Playing Near Happy Jack & Mormon Lake
Memorial Day is the unofficial beginning of summer for most of the country. Here in the Arizona desert, it started with our first 100 degree day. This year it was early, too early, way back on April 10th. Memorial Day for many desert dwellers means heading to the lake or up in altitude to the…
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…

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…
