Make your way back down to Payson’s Green Valley Park by 8 a.m. for a special patriotic program at the Veterans Memorial, which will be followed by a reading of the Declaration of Independence by area volunteers.* Back up in Pine, to celebrate the holiday, the Pine Strawberry Arts & Crafts Guild will host its 35th Annual Arts and Crafts Festival at the Pine Community Center from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, July 4 and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, July 5. More than 75 vendors from around the state will have a wide variety of works available. There will be live entertainment by the
local band, Trouble in Paradise, plus the always-popular Navajo tacos prepared by the staff and volunteers of the Pine Strawberry Senior Dining Room. Vendors will have other food choices available for sale as well. Part of the fun in Northern Gila County for the Fourth festivities should include a visit on up the hill to the Fossil Creek Creamery Saturday, July 4 where events will be held to raise more money for Rim Country kids. Farm tours are at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. and cost $10 per person; a picnic lunch will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. There is a choice of two menus, one for $12 per plate, the other for $10 per plate.

Live music by the band Take Cover! starts at 4 p.m. and continues until 9 p.m.* The fireworks show over Green Valley Park’s big lake is scheduled to start at 9 p.m., however, weather may cause a delay,

but as soon as conditions permit, the night sky of Rim Country will come alive.* Parking is limited, so every year special arrangements are made to shuttle guests from Payson High School to the park at no charge. To reach PHS, go to the traffic light at Highways 87 and 260 and turn west onto Longhorn Road; continue on Longhorn to McLane Road, where there is a stop sign, turn left on McLane and go a short distance to the entrance of PHS, park there and catch the shuttle. The shuttle service starts at 5:30 p.m. and returns guests to their vehicles following the fireworks show. The show is expected to be 30 minutes in length and is sponsored not only by the Town of Payson, but also by the Northern Gila County Sanitary District. The district partnered with the town to build Green Valley Park as a water reclamation project and is still part owner of the facility, according to Joel Goode, executive director for NGCSD. He said the district has helped sponsor the fireworks show for about the last five years and provides funds for continued improvements to the site. He said he loves seeing the community — and visitors — come out and see what a beautiful park the town has as a true centerpiece. Native Air is also a sponsor of the event. *More details of this event are in an accompanying story.

After weather significantly delayed the fireworks show last year in Green Valley Park, town officials are hoping for clear skies for this year’s Fourth of July show and have taken a few precautions in case things don’t go as planned. Police Chief Don Engler encouraged residents to register their cell phone number with the fire department’s emergency alert system, known as Nixle. In the event of weather, the town will send out messages through the system. During other times of the year, the fire department uses Nixle to send out alerts on wildfires and other public safety information. Go online to http://www. paysonaz.gov/Departments/fire/fire-alerts. html. In addition, the Take Cover! band is scheduled to stay on until the fireworks show starts. Last year, the band left at 9 p.m., taking the only public announcement system with them. Due to rain, the show was more than an hour late and many people were in their vehicles and headed home when the show finally started. In the event of a delay this year, organizers will use the speakers and microphone to let the crowd know what is going on and when the show could start, Engler said. And the fireworks show should be more spectacular than ever. Kendon Victor, pyrotechnic planning specialist with Fireworks Production of Arizona, said the fireworks manufacturer has developed some new, colorful displays and effects. “The show will be as spectacular and as fiery as ever before,” he said. Fireworks Production of Arizona has produced Payson’s fireworks show as long as anyone can remember. Victor said it is the first and only fireworks company for many of the cities and towns in Arizona, going into business some 60 years ago. This Fourth of July will be a record breaker for the company, putting on 62 shows around the state in one day and another 20 shows throughout the week. The company has six full-time employees and calls on contracted employees for shows. Most of these pyros, as they are known, hold normal jobs the rest of the year, working in everything from real estate to dentistry. For a smaller show at a golf course they have one head pyro and three or four support staff. For Mesa’s fireworks show, they
