Hello everyone! This is one of my husband’s favorite meals. It’s one of mine, too.
You won’t find an easier stovetop recipe, and it can be as spicy as you want. It also keeps well in the fridge, so you can make enough for leftovers.
Ingredients
1 lb. ground beef
1 medium onion
1 green pepper
2-3 stalks of celery
1-2 tsps chili powder
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 cup cooked rice
A tad bit of salt if you’d like
Start the rice. (I can’t tell you how times I’ve forgotten to cook the rice!) Next dice the onion, green pepper and celery. Saute in a large frying pan in 1 tablespoon oil. Cook until the veggies are just a tad bit soft. Add the ground beef. Cook until browned. Drain the grease. Add the chili powder and stewed tomatoes. Cook for about five minutes. Add the cooked rice. Add salt to taste.
Options: Some people sprinkle it with grated cheddar cheese. It’s good, but we like it plain. If you like your food spicy, add more chili powder. My stepdad (a Texan!) likes his T-Hash burning hot! Texas Hash also makes a good burrito filling.
That’s it! Enjoy!
leeks? They may not be as common, but I’ve found evidence they can be grown in Texas – plant them in late summer and they can be harvested fresh in the winter/early spring.

Besides that first picture? The things kids say. Children are priceless and genuine and not jaded. My clever critique group makes me laugh. Which movies make me laugh? Overboard, When Harry Met Sally, Music and Lyrics, Liar Liar, Sense and Sensibility, Mannequin, Blind Date, French Kiss and both Miss Congenialities. I laugh at snappy dialogue, but a good old spoof just tickles my funny bone: Soap Dish and Galaxy Quest are favorites.
As I thought about how being an author has impacted my life, what stood out to me was: People. Since devoting myself to the pursuit of publishing, I have met the greatest people. Many of the friends I made when I first joined RWA are still my best friends. And new friends are added through my local chapter all the time. I love brainstorming with a group. There’s something electric about shooting ideas back and forth like sparks until enough of them ignite into a story. 
I have a lot to share with you! What a day – thanks to all of you who showed up to blog and enter the drawing. I have all of your names in the fishbowl. 
Then of course, there’s always my toddling grandson about whom I can emote endlessly. And who I believe has romance cover-model potential in about twenty years.
But for the Balls, it wasn’t all about the jar. Frank, Edmund, George, Lucius and William Ball endowed a small college in 
In my family, we followed traditional Easter traditions. On Easter Sunday, we donned our new bonnets and ruffled dresses and went to church. Afterward we had a dinner that most often centered on a ham, dark ham gravy and mashed potatoes. My mouth waters just thinking about my grandma’s ham gravy and mashed potatoes. Of course I learned how and that’s been the custom in my family for as long as my kids can remember.
My husband is German, and traditionally eggs are dyed differently in the old country, so in order to bring some of his culture into the holiday I learned how to dye eggs with onion skins. They’re so unique that I actually prefer them. They make beautiful baskets and trays, and the eggs don’t taste any different.
Soak several large ones in water and moisten raw eggs.
Have the water and milk at 110-115 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add the warm milk sugar, butter, vanilla, salt, nutmeg, and 3 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating the mixture well after each addition. Stir in the dried fruit and enough flour to make a soft dough.
Bake at 375-degrees F. for 12 to 15 minutes.
