Water usage and rest of summer

S

ummer is quickly passing by, and many great things have happened and are still happening in our city. I thought it would be appropriate to update you on a few of those things.

First, I want to recognize all those who were involved in Cherry Days. The events were outstanding, and I have received many positive comments from citizens. I appreciate the many residents of our community and others who stepped forward to help with Cherry Days. I also appreciate the city employees who did their part. It was gratifying to see the spirit of volunteerism that exists in our community.

The long-awaited opening of the expanded intersection at 2600 N and 400 E took place on July 14th, after many years of planning. Thanks to our public works team for their tireless efforts, Granite Construction, and our citizens for their patience. The restriping of 2600 N will begin shortly and will provide turn lanes at the respective intersections. We feel this will help with the flow of traffic. The restriping will prohibit parking on 2600 N. At the city council meeting held on July 13th, several important decisions were made. As Mayor, I declared a Critical Water Emergency Proclamation that limits the use of culinary water. This proclamation was issued to assist in conserving our precious water resources. The use of culinary water is limited to the following:

1. essential needs such as cooking, bathing, drinking, and washing clothes 2. watering livestock, residential gardens, trees, shrubs, and flowers,

utilizing a garden hose; there can be no connection of culinary water to sprinkler systems

3. agricultural use can be authorized by obtaining a no-cost permit from the public works department; permits will be issued on a limited basis

The use of culinary water on lawns is strictly prohibited.

As part of this proclamation, the city council passed fines for the violation of the proclamation. The first infraction will result in a warning. The second infraction will result in a fine of $250 and disconnection of water until the fine is paid. A third infraction will result in a $500 fine and disconnection of water until the fine is paid. Further violations constitute a misdemeanor that will result in the temporary disconnection of water and require an appearance before a judge, who will determine the fine. It is our hope that, through education, violations can be avoided.

The council also voted to keep Pleasant View Drive open and limit access to right turns only onto and from Washington Blvd. The intersection at 2650 N and 400 E will also be limited to right turns, with no access to Pleasant View Drive from 2650 N. The city will hold a Truth in Taxation Hearing at the Senior Citizen Center on August 3rd, at 6:00 p.m. I invite you to attend and provide input as we make important decisions regarding tools needed to retain and recruit public safety officers.

Be safe and enjoy the remaining days of summer!

City of North Ogden COMMUNITY QUESTION CORNER

BY JON CALL, CITY MANAGER/ATTORNEY

Resident’s Question: Can I use culinary water on my landscaping?

Answer. Yes, but only temporarily. Historically, North Ogden City has always prohibited the use of culinary water for landscaping and other irrigation purposes. With the current drought and the potential for the early disconnection of Pineview Water, the mayor and council have passed an emergency declaration which allows for individuals to use culinary water to keep shrubs, trees, gardens, and livestock alive, in addition to normal household uses. Culinary water has never been allowed to be used on lawns, and the new temporary rules do not allow it either. With this flexibility, it is important to note that more strict penalties and standards will be imposed for those who decide to abuse this. The Water Supervisor and others have been involved in this decision-making process and are keeping an eye on water needs and usages, with an emphasis on prioritizing water for indoor water use. You can keep up to date on water restrictions starting August 1st through October 15th on the North Ogden City website, on the red banner at the top of the screen: www.northogdencity.com.

If you have questions about proper procedures, city code, building permits, community events, how-to's, or other cityrelated questions, please send an email to jcall@nogden.org.

Water-Wise Landscaping

BY KATIE GERARD

Current North Ogden City Ordinances permit xeriscape and water-wise landscaping in both residential and commercial areas. It is important to note that xeriscaping does not mean “zero” landscaping. City Code 5-7 Protective Ground Cover defines ground covering landscaping as: “A landscaping technique which utilizes a variation of plants, grass, shrubs, trees, mulch, underlayment, rocks, and other similar natural and manmade components as determined by the building official, which are used to control weeds, erosion, dust, runoff, and other nuisances from harming neighboring property owners. Protective ground cover shall be a conscious effort through planning, designing, and cultivation of the property.

Allowing the natural growth of any plant variety which takes root does not qualify as protective ground cover. Natural landscaping is allowed when care is taken to remove nonnative species of plants. It shall be unlawful for the owner or occupant of any real property to allow to grow on such property any noxious weeds or other noxious vegetable growth as determined by the Utah noxious weed act or Weber County health department to be especially injurious to public health, crops, livestock, land, or other property.”