bring on more than a dozen people to set off the displays. Payson’s $20,000 show, which will run 30 minutes, includes 6,145 aerial effects — this includes 945 individual shells, which spectators recognize as the large, single pops of color that go some 300 feet into the sky. There will also be 34 multiple effect basins, which go 150 feet in the sky and include sparklers and multiple colors, including Chrysanthemums, Rings, Waves, Crowns, Peonies, Strobes, Double Rings, Brocade Crowns, Diadems and Crossettes in gorgeous reds, yellows, blues, greens, silvers and golds. The Grand Finale will consist of 183 aerial shells, 108 of them 2.5 inches and 75 of them three inches. Before the show even starts, a lot of work goes into getting the area at the park ready and making sure conditions are right. The town has cleared the grasses at the west end of Green Valley Lake where crews will set up their equipment. The fire department will make sure there aren’t any places for wayward sparks to start the forest on the fire and keeps a close eye on things throughout the show, hoses tapped and ready to go. If it is raining, the fireworks will have to wait for it to stop because fuses don’t work so well wet, Victor said. “We can shoot in a light rain, but there is no magic number with rain,” he said. The biggest challenge: wind. If it is too windy, sparks can drift into an area “we don’t want them to go.” “Sometimes delays happen, but people should remember they always take place for safety reasons.” Payson’s show is scheduled to start at 9 p.m., Saturday, July 4. Because of the large influx of visitors expected, Engler encourages everyone to utilize the free shuttle system. Buses will run every 15 minutes or so from the Payson High School parking lot off McLane Road to the park. The fireworks display and festivities at Green Valley Park are sponsored by the Town of Payson, the Northern Gila County Sanitary District and Native Air. The event often attracts at least 1,000 spectators and frequently more. So get to the park early, stake out your spot with a blanket or lawn chairs — bring a picnic supper, or at least some water — and settle in for some great fun, terrific music and a dazzling Rim Country night sky. Have fun. Be courteous. Be safe.

It is the 4th of July/July 4 on calendars, but it is also noted as “Independence Day.” On the fourth day of July 1776 — after weeks of debate and maneuvering, 56 men from the 13 colonies of America signed a document and declared the independence of those colonies from Great Britain. Most of us are familiar with some of the phrases that gave birth to this country … “When in the course of human events …” “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” The capitalization of the words Creator, Rights, Life, Liberty and Happiness are in the document. How much more of the Declaration of Independence do most of us know? How many of us
have read it from start to finish? A group of men and women have read the words of this document aloud at the start of each Fourth of July celebration in Green Valley Park for 10 years. They will again share these most important words early Saturday, July 4 following a patriotic ceremony at the park’s Veterans Memorial. The event at the memorial starts at 8 a.m., Saturday, July 4 and then moves to a nearby spot where volunteers will read the Declaration of Independence. If you have time, go online and Google “Declaration of Independence” and you will get several sites to visit; choose the first, the National Archives and Records Administration. Read the Declaration of Independence for yourself, maybe even print a hard copy and hold it in your hands; if you have children, share it with them. Talk about it and get a sense of why we are celebrating.

