This vegetarian Mediterranean bowl is filled with grilled vegetables and farro, then topped with a garlic yogurt sauce, kalamata olives, feta and hummus.

Recipe inspiration comes in many forms. This recipe’s inspiration came from a mish mosh of veggies in my crisper and a trip to Michigan with a mish mosh of food bloggers.

Similarities in my kitchen and in my life never seem to end.

Thanks to my friends Liz of The Lemon Bowl, Dara of Cookin’ Canuck and Phi of Sweet Phi, the hosts of the #FreshCoastRetreat, 16 food bloggers reaped the benefits of connecting with one another, and the inspiration for this healthy, vegetarian, one-bowl meal was picqued.

But before I share more about the retreat, let’s talk about the recipe for this one-bowl meal.continue to the recipe… about Chopped Grilled Vegetable Bowl with Farro and #FreshCoastRetreat

There are many a day when I comb through the pantry looking for a snack to cure my craving.

A handful of potato chips dunked into cottage cheese was my go-to after school treat as a kid that I can’t seem to shake. And yes! Those Hot Tamales will keep me busy all afternoon as I pick the red jelly insides from my back molars. And don’t make me tell you where I keep my secret stash of dark chocolate with sea salt. Because I won’t.

Sometimes I do want it all—all naughty and not necessarily healthy.

Sometimes.

But most of the time the foodie devil on my left shoulder gets shot down by the secret angel on my right who deftly guides me to the lighter side of snacking with some hefty flavor.
