Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.

Saguaro Extravaganza
Have you ever experienced the sweet fruit of the mighty saguaro cactus? Yeah, we didn’t think so. Well here’s your chance. On July 9th,
the folks from the Tonto Bar & Grill
in Cave Creek teamed up with the Desert Foothills Land Trust for a very
special saguaro fruit harvest. Once the ruby red fruits hit the kitchen they
will be transformed into magical sauces, dressings and tarts. Experience Arizona-grown field
greens tossed in saguaro fruit vinaigrette with saguaro seed croutons, mesquite
wood-grilled salmon with a saguaro fruit and agave nectar glaze, or even a
saguaro fruit and strawberry granite served with saguaro seed and anise
cookies. Menu items will change frequently and will be available for lunch and
dinner starting today, July 12th, through July 30th at the rustic
restaurant. Ten percent of all saguaro plates sold will be donated to the land
trust to help the organization protect our beautiful desert. Click here for more details.
Chocolate Margarita
You can only improve a Monday with a margarita and if you can somehow work chocolate into the equation — even better. We plan on finishing our day off with an oreo cookie rim, fresh cream, chocolate syrup and plenty of tequila. You should give this chocolate margarita a whirl, too — we’re pretty sure you won’t regret it.