Featured holiday celebration band has familiar look BY KEITH MORRIS ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER
If you found yourself in Green Valley Park enjoying the country sounds of the band Whiskey Rose on June 27, you might think you’re experiencing some strange form of déjà vu when you attend Payson’s Fourth of July celebration this Saturday. That’s because the band on stage will look very familiar, minus a cowboy hat and plaid shirt or two. But the band performing on July 4 is the rock ’n’ roll band Take Cover! — and it’s the same four musicians. Jay Klepinger (drums) and Brian Stewart (bass, vocals) needed a guitar player and lead singer for their band, Take Cover!. So they combined with Scott Conti (guitar, vocals), who had played with them before starting the country band Whiskey Rose. He brought with him his girlfriend, Selena Coates (lead vocals), who also sang in the country band. “So we combined Whiskey Rose and Take Cover! and now we can play the best of country and the best of rock and roll together,” said Klepinger, who also helps coordinate and book shows for both bands. The combination brought a creative energy — and more booking to the eclectic group of musicians. The group now includes a banker, a music teacher, the owner of a recording studio and an activities director for a health plan. The four have really been busy since joining forces. The ability to transform
from a country to rock band at the drop of a 10-gallon hat (pun intended) led to many more bookings, mostly in the Valley. The two bands played 104 shows in 2014, compared to 65 shows a year as Take Cover! Take Cover! originally featured Klepinger, Stewart, a guitar player and a lead vocalist. Conti originally joined up after seeing the band’s ad on Craig’s List. “We were so impressed with Scott’s professionalism, talent and how well prepared he was to play our set,” Klepinger said. “And his lifestyle is like ours, meaning we don’t drink, don’t smoke. We were very fortunate to find him.” All the musicians also have other careers. “I wouldn’t have the things I need if I was just a full-time musician,” Klepinger said. “With a family of nine, music provides support and a nice change of pace from my career. “My slogan is: ‘I’m a banker by day and rocker by night.’ It’s kind of my release. It’s fun. Watching people have a good time brings me joy. It’s something I look forward to on the weekends.” Coates, who is an activities director at Humana and also teaches line dancing, was named the California Country Music Association Artist of the Year in 1997. Stewart owns a recording studio and has recorded four CDs of his original music and is working on a fifth. Conti teaches guitar, piano and bass at all three School of Rock locations in the Valley. Before moving to the Valley at the
age of 31, Conti grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y. and studied music at Rutgers University, where he wrote musical soundtracks. Conti has recorded five alternative rock and instrumental albums and prior to joining Take Cover! He first performed in a band called Tribal Soul, whose music was played around the world. “We were offered a long-term deal by a record label out of England called Green Pepper Junction,” Conti said. “One of the singles off our first album was played across the country before movies in movie theaters because we won the Independent
Music Awards and that was the prize.” Klepinger said spectators could expect Take Cover! to play about 70 percent rock and 30 percent country during their five-hour set at Green Valley Park on Independence Day. “We’ll play five 45-to-50-minute sets,” he said. “So we’re going to have a lot of music, 60-65 songs. We’ll have a great variety from R&B, blues, pop, southern rock and classic rock and country. To find out more about both bands, visit their websites at www.takecoveraz.com and www.whiskeyrosebandaz.com.

Moments in American Revolutionary history Americans celebrate their independence from British rule every July Fourth. Celebrations typically include fireworks, parades and parties. While the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 was a seminal moment in both American and world history, the following are some notable events that took place in the years preceding 1776 and helped to shape the country now known as the United States of America. • 1765: The Passage of the Stamp Act marked the first major form of taxation on British colonists living in what is now America. The act imposed taxes on printed materials to help offset the costs of British troops in the colonies and replenish British debts. Colonists were upset they had no say in how taxes were levied or how the money would be spent. • 1767: After repealing the Stamp Act, Britain imposed the Townshend Acts, a series of taxes on various British goods, including tea. Again, colonists were outraged, spurring a boycott on British goods. • 1770: The Boston Massacre involved a crowd of colonists and a collection of British soldiers. The soldiers opened fire on the crowd, killing five and wounding six others. This incident helped increase anti-British sentiments in the colonies. • 1773: A few years after the Boston Massacre, colonists boarded British ships in the Boston harbor and threw the tea into the sea as protest against the Tea Act. Known as The Boston Tea Party, this event proved a catalyst for revolution. • 1774: After the Intolerable Acts aimed to punish colonists for The Boston Tea party, delegates from 12 of the original 13 colonies met illegally to form the First Continental Congress. They convened to
discuss plans for dealing with various British offenses. Congress also developed political statements against the British and urged people to boycott British goods. The first president of this congress was Payton Randolph. John Hancock was appointed president the following year after the monarchy ignored the first Congress’ petition. • 1775: The British governor of Massachusetts sent several hundred British troops to seize military supplies from the colonists at Concord. When the colonists discovered the plan, they sent their own militia to intercept the forces at Lexington. The British would win at Lexington but were defeated at Concord. Throughout 1775, many other clashes between colonists and British troops took place, eventually culminating in an event that would forever change American history. • 1776: On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, which formally proclaimed American colonies independent from Britain. However, Britain was not willing to bend to colonists’ wishes. • 1776-1783: Several battles took place during this time period, including Moore’s Creek Bridge, Sullivan’s Island and Fort Washington. France was brought into the war in 1777. A successful sea-andland campaign of American and French armies led to the surrender of British troops at Yorktown. • 1783: Nearly two decades after colonists began voicing their displeasure with British laws, the American Revolution formally ended on Sept. 3, 1783 with the Treaty of Paris. The British Empire accepted defeat and recognized the independence of the United States of America.