The city is doing its part to be responsive to the ongoing drought conditions. We encourage our residents and business owners to delay installation of new landscaping due to the shortened watering season from our irrigation partners.

Our regional partners have resources for those who would like to learn more about water conservation and landscaping that works best for our unique climate. For an in-person look at various water-wise landscaping, look to Weber Basin Water Conservancy District’s Learning Garden located at 2837 East Highway 193 Layton, UT. If you have any questions about landscaping on your property, please contact Scott Hess, Planning Director, at 801-737-9841.

“Court is Adjourned” Judge Patrick E. Lambert is retiring after 39 years as North Ogden’s Justice Court Judge.

A

BY KATIE GERARD

s a young man getting his education, Pat Lambert never planned to be a judge, much less a judge for almost four decades. A lifelong resident of North Ogden, Judge Lambert attended local schools and graduated from Weber High School. After he married his wife, Sheri, they settled in North Ogden and raised their family here.

Pat went on to graduate from Weber State College with a degree in Sociology. Though jobs were hard to come by in the early 70s, he found employment as an orderly at St. Benedict’s Hospital in Ogden, where he eventually became the Director of Social Work. After working in this position, Pat realized that he did not enjoy the medical field and began to look for other job opportunities. He started working in the juvenile court as a probation officer and became a supervisor there. This led to employment with Adult Probation & Parole, where he started in probation and then moved into parole. Later, he worked as a prerevocation hearing officer for the Utah Board of Pardons.

All this experience and training did not go unnoticed by others. Pat started working for the Division of Youth Corrections. He was approached by North Ogden City in 1982 to see if he would be interested in being the municipal justice court judge. At the time, he was doing administrative disciplinary hearings for Youth Corrections at the State Youth Development Center. Initially, Pat was not interested. He was busy in his career and had a young family.

Pat was approached again and finally agreed to what was then a very part-time job. Pat continued in Youth Corrections, eventually becoming an administrator there.

The years sped by, and his family grew. Judge Lambert was now a seasoned judge and still a very young man. More courts in Weber County sought his experience on the bench.

He was appointed to the bench in four

northogdenconnection.com | August 2021

other jurisdictions: Washington Terrace/Marriott-Slaterville (1994), Farr West (2002), Pleasant View (2003), and Uintah/Huntsville (2007) Justice Courts.

After 23 years as an administrator with the Division of Youth Corrections and a total of 32 years with the State of Utah, Judge Lambert retired from state service in 2004 but remained on the bench. His “part-time” job as a judge had become a full-time job.

Judge Lambert is known far and wide for his informed, fair, and consistent presence on the bench in his many jurisdictions. He strives to promote understanding of the law to citizens. He is unfailingly kind, patient, and calm to all who come before him in court.

Judge Lambert is an excellent administrator and inspires the best in all his clerks. He leads by example. When a change in the law or a change or update in court programs affect procedural change in the court, he is swift to make the change and educate himself and his staff to ensure compliance and comprehension.

Judge Lambert is an understanding and compassionate supervisor, which makes his staff want to work even harder. He interacts well with attorneys, bailiffs, prosecutors, probation agencies, and other city employees. He is well liked by all and brings with him a presence which commands respect.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

A lifelong resident of North Ogden, Judge Lambert is known for being fair, kind, patient, and calm to those who have come before him in court. We will miss him, and wish him well!

Many citizens have commented over the years on how happy they are with how they have been treated in court and that, because Judge Lambert takes the time to explain the law, defendants are much calmer as they finally understand more about their charges and their options.

Judge Lambert also has a sense of humor that has diffused more than one tense moment in court.

We at North Ogden City wish Judge Lambert well. His presence will be greatly missed, but he has earned this time to be with his family and doing more of the things he loves.

E

ntrepreneurship came easy to James Roylance because his father also ran his own business. His father, William, was born in 1819, in Cheshire, England. In 1841, the family was ready to embark on a trip to America. The Roylances set sail on the ship Echo. Meanwhile, William’s future wife, Mary, also embarked on a journey to America from England, with other Latter-day Saints, on the ship Alesto. The two met and married in the Burlington neighborhood of Des Moines, Iowa.

There, William supported his family as a self-made shoemaker, butcher, farmer, tanner, and surveyor. During this time, James was born.

Early Entrepreneur: James Roylance James became one of the earliest well drillers in North Ogden, with wells producing 40 gallons of water a minute.

