Barbara Hill<br />

When our sons and grandsons<br />

and their families come to visit from<br />

the Phoenix area we always spend<br />

time cooking the meals that are<br />

special to them,” says Barbara Hill <strong>of</strong><br />

Bisbee, Arizona. “We moved to this<br />

town 19 years ago—we love traveling<br />

and have been to literally every<br />

corner <strong>of</strong> the state. Over the years,<br />

Southwest cooking became more<br />

and more a favorite.<br />

“When our three sons were growing<br />

up and going to school they all played<br />

in the band. Our sons’ friends<br />

frequently shared meals with us and it<br />

was not unusual to have a group<br />

practicing their jazz band music in our<br />

living room be<strong>for</strong>e dinner.<br />

Barbara and Tommy Hill met as members <strong>of</strong> the<br />

band at Arizona State University and have shared<br />

their love <strong>of</strong> music and good food ever since.<br />

“We almost always had tacos with<br />

Shredded Beef (see recipe on page<br />

13) on Saturday night. Their friends<br />

knew this, so we frequently had<br />

company <strong>for</strong> dinner on Saturday.<br />

After one dinner one <strong>of</strong> the friends<br />

wondered, if Christmas came on<br />

Saturday would we have tacos?<br />

Christmas did come on Saturday, <strong>of</strong><br />

course, and so a tradition was<br />

begun.”<br />

This Mexican-style Salad is<br />

another <strong>of</strong> Barbara’s favorite<br />

Southwest recipes <strong>for</strong> sharing. “We<br />

do potlucks several times a year at<br />

our church here in Bisbee and also<br />

<strong>for</strong> the Bisbee Community Chorus.”<br />