Did you know? The Fourth of July has been a federal holiday since 1941. Though that may seem like a long time for the country to wait to celebrate the independence it declared in 1776, the tradition of the Fourth of July, often referred to as Independence Day, dates back to the dawn of the American Revolution and the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Since then, July 4th has been recognized as the dawn of American independence, and celebrations that included fireworks and parades can be traced back to the 18th century. On July 4, 1777, the city of Philadelphia, which would become the first capital of the United States of America, held the first annual commemoration of American independence, and exactly one year later George Washington ordered that all of his soldiers be offered double rations of rum to commemorate the anniversary. In 1781, Massachusetts was the first state to make July 4th an official state holiday, and the day was actually declared a federal holiday by the U.S. Congress in 1870. However, that declaration did not grant a paid holiday to federal employees. That benefit came in 1941, which is why that year is now recognized as the first year when the Fourth of July officially became a federal holiday.

Country music star Mark Wills performs in front of more than 2,000 elated service members during the USO Sergeant Major of the Army’s 2006 Hope and Freedom Tour.
Award-winning country star part of 4th festivities Mark Wills, an award-winning Country Music Association artist, is performing at the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino Friday, July 3. Wills has been touring the U.S. playing his top country hits including his 2010 No. 1 smash hit “19 Somethin’”; “Jacob’s Ladder”; “Don’t Laugh at Me”; “I Do (Cherish You)” and more. Mark Wills was born Daryl Mark Williams on Aug. 8, 1973 in Cleveland, Tenn. His family later moved to Georgia. In his teenage years, Wills played in garage bands, taking inspiration from rock groups such as Bon Jovi. During his young adulthood, however, he began to take an interest in country music. He entered a local talent contest in Marietta, Ga., at age 17, and after winning the contest, he began to perform locally. From there, he went to work as a demo singer in Atlanta, Ga., before doing the same in Nashville. While in Nashville, he was discovered by record producers Carson Chamberlain and Keith Stegall, who helped him sign to a recording contract with Mercury Records Nashville. Wills’ self-titled debut album was released in 1996 under the production of Chamberlain and Stegall. Its lead-off single, “Jacob’s Ladder” went to No. 6 on the country charts. “High Low and In Between” — the B-side to “Jacob’s Ladder” — was the next single, reaching No. 33. Finishing off the single releases was the No. 5 “Places I’ve Never Been.” “Wish You Were Here” was the title of Wills’ second album. This was his most commercially successful album, earning a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. The lead-off single “I Do (Cherish You)” and its followup, “Don’t Laugh at Me,” both reached No. 2 on the country charts, with the former bringing him to the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time. Following the pair of No. 2-peaking songs was the album’s title track. Co-written by Bill Anderson, Skip Ewing and Debbie Moore, it became Wills’ first No. 1 hit in 1999. Wills received an Academy of Country Music award for Top New Male Vocalist in 1999. Tickets for the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino show are on sale now and cost $50 for preferred seating, this includes a special personal meet and greet with the artist prior to concert from 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. and $30 general admission. All seating is first come, first served. Doors open at 7 p.m. The opening act, Bonfire, starts at 7:30 p.m., with Wills starting at 9 p.m. Must be 21 or older to attend.

