Chocolate Whipped Cream Caramel Poke Cake
Well here’s something you don’t see everyday on Joe’s Healthy Meals. Chocolate whipped cream caramel poke cake that has about 900 calories per serving. (That’s an estimate. I’m afraid to run it through my nutrition label generator). What this cake is all about is a celebration of three years of Joe’s Healthy Meals! Yep…June…
Easy Rye Sandwich Rolls
I’m crazy about rye yeast breads of any kind and today I have a recipe for easy rye sandwich rolls that everyone loves. I suspect that my love affair with rye is due to the Scandinavian and German blood in my veins; I like to make rolls for their versatility and because most people seem to find rolls especially appealing….
8 Minute Broiled Salmon
Just when I thought I had salmon all figured out, (citrus and dill baked salmon), I found this technique for cooking salmon. MaryJo and I had it last night and I think this will be my go to method for cooking salmon steaks. This is for those nice 6 ounce fillets that are 1″ or…

These Brazilian cheese balls are served in that country either with strong coffee for breakfast, or later in…

Time flies when you’re having fun. Mary Jo and I just got back from a week vacation in Nisswa, Minnesota staying at Causeway on Gull in a beautiful timeshare condo with her two brothers, and cousin and spouses. We all had a great time, and the weather was beautiful. Of course we ate too much,…

Blueberry Pie
I’m not a person who eats dessert, but every now and then there is this urge to splurge. This blueberry pie recipe was given to me recently by my friend, real estate agent, local celebrity Mother of the Mayor, Linda. Well I knew that I had to try it right away. Having never, and I…
