Fool Proof but without any proof Quiche
Let’s pretend this is a photo of a beautiful quiche, ok? And it’s all steamy, and delicious smelling, and puffy. Puffy is a very important quality in quiche. And don’t tell me you can’t smell food photos. You may need to get your nose checked, ok? In true Jo fashion, I made yet another meal…

Curry Chicken Chili
I’ve been making this chili a couple times a month for awhile now. (Though this is the first time I’ve made it with chicken. I’ve been using ground beef, and it’s been amazing. But I only had chicken, and it was equally amazing.) It was so simple to come up with the first time. I…

And Another
How on earth has another year passed already? You know what is the biggest difference between last year and this year? My child, my amazing child, is READING HIS OWN BIRTHDAY CARDS!! Obviously that’s not the only difference this last year has made, but I’d say that’s a pretty exciting difference. Wouldn’t you? Other changes…

Well, if this isn't inspiration
Then I don’t know what is. I know I haven’t posted anything in awhile. And while I’m kind of sorry about that, I also really enjoyed the downtime. I took some time to take photos just for fun. And because I wasn’t trying to get any kind of photo in particular, it helped me improve…

A new take
Remember those bacon things? Sometimes I like to mix it up, without having to work or think too hard. Quick and easy, same steps, sweet not savory. Should I be calling these apple turnovers? That just doesn’t seem like something I’d do. Call something by its proper name? Not me! Breakfast just got fancy. I…

The things I do for love
I should like cherry pie. I really, really should. But I just don’t. It’s ok, you can call me crazy. There are just some things I cannot like. No matter how sweet and pretty they are. Don’t worry, I’m not trying to sell you on something mediocre! I’m told this was an excellent pie. The…

The Dangerous Bars
“Why dangerous?” you may ask. “They can’t be that bad for you, right?” They’re not! “So then what’s with the overly dramatic title?” I have these ingredients on hand 99% of the time. ALL the ingredients. And these bars are so fast to throw together that you can basically have them done before you give…

Chicken Sausage Calzones
Calzones are so great for those times when you have a lot of random ingredients that you need to use up. For instance, we bought some chicken and apple sausages from Costco. I really liked them, but Nick didn’t care too much for them. When you buy something at Costco, you don’t just end up…

Cornbread Quiche
Ah, comfort food. You know that scene in Amelie where she reaches her hand into a sack of beans because it’s one of her life’s simple pleasures? That’s how I feel about a bag of cornmeal. I have to resist the urge to dip my fingers into it every time I get it out of…

Lime Kabobs
Hello friends. That was somewhat lackluster… Hello friends! How’s your summer going? We’ve been pretty busy, but we’ve managed to do 90% of all the very fun things we love to do when it’s warm outside. You know, Farmers Market, canoe trips down the river, run through sprinklers, tour with a dance company…that kind of…