Independence Day only comes once a year, so make it count and invite your favorite guests over for a memorable event. You’ll go out with a bang when you serve up these palate-pleasing dishes at your patriotic party. Grilling season is already in full swing, but there are plenty of options to take your grilling menus to another flavorful level. Tips and tricks to make your grill sizzle If the idea of longer, warmer days has you reaching for the tongs, it’s time to get your grilling game on. Serving family and friends the most mouth-watering grilled entrees with ease requires a little know-how and a few crowd-pleasing recipes. From versatile chicken to hearty ribs to tender seafood, it’s never been more fun to incorporate new flavors into grilled cuisine. For the best results on the grill, keep these tips in mind: • A grill is not an oven, so don’t walk away from it when it’s on. Organize what you’ll need ahead of time; no running back and forth. • Always scrape hot grill grates clean with a wire brush so food will release more easily. Before cooking, try using tongs to dip paper towels lightly into oil and swipe over the grates. • If the meat or skin sticks, it’s not ready to be turned. Let it sit for another minute or two. • Try chicken thighs, which have a deeper, richer flavor than breast meat. • The pork tenderloin can withstand the dry heat of the grill and stay moist. • Salmon, tuna and swordfish steaks grill well because they are thick and crumble less than other types of fish. • A safe internal temperature for cooked ground beef is 160 degrees; medium steak is 140 degrees. Heat poultry to 165 degrees and whole cuts like breasts to 170 degrees. Medium pork should be 150 degrees. Seafood should be 145 degrees. • For maximum flavor and juiciness, let meat rest 5 to 10 minutes before cutting or serving. FRESH OFF THE GRILL
“For a red-white-and-blue burger that tastes as good as it looks, I use ground bison on a brioche bun, topped with Castello Burger Blue Cheese,” says celebrity chef Michael Symon. For more recipes, visit castellocheeseusa.com. BISON BURGER WITH BLUE CHEESE

GET AWAY FROM GRILLING
A summer celebration does not need to rely on goodies from the grill. You might opt for cooler main dish fair such as —
4 slices Castello Burger Blue Cheese 4 brioche-style soft hamburger buns, toasted 1 small red onion, very thinly sliced into rings 1 cup arugula Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Season burgers with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Drizzle with olive oil, then place on grill. Cook 3 minutes, then flip. Add slices of blue cheese (1 slice per burger), and let cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove burgers from grill and place patties on toasted buns. Top each burger with slice of red onion and 1/4 of arugula. Makes 4 servings.
The barbecue and sausage experts at Johnsonville recommend incorporating your favorite flavors from various world cuisines into your outdoor entertaining menu. One example is the unique combination of flavors found in the Vietnamese banh mi — a sandwich layered with savory grilled meat, crisp vegetables and a touch of spice atop a crusty baguette. The options for international variations of grilled grub are limitless; here are a few other ideas: • Mexican: Top your bratwurst with pico de gallo, guacamole or refried beans. Enjoy on a lightly toasted tortilla with melted cheese instead of a bun. • Greek: Give the gyro a twist by substituting brats for the lamb, and serve in a pita with shredded lettuce, tomato and tzatziki. • Italian: Enjoy sausage with roasted peppers or with marinara sauce instead of your favorite condiment. Or serve up this flavorful sandwich, which incorporates crunchy red and bell peppers, with juicy Johnsonville mild Italian sausage links. It’s sure to be a hit
around your backyard grill. For additional entertaining recipes and ideas, visit www.johnsonville.com. BRAT BANH MI
1/2 cup thinly sliced baby carrots 1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes 1/4 cup (or to taste) thinly sliced fresh jalapenos 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger 1/2 cup rice vinegar 2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon (or to taste) salt 3 ounces Braunschweiger 1-1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise 5 tablespoons Thai-style sweet red chili sauce 1 tablespoon finely minced onion 6 Johnsonville Bratwurst Grillers 2 crusty French baguettes (8 to 12 ounces, 22 to 24 inches long) 1 cup thinly sliced Persian or English cucumbers 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint 1/2 cup cilantro, stems removed In small saucepan, mix carrots, radishes, jalapenos, ginger, rice vinegar, sugar and salt, and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and allow to steep. Mix Braunschweiger, mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce and onion. Grill frozen Johnsonville bratwurst burgers according to directions. A few minutes before burgers are done, slice baguettes lengthwise, but not all the way through. Brush bottom half on cut side of bread lightly with remaining sweet chili sauce and place opened baguettes cut side down over grilling burgers until bread is warmed and slightly toasted around edges. Spread Braunschweiger mixture on bottom half of bread. Cut each brat burger in half and tuck into sandwich, rounded side out. Using slotted spoon, top burgers with marinated vegetables and cucumbers, mint and cilantro. Cut between patty halves for individual sandwiches. GYRO BRAT HOAGIE

MY FAVORITE SUMMER TREATS
I cannot do this particular article without including my two favorite recipes for summer treats. I know I’ve shared one before, and maybe both, but they are so incredibly easy and delicious, you just have to try them. ARIZONA AMBROSIA (AKA ORANGE STUFF IN MY FAMILY)
1, 8-ounce tub frozen whipped topping, thawed 2, 4-serving packages sugar-free orange Jell-O 2 small cans mandarin oranges, drained 1, 20-ounce can crushed pineapple, drained 1, 8-ounce container of low fat or fat free cottage cheese 2 cups pecan halves or bits Combine dry orange Jell-O with whipped topping, fold in cottage cheese (or start with cottage cheese and Jell-O and then fold in whipped topping) Add the drained fruit and most of the pecans. Combine — do this gently to keep the whipped topping from “disintegrating” too much. Smooth out top and sprinkle with reserved pecans. Chill an hour or two or overnight — or not at all.