Eventually, the family followed the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the plains. First, they lived in Salt Lake City but then moved to North Ogden. William took a second wife, Martha Jennet Smith. The two lived in Ogden, while Mary and her family were left in North Ogden to struggle alone. So, James had to step up to provide for the family.

James became one of the earliest well drillers in North Ogden.

He used a horse-powered drilling machine that could drill down to 100 feet. Steam-powered drillers were available in about 1905, and machines with gas engines came later. James was 50 years old before he traded in his horse and buggy for a

car. According to the North Ogden Museum, even the horsepowered wells were known to produce 40 gallons a minute.

The family occupation became mostly dairying, as it was the most consistent income. They milked the cows by hand and set the milk in large pans for the cream to rise. Then, they skimmed the cream off and made butter. They sold what they didn’t need to customers in Ogden. Combined, the two occupations made James enough money to support his wife, Georgina Ann Mariah Barnett, their thirteen children, and his mother. Mary lived with James after she divorced his father for leaving her stranded.

In the early 1930s, James’s well-digging legacy lived on via “The Stump” drinking fountain in North Ogden. He died in 1930, but his descendants kept digging wells. Originally a cottonwood tree stump from Frank Campbell’s yard near 2580 North 400 East, it was chiseled into a giant drinking fountain.

The artesian well water was tapped into by George Roylance, Jamess’ nephew. George was named after William’s father, the first of the Roylances to leave England. The stump deteriorated over time and later burned, leaving a concrete base for the crystal clear, refreshing, spring water fountain. A fiberglass replica of “The Stump’’ was added in 1998, after the stump

Right: George Roylance drilling Lomond View Dr. in 1920

rotted. Now, it’s surrounded by North Ogden City’s beautiful Centennial Park.

Today, Matt Roylance, George’s great grandson, designs drill bits for oil and gas well drilling. There are wells all over the city, providing enough water, oil, and gas for all of North Ogden. It became an industry all on its own, providing careers as well.

HILL AIR FORCE BASE An update on our local military location ECONOMIC IMPACT

BY HAILEY MINTON

Not everyone gets a regular roaring reminder of the freedoms we enjoy in the U.S. like we do here in Northern Utah. It seems to be a common perspective among the residents who live within earshot of the planes coming or going from Hill Air Force Base. The roaring of the jets is appreciated instead of being considered a nuisance. “That’s the sound of freedom,” have come out of many residents’ mouths.

We’ve noticed the construction happening at the different gates along the freeway, which got us curious about what they’re building. As I searched for answers, I came across some other interesting information that is worth sharing.

AIR SHOW

The biannual air show was canceled last year, but it will be back in 2022 and is scheduled for June 25th and 26th.

If you’ve never attended, you might need to put it on your bucket list. Beware, next year it’s probably going to have a bigger turnout than ever before. I’ve attended a few, and it was amazing to watch the Thunderbirds perform their aerial maneuvers. The Standard Examiner reported, “According to legislative documents from the 2019 general session, the show provides an approximately $50 million economic impact to Northern Utah.’’ Visitors come from out of state, stay in hotels, eat at restaurants, and visit other businesses.

Hill Air Force Base estimates their total annual economic impact on the area is over $4.5 billion. It ranks sixth as one of Utah’s major employers, but that only accounts for civilian employment. In 2020, there were 22,566 total personnel working within the base, 5,843 military personnel, 14,312 civilians, and 2,411 contractors. Civilian personnel are federal employees that are not active-duty military personnel.

Contractors are different from civilians because they aren’t government employees. They work for a company that operates at HAFB. Chances are, you know someone who works for Northrop-Grumman, Lockheed Martin, or BAE Systems at HAFB. This leads us to the construction we can see happening at HAFB.

CONSTRUCTION

The buildings going up just outside the West Gate, like Tru by Hilton Hotel, are a part of the Enhanced Use Lease program that allows the Air Force to lease underutilized land to a private entity. The Air Force uses the money from the rental income to fund additional buildings in the area. In total, there are plans for eight million square feet to be developed over

The roaring of the jets is appreciated instead of being considered a nuisance.

“That’s the sound of freedom,” have come out of many residents’ mouths.

the next 25 years as part of the EUL. This includes office space, retail outlets, restaurants, and hotels.

