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…

Survival Salad
We’ve had a long spring this year. A long wet spring. Great for the grass and my water bill, not so great for morale. So I’m overjoyed about 80+ degree weather. It’s seriously my favorite time of year. I may have mentioned it once or twice. (Or everyday of my life.) But even though I’m…

Travel Food
I’m going on a road trip this week, and I can’t tell you how excited I am! I’ll be performing “Views from Grandma’s Porch” with Bare Bait Dance, a fantastic modern dance company right here in Montana. I get to hang out with five of the loveliest ladies you’d ever meet, and dance till I…

Orange Tempeh Stir Fry
I know what you’re thinking. “Really Jo? Wasn’t the tofu enough? What’s wrong with chicken? Do we really need more vegetarian options?” Yes. Always! Variety is the spice of life, my friend. And tempeh, like tofu, is excellent if you take the time to do it right. Looks odd, tastes great Tempeh doesn’t need to…

So not Sloppy Joes
“Don’t tell my wife these are Sloppy Joes or she’ll hate them.” I overheard this line coming from the kitchen after I’d thrown together what I thought was a brilliant new concept for dinner. Seriously? How did I not catch on? It was one of those nights where we had nothing planned for dinner, and…

Lessons learned
I had some recipe failures recently. It happens sometimes. No big deal! Unless it happens three times in a row. In a row! The first failure was still edible. Really spicy, but that can be ok. The second two? I need to talk about it. Can I vent? Thanks. Look at how pretty these were!…

Spent Grain Burgers
Do you have a home brewer in your life? You’re going to need to find one. “What is spent grain?” you ask. I’m going to let Wikipedia answer that: Brewer’s spent grain (also called Spent grain, Brewer’s grain or Draff) is a byproduct of beer brewing consisting of the residue of malt and grain which…

Chocolate Cups
This recipe has chocolate in it. It also has eggs. You don’t bake it in the oven. But it won’t kill you. Or even make you sick. Because it also has coffee in it. HOT coffee! The hot coffee cooks the eggs for you. No worries. Look at me, being all fancy and stuff. Like…

Winter Brew Fest
Missoula loves to celebrate. Especially when it comes to beer. So twice a year we have a Brew Fest to celebrate all the local and regional brews we have access to. Unfortunately, I don’t like beer. At all. This wouldn’t be so bad if my husband weren’t a home brewer. I like sangria. And wine…