BACK TO THE BEEF
If you don’t want family and friends asking, “Where’s the beef?” you might try Steak & German Potato Salad STEAK & GERMAN POTATO SALAD
Servings: 4; preparation time: 15 minutes; cooking time: 15 minutes 1, 15-ounce can READ German Potato Salad (or similar deli version 2 tablespoons coarse ground Dijon-style mustard 1/2 pound boneless top sirloin steak, cut 1 inch thick 1, 10-ounce bag hearts of romaine lettuce Stir together potato salad and mustard in medium bowl; set aside. Heat medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Place steak in skillet and cook about 15 minutes until medium rare doneness (145 degrees); turn occasionally. Cool steak. Carve diagonally across grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices; reserve. Just before serving, gently toss steak with potato salad. Serve over greens.
MORE SALADS FOR SUMMER MEALS
Yes, salads are year-round staples, but when the weather turns warm, they take on a more prominent position on menus. Salads that go a little beyond the basics can add another dimension of deliciousness to your summer meals — whether it’s
a Fourth of July celebration or just a family get-together in the backyard. BEAN, TORTELLINI & PESTO SALAD
Servings: 6; preparation time: 15 minutes; cooking time: 10 minutes 2, 15-ounce cans READ 3 or 4 Bean Salad (or similar or drain and dump some different cans of beans together) 1/4 cup prepared basil pesto 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional) 1, 9-ounce package refrigerated tortellini, any variety Drain bean salad; reserve 1/2 cup liquid. Combine reserved liquid, pesto and salt, if desired; set aside. Cook tortellini according to package directions; drain, rinse in cold water and drain again. Add pesto dressing; toss to coat. Add stir-ins if desired. Toss with bean salad. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Note: Recipe can be doubled.— I have not tried this yet, but not being a fan of basil, a quick check on Wikipedia shows spinach can be used instead of basil, walnuts in place of the pricey pine nuts traditionally found with basil pesto and vegetable oil instead of olive oil — or any combination. Optional Stir-Ins: Grape tomatoes or halved cherry tomatoes, chopped bell pepper and thinly sliced green onion.