You can see the Roy Innovation Center going in by the Aerospace Museum. This is going to be a 231,000-square-foot Northrop Grumman facility. Kendahl Johnson is from the 75th Air Base Wing Public Affairs. In an article he wrote on the HAFB website, it says, “[This] will serve as future headquarters for the aerospace company’s work supporting the Department of Defense Ground Based Strategic Deterrent program. Several additional buildings are in the planning stages, in what will eventually include five new buildings at Hill and more than a million square feet of office and lab facilities. There will be office and administration space for 1,600-plus employees in each building. Brent Christensen is the EUL Chief, and he said, “We are making tremendous progress. The recession set us back some, but we are making great strides forward. By all counts, the Enhanced Use Lease program has been a major success.”

TRAFFIC MITIGATIONS

With growth comes more traffic, and here are the plans to mitigate it: There will be a new interchange and base entry point between the Roy gate at 5600 and the west gate, which is estimated to be completed in 2024. To accommodate the increased traffic in the area, the Roy and I-15 interchange at

5600 South will be widened, with a turn lane and acceleration lane added. A traffic light has also been added to the intersection to improve access to the museum and Northrop development.

HISTORY

As we’re talking about construction, let’s back up to the groundbreaking for construction of Hill Air Force Base, which occurred in 1940. The area was selected to build a permanent air depot for a few reasons. It has good year-round flying weather, and the climate is excellent for aircraft maintenance and material storage. It is also a strategic location inland for protection from possible enemy coastal attacks. The base was named after Major Ployer P. Hill, an early Air Corps Materiel Division pilot who lost his life in 1935 at Wright Field, Ohio, while testing the Boeing Model 299 aircraft. It was a preproduction demonstrator of the B-17 bomber, a bomber used primarily against German targets in World War II. I’ve become friends with a mom who has a daughter the same age as mine. She attends discovery time at our local library, and I found out her husband will be deployed until Christmas. My heart is full of gratitude for all those who serve, along with the families who make sacrifices as well. Thank you for playing a part in preserving the freedoms we enjoy as a country.

He really grew as he surrounded himself with other photographers.

Several years ago, he and his family were at temple square to watch a movie.

They walked past the reflection pond, and he saw a man with a tripod set up. “A voice in me told me I had to go back and talk with him.” That man was Bill Crnkovich, the founder of Wasatch Camera Club. He became one of Kevin’s best friends and a hugely influential mentor. Bill organized trips to go to places like Zion National Park. He and a car full of photographers talked about photography the entire drive. Kevin learned so much on those trips.

He recently learned how to capture the stars through night photography. “That is

literally paying off now.

An opportunity came to display his images in Ogden Clinic, and that set his career in motion. After retiring from the post office, he now works part time for Grizzly Graphics. He was drawn to them because he finally found a printer that could make a print look identical to the image on his computer screen. He does strictly landscape photography and is happy to be living his dream.

There was a time when Kevin became discouraged by the influx of photographers. He was investing a lot of money on equipment but not getting a return.

TIPS TO SHARE THE ROAD WITH BICYCLES

By Lisa D. - Acuity Insurance

INSURANCE CARRIERS Acuity Auto-Owners Insurance Bear River Mutual Blue Cross Blue Shield Central Insurance Companies Germantown Mutual Insurance Company Markel Insurance Company Mutual of Enumclaw Insurance Progressive Safeco Insurance

Driving comes with a lot of responsibilities. We must focus on operating our own vehicle while also looking out for other vehicles—including bicycles.

Bicyclists share the rights and responsibilities to follow the rules of the road; however, a person on a bicycle has far less protection than one inside a vehicle.

Here are some things to keep in mind to help keep everyone safe:

Don’t assume. Bike riders may not

always follow the same path as a car. They might swerve to avoid obstacles on the road, take up more space than you anticipate, change from riding on the sidewalk to riding on the street, or fall off their bicycle in a moment’s notice. Children on bikes are especially unpredictable.

Turn cautiously. Before turning,

Travelers

stop and look left-right-left and behind for any approaching bicyclist. Check your mirrors and blind spots. Yield to bicyclists the same as you would to motorists. Making eye contact with the bicyclist and waving acknowledges their presence and helps communicate intent.

USLI

Pass safely. When going to pass a

WCF Insurance

bicyclist, slow down. The draft from your vehicle’s speed could cause the bike rider to lose control and have an accident. Just as

you would pass a car, move into the left lane when it is safe to do so and pass with care.

Return to your lane after the bicyclist is in your rearview mirror.

Bike lanes. These are sections of the

road designated only for bicyclists so they have a space to ride safely. Look for signs and markings on the pavement to indicate where bike lanes are. Do not drive your vehicle in bike lanes.

