Independence Day is a time to celebrate the birth of our great country. We celebrate with parades, fireworks and great summertime food. While apple pies, cherry pies and ice cream are tops on the list, these sugar cookie bars are giving the traditional favorites a run for their money. They are tasty, RV friendly and…

Zesty Lime Cookies
I’ve been on a baking binge lately and the freezer is getting full. I freeze cookies for many reasons, the main one being if they are hidden in the back of the freezer under something then I’m less likely to eat them. But, that hasn’t been working lately. Too many cookies taste just as good…
Cheesy Pesto Bread Appetizers
I just love it when a yummy dish comes together completely by accident. And I love it more when I remember how to make it again! Such is the case with this fabulously easy and delicious appetizer. It was born in Telluride on the last night of our 2017 ski trip. As usual, we brought…
Bacon Provolone Chicken Thighs
Ooohhhh, last night’s dinner was one of those amazing and delicious happy accidents. Chicken thighs topped with bacon and provolone on the grill then topped with fresh sliced avocado. Say it with me: YUM We’ve had a similar chicken dish for years as a sandwich. The grocery store had a buy one, get two…
Easy Lemon Meringue Pie
Easy and Meringue in the same sentence? You betcha! In our house, pies aren’t just for holidays. That’s why we run. And right now we are running a lot. This recipe comes from my mother in law, Gail. She found it in the recipe book for her very first microwave over forty years ago and…
Scallops and Zoodles
Raise your hand if you’re trying to eat healthy. Wave your hands wildly if it doesn’t happen everyday. Sometimes you just want a cookie, or ten. I’m sure eating an entire container of Oreos would be frowned upon. Delicious, but frowned upon. No cookies for us for dinner this week. We are still working on eating…
Deb’s Broccoli Salad
Cue to Father’s Day probably 15 years ago. It’s pool party time with several friends and neighbors for our annual BBQ. Sometimes the number of people change but one thing remains the same; really good food. The guys cook for us on Mother’s Day but Mark insists on manning the BBQ for Father’s Day. Okay,…
Blueberry Breakfast Casserole
Breakfast after Pat’s Run is a tradition for us and our friends, Eric and Michele. Most times we head to a restaurant for a nice big breakfast, because we deserve it. This year we talked about our post-run breakfast at a new breakfast place but there were eleven of us. That could be a challenge…
Cool Lemony Delight
Easter in Arizona is always an adventure, weather wise. After our winters are over, we look forward nervously to the warming temperatures of spring. We don’t want the 90’s to arrive too soon because that means the 100’s are not far behind. If only we could have January and February temps year-round, sigh. Most times…
Super Spinach Salad
Sometimes you just need a big salad for lunch or dinner. I don’t order salads in restaurants all that often. Most times they are way too big or are drowning in salad dressing. When I do, I order the dressing on the side and ask for a take-out container right away. In my head, it’s…