Whether it’s a quick side for the weeknight family dinner or a picnic or potluck, this Southwestern Bean & Quinoa combination is a delicious, good-for-you choice that’s as easy as 1-2-3. First cook up some quinoa; it’s simple and will be ready in about 15 minutes. While it cooks, chop and slice the vegetables and whisk up the cilantro-lime dressing. Next comes READ Southwestern Bean

Salad (or drain a few cans of your favorite beans, reserve the liquid for future use, and make your own Bean Salad), the secret ingredient that adds great flavor and saves tons of time in the kitchen. Combine the zesty Tex-Mex seasoned mixture of black beans, kidney beans, corn and hominy with the quinoa and veggies, add the aromatic dressing, toss and go. Serve it as a meatless main dish, or to accompany grilling favorites like chicken or pork. It’s versatile, too. Easily double the recipe for a large gathering, or, change up the vegetables for other favorites that are in-season or on-hand in the fridge. Try sliced radishes, celery, zucchini, cucumber, green onion, green peas or cut green beans. Visit www.ReadSalads.com for additional recipes and serving suggestions. SOUTHWESTERN BEAN & QUINOA SALAD WITH CILANTRO-LIME DRESSING
Preparation time: 25 minutes; makes 4 servings 1, 15-ounce can READ Southwestern Bean Salad 1/2 cup red cherry tomatoes, halved 1/2 cup yellow cherry tomatoes, halved 1/2 cup chopped tomatillos 1/2 cup thin bell pepper strips 2 cups cooked quinoa Dressing 1-1/2 tablespoons canola oil 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1/2 teaspoon shredded lime peel 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste) 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (don’t like cilantro, I don’t, flat leaf Italian parsley can be substituted) Drain bean salad. Discard liquid or save for another use (it can probably be incorporated into a sauce of some kind or into soup).
It is so refreshing it is a regular family request for holiday get-togethers. Usually I double it up and keep some in reserve for myself — it’s a light and fruity breakfast with the benefit of cottage cheese and pecans, as well as a fantastic dessert. STRAWBERRIES & “SHORT CAKE”
When we visited my Grandma McQuerrey back in Oklahoma in the summer and she said she was fixing strawberries for a meal, she didn’t mean just raw strawberries. She would open a couple of containers of frozen, sliced strawberries, douse them in sugar (probably about two cups) and let them macerate in their juice and the slowly dissolving sugar. In the mean time she would make pie crust that wasn’t pie crust — it was the recipe she used for pie crust, but rather than rolling it out and fitting it into a pie pan, she would roll it out more or less in a square or rectangle and cut strips, usually about four inches long and a scant inch wide. Those would go into the oven to bake and then be allowed to cool when they were done. Finally the oh-so-juicy and sweet strawberries were given a stir and served over the pie crust strips, which soaked up the juice and crumbled creating a concoction that melted in our mouths — no whipped topping needed. I have never mastered making pie crusts, but the ready-made kind in the freezer section come pretty close to Grandma’s. They can be unfolded, cut into somewhat thin rectangular strips, baked and served with the same strawberry and sugar mix she gave us all those years ago. Happy summer feasting!

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A perplexing situation needs to be dealt with in order to avoid problems later on. Rely on both your own sense of what’s right and the advice of someone you trust to help work it out. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Let your sharp Taurean business insight guide you when considering a “dream deal.” Without all the facts, it could turn into a nightmare. Remember: Investigate before investing. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Sharing so much of your time and your gifts with others is what you do so well, and this week, don’t be surprised if others want to share with you. Enjoy the experience. You’ve earned it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A difficult personal situation seems to defy efforts to resolve it. Perhaps you’re too close to it. Take some time to reassess what went wrong, and then see where things can be set right. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Leonine pride could be piqued a bit when someone else appears to be standing in your light. Be patient and resist the urge to growl at the interloper. You’ll soon be the “mane” attraction again. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A professional situation benefits from your clear assessment of the circumstances involved. On the personal side, that new relationship looks as if it will continue to grow. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) More good news about a loved one helps reassure others who could not share your more-optimistic view before. Continue to help everyone in need of your comforting presence. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Creating new friendships could turn out to be the unexpected but welcome result of reconnecting with old friends. The weekend is a good time for fun and games. Enjoy! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) The more you learn about what you plan to do, the more likely you are to consider making some changes in your plans. This is good; don’t resist it. Instead, go with it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A career change is still in your aspect, but a potential workplace change could be what you’ve been looking for. See what develops before making any drastic moves. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your energy levels are high this week, which should help you get all your workaday tasks done and still leave you with enough breath to handle some domestic challenges. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) An unexpected fluke could cause problems with your travel plans. If so, use the time to troll for other available options, and you might be pleasantly surprised at what turns up. BORN THIS WEEK: You enjoy the company of lots of people, but you also can treasure the moments shared with just one special person. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