Look before opening. Before

getting out of your vehicle, check the area outside your car door. This is always a good practice in case there is a motorist, bicyclist, or pedestrian nearby. You don’t want the door to hit anything or anyone, including a bicyclist.

Bike riding can be an enjoyable activity for all ages. Let’s help keep each other safe when sharing the road.

ountain Springs Esthetix celebrates six months in the community with several fun stories to share. Our first client discovered the spa after his eye doctor recommended a surgery to lift his brow off of his eyelid, so he could see better.

Lid Lift: On the very first visit, we were able

to lift the heavy lid and improve his vision with a simple non-invasive brow lift. It was so noninvasive, he fell asleep during the procedure.

This is the first of several sessions, so we are excited to see the lid continue to lift.

Wrinkle Reduction:

Here is a great example of wrinkle reduction. If you’ve been following Mountain Springs Esthetix on our Facebook page, you’ll recognize this from one of our demonstration videos. We love how the wrinkles under the eye vanished and the crow’s feet to the side are starting to fade.

This is a small sample of what the spa does.

Neck/Jowl Tightening: The next fun story

follows the tightening of the jowl and neck.

This client didn’t feel the last spa really heard what she wanted. After her first visit, she knew we were the right fit for her. She enjoys the comfort each visit brings and was pleased that her husband noticed the improvements right away!

There’s no needles, knives, or noxious chemicals, so there’s rarely any bruising or soreness afterwards, and often, the treatment involves a nap while the clinician gently encourages the skin to tighten and hold. Since this treatment encourages a natural process, multiple sessions are the rule, each one building on the progress of the last session until the skin is stabilized. Afterwards, semi-annual visits help maintain the progress.

placing dental implants and claim to be experts. Even general dentists have advertised being “dental implant specialists”.

Dental implants provide a strong and comfortable replacement for lost teeth. They can’t get decay like natural teeth, but they can still get gum disease. Gum disease around implants leads to bone loss and eventual loss of the dental implant. That is where the periodontist comes in. A periodontist has received extra training to resolve these problems often associated with dental implants. In addition, he or she has also received training in the surgical placement of implants which often requires grafting procedure to ensure a healthy and esthetic result. Make the extra trip to a specialist. It will be worth your time.

A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and in the placement of dental implants. Periodontists are also experts in the treatment of oral inflammation. They receive extensive training in these areas, including three additional years of education beyond dental school. They are familiar with the latest techniques for diagnosing and treating periodontal disease and are also trained in performing cosmetic periodontal procedures.

Periodontists often treat more problematic periodontal cases, such as those with severe gum disease or a complex medical history.

Harvest Time

BY JEFF SPENCER

August means veggies in the garden are ripening, farmer’s markets are happening, and the fruit stands are busy.

Some of the best eating of the year is beginning.

While meat is the king of the grill, veggies take backyard grilling to a whole new level. Sweet corn, potatoes, peppers, onions, beans, mushrooms, and any other delectable garden treats you can think of bring a burst of flavor to any grilled meal. Grilled fruits also add an entire next-level profile that will delight everyone around the picnic table.

Grilled and smoked fruit really brings

out the flavor and will delight your family and guests. Try grilled pineapple and then add it to your favorite burger for a Hawaiian twist.

The true versatility of a Green Mountain Pellet grill really shines with veggies and fruits because of their precise temperature control and even cooking across the entire grill surface.

Of course, any grill can be used for great garden fare with a bit of practice.

Indirect heat methods are best with most recipes. Salsas, soups, beans, and many other recipes will get a flavor enhancement that is over the top with grill-roasted peppers, onions, and tomatoes.

Smoked beans are one of my very favorite recipes from the grill. Six hours of Hickory smoke on the beans, bacon, peppers, and onions simply can’t be matched with any other cooking method.

Smoked Sweet Onion 1 or more large, sweet onions foil, shaped into cup butter veggie shake (I love HeyGrillHey brand; we stock the 12-oz. bottles) Slice top and bottom off onion to create flat surface. Peel onion skin. From top, slice down, halfway, into the onion 3 to 4 times, just like pizza slices. (Do not slice beyond halfway.)

Place a pad of butter in bottom of foil cup.

Now, place the onion in the cup and a pad of butter on top. Liberally apply veggie shake.

Place in grill at 180 degrees for 45 minutes or until petals separate.

Enjoy!

