I cannot get my RPi Mealie to respond. Instead of just reformatting
and reinstalling, is there any way to backup my recipes from another
computer? I have the SD plugged into my comp and I can see both
folder, bootfs and rootfs.

If using docker, you should just be able to copy the appdata
directory. When you start mealie again, point it at this directory
(just as you had done before) and everything should work!

My dude, it’s right at the top of the page:

Tip
If you're using Mealie with SQLite all your data is stored in the
/app/data/ folder in the container. You can easily perform entire site
backups by stopping the container, and backing up this folder with
your chosen tool. This is the best way to backup your data.
