I’m gonna start by saying – MAKE THIS.  Yes, it might be soaked in butter, but who doesn’t love butter?  And a little butter isn’t going to hurt!  Especially if you don’t eat it often.  Also, carrot chips might just be taking the place of french fries.  I bought some gorgeous rainbow carrots at Trader Joe’s, and they just made gorgeous chips, and so so so good!!  I found the recipe on Popsugar Fitness.  Simple, beautiful, and great!!

Last night I had salmon that needed to be cooked, and found a great recipe for honey glazed salmon.  I mean – put honey on anything and I’m IN!!!!  I found this recipe on Damn Delicious, and it is exactly that, so I had to share.

As for the farro, I got it from Trader Joe’s and just followed the directions on the back.  SO GOOD.  This was the first time that I had farro, and I’m a fan!  I added in a couple of tbs of butter, salt and pepper and BOOM.

HONEY GLAZED SALMON

INGREDIENTS

• 3-4 salmon filets
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 3-4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3-4 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Zest of 1 lime

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, pressed
• 1 (or more) tablespoon honey
• Juice of 1 lime
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• To make the browned butter lime sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the foam subsides and the butter begins to turn a golden brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic, honey and lime juice, salt and pepper, to taste; set aside.
• Season salmon with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge each salmon filet with 1 tablespoon flour and drizzle with 1 tablespoon honey.
• Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, add salmon to the skillet and sear both sides until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
• I also added a little more honey before I baked.  Place into oven and bake until completely cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
• Serve immediately with browned butter lime sauce and lime zest, if desired.

Carrot Chips 

INGREDIENTS

2 large carrots (or 3 medium)
1/2 teaspoon olive oil (or melted coconut oil)
1/8 teaspoon sea salt

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Wash and peel the carrots. Using a mandoline slicer or a knife, tilt the carrot, and thinly slice diagonally to make oval-shaped pieces — if they’re too thick, they’ll be soft instead of crunchy.
3. Place the carrot slices in a bowl, and toss with olive oil and salt.
4. Lay the carrots in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with a Silpat or parchment paper.
5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the carrots are dry and crisp. Watch them carefully toward the end, as they can burn quickly.
