointed.

As the summer months continue, we will all begin looking for ways to beat the heat. Since childhood, I’ve had a love of popsicles, but it wasn’t until I moved to Texas that I realized how amazing popsicles could really be. Dotting neighborhoods throughout San Antonio are fruterias and palaterias, shops dedicated to selling fresh […]
We’ve reached another weekend and another Treat of the Week article. If you haven’t used your popsicle mold in a while, now is the time to dig that thing out from the back of the cabinet and get ready to embrace summer. I can’t think of a better way to kick off the season than […]
