Fresh Raspberry Cream Dessert
Independance Day is upon us again and it’s a great time to make this fresh raspberry cream dessert. It’s a little decadent but I’m ready to splurge some, how about you? I don’t know about you, but I love a graham cracker crust. As soon as I mentioned I was making a dessert with a…
Fresh Fruit Kabobs with Honey Yogurt Dip
Have you noticed in the grocery stores right now that there is an abundance of fruit? Fresh melons that are really inexpensive, the same with mangos, grapes and pineapple. I saw one store in the Twin Cities advertising 3 cantaloupes for $1.00! Now is the time to buy some of these fruits and serve fresh…
Applesauce Pineapple Toasted Bread Cups
When Mary Jo was 9 until she was 13 she was in 4-H, and every Saturday she would make 8 loaves of bread for her 4-H project. That was enough bread for toast everyday, school lunches for 3 growing kids. Lunch for her dad who took sandwiches to work. Bread, butter and jam for dessert….
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…

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…
Red, White and Blue Cookie Bars
Red, white and blue cookie bars! Happy 4th of July. I wanted to do a really tasty dessert with a 4th of July theme, and thought that strawberries, blueberries and cream cheese would be perfect. I just didn’t know what to do with them. The combination is really good. Well, Mary Jo came through…
Put De Lime In De Coconut…
Next Tuesday is St Patrick’s Day so we’ve been thinking about a menu that fits the holiday. But today is March 14th, National Pi Day, as in the Greek symbol used in mathematics to represent the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Pi is always the same number (3.14159265359), no matter…
SIMPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE
This recipe is a special Valentine’s Day treat that I asked MaryJo to prepare since she is the best and only baker in the house. While this technically is not a healthy meal, it is a necessary indulgence for this particular day. MaryJo’s Simple Chocolate Cake…take it away MaryJo! Tuesday (the 10th) was our…
