Hi and Welcome to Joe’s Healthy Meals!

I am Joe the chef, or want to be chef.  I am the writer, experimenter and photographer of this food blog.  Mary Jo is my wife, technical adviser and proof reader.  She’s also a great baker and provides me with wonderful breads. Her website is MJ Bakes a Lot. Be sure to check it out.

Mary Jo and I retired on the same day, April 29, 2011, and headed into retirement on a 50 foot trawler that we lived on for two years, motoring from Minnesota to Florida where we finally settled.  We are land lubbers now, living in Dunedin Florida, just a short distance from the Gulf of Mexico.

I started cooking 20 some years ago mainly because I was the one at home in the afternoon with the most time.  So I would do the best I could with the food to feed myself, my wife and 3 daughters.  A lot of successful meals and some not so successful.  Over the years I’ve learned to appreciate the value of a good recipe and a good chef.  I’m still learning and it’s a fun journey.

At Joe’s Healthy Meals, we’ll show you some of our best recipes and I’ll search for recipes that sound interesting and give them a try. I’ll also give you some tips on tools and techniques to make food preparation fun.  I hope you enjoy the meals and recipes I come up with.  Check in often to see what’s new.

You can contact me with questions and suggestions at my e-mail: [email protected]althymeals.com.