NAMING GUARDIANS FOR MINOR CHILDREN

In Memory

By Attorney Garrett T. Smith

I

often hear my clients comment that it is time to do their estate planning because they feel they are approaching the end of life. Many indicate that they did not need to start thinking about estate planning until they were 60 to 65 years old. While I agree that estate planning is important as you approach the sunset of your life, there are many benefits of setting your plan up early. I enjoy working with clients who still have minor children at home, because I help them feel confident that their children will be cared for physically, financially, and emotionally, even if the unexpected occurs.

I have heard and participated in many situations where the state takes custody of children when their parents pass away. Usually, the parents pass away unexpectedly if the children are still minors. Even in cases where there are other willing family members, the state will take custody of the children until the extended family can petition the court for guardianship. If guardians have not been provided, it is also likely that a probate process will be required for the assets because no documents have been put in place. Losing a parent is emotionally challenging enough without having to wait for the courts to order the children back with extended family members.

Unfortunately, these type of situations occur more often than you would think. As a parent of minor children, I can relate that my biggest concern when I set up my estate plan was ensuring that I named guardians for my children.

Another important aspect of estate planning for families with minor children is providing financial assistance for your children should you pass away unexpectedly. You can set up

a trust that can hold your assets.

The trustee can use the trust assets for the benefit of your children until they reach the point of being able to take care of themselves.

Many guardians are happy to step in and take care of children if the situation demands it; however, taking on the financial obligations can cause greater stress.,

“I enjoy working with clients who still have minor children at home, because I help them feel confident that their children will be cared for physically, financially, and emotionally, even if the unexpected occurs.”

You can relieve the financial stress for guardians by funding your trust with your assets. For young families that may not have accumulated a lot of assets, you may consider getting an inexpensive term life insurance policy. You ,can name the trust as the beneficiary. The trustee will be able to collect the death benefit and then make distributions to your named guardians so they can care for your children according to general or specific wishes that you outline in your trust.

If you or a loved one has minor children and would like to discuss how to create a plan to provide for them in case of the unexpected, please give me a call!

Mexican Chicken Salad with Buttermilk Lime Dressing PHOTO BY KRISTINA CASE, RECIPE ADAPTED FROM CATHERINE NEWMAN

Juice of 2 limes (around ⅓ cup), plus the finely grated zest of one of them 2 tsp. kosher salt, divided use 2 cloves garlic, pressed or finely minced 2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro 2 Tbsp. olive oil 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts ½ cup mayonnaise ¼ cup buttermilk 1 tsp. sugar 1 head of iceberg or romaine lettuce, chopped 1 can corn, drained (or use fresh corn from 3 cobs) 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed 1 red bell pepper, diced 1 avocado, sliced 12 grape tomatoes, sliced in half ½ a bag of tortilla chips, crushed Chicken Marinade: whisk together the lime juice and zest, 1 teaspoon of the salt, the garlic, and the cilantro. Pour half of this lime mixture into a dish large enough to hold the chicken, then whisk in the olive oil and the other teaspoon of salt. Add the chicken; turn to coat it with the marinade, cover it, and refrigerate it for up to 4 hours and for as little as 20 minutes.

Dressing: Now, take the remaining half of the lime mixture and whisk in the mayo, buttermilk, and sugar.

Taste it--add salt, sugar, or lime as needed--then cover and refrigerate.

If you want a smoother texture, you can blend it.

Cook the chicken: either grill or sauté until done. Cool and slice.

Assemble salad (use a large mixing bowl): add lettuce, corn, beans, red bell pepper, tomatoes, chicken, tortilla chips, and dressing. Toss to coat, add sliced avocadoes on top.

16 oz. fresh mozzarella, cut into ⅓-inch slices 5 medium tomatoes, cut into ⅓-inch slices ¾ cup fresh basil ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil Balsamic Reduction Glaze ½ cup balsamic vinegar 1 Tbsp. honey The balsamic reduction glaze doesn’t follow the traditional Italian recipe, but it adds a wonderful bit of tangy sweetness.

To make it, get a small saucepan and add the balsamic vinegar and the honey. Bring it to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer for 10-13 minutes. It should reduce to about ⅛ cup or 3 Tbsp. Keep in mind, it will continue to thicken after you remove it from the heat. Layer the

tomatoes and cheese on a rimmed dish. Pick and wash about ¼ cup of basil leaves and disperse across the top. Drizzle the olive oil and then the balsamic reduction glaze over the dish.

Serve immediately!
