Sorry, but I'm afraid you have a slim chance of getting through Express Entry because of your age, education, and language result. The EE scoring system favors applicants in their late 20s with post-graduate degrees and CLB 9 language results.
You can compute your projected CRS score here, note that the draw this week was at 482: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

Your husband may actually have a better shot because he is a chef, either by looking for an employer there or looking for a provincial nomination program that may have chefs in their in-demand occupations list.

However, you can also check if you qualify for the separate Self-Employed stream: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/business/self-employed/index.asp

I don't think a high school diploma would qualify for any of the economic immigration programs for Canada. You need an undergraduate degree as a minimum.
