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…

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!…

Bacon Things
Descriptive, right? You may not know this about me and my family, but we often use terms that are as vague as possible. It’s kind of like a game. “Can you make me that thing with the stuff?” is way more fun than saying “Can we have stir fry tonight?” And “Bacon Things” is way…

And now for dinner
I know, I know–it’s not pie. It’s Beef and Broccoli. But it’s seriously delicious! And healthy! I mean, look at this That’s a lot of vegetables, my friend. And even though the meat was delicious, juicy, and tender, this photo makes it look completely unappealing. I’m sorry. Make it anyway. I sauteed the meat and…

How about dessert?
More specifically, how about some pie? Apple? With caramel sauce and ice cream? Yeah, let’s do it! I used local Fuji apples, and they were so juicy and delicious! I’m going to do this again, because this was seriously the best apple pie, but I’m going to use Granny Smith, cause that’s what I’ve got.…
