My Mother-in-Law’s “Hash Tacos”

What girl doesn’t like a pretty piece of jewelry to accent her outfit?  Some may want just one piece of jewelry such as a bracelet for their accent, while others may want a matching set of necklace, bracelet, and earrings.  Whether one wants diamonds or colored gemstones, Reeds Jewelers has been serving customers since 1946.

Customers can design their own jewelry such as a custom made diamond engagement ring, or they can choose from a great selection of engagement rings as well as wedding bands and wedding gifts.  This family-owned company wants to help plan a perfect wedding!

My mother-in-law gave me this recipe years ago.  It’s been a long time since I’ve made these tacos, but I used to make them a lot.  They’re really tasty!

INGREDIENTS:

• 15 ounce can roast beef hash
• 15 ounce can chili without beans
• 1/2 cup diced green pepper
• taco shells
• diced tomato
• shredded cheese
• shredded lettuce
• diced onion

Mix the hash, chili, and green pepper together.  Heat thoroughly and serve in taco shells.  Top with tomato, cheese, lettuce, and onion or whatever you like on tacos.

If you have never experienced a GPS, they’re great!   Our GPS has saved us from getting lost on trips, vacations, and just trying to find someone’s house.  Once we were in downtown Denver (I live in Texas), and it directed us through all the one-way streets to get to Hard Rock Cafe (our daughter wanted a T-shirt from there.)

Recently, I went with a couple of girlfriends to a Ladies Retreat at a really neat ranch & retreat.  We had printed directions and were going by that.  My friend had her GPS turned on, though, and it was giving us conflicting directions.  After we drove around for a while not being able to find our destination, we stopped and asked directions.  Turns out her GPS was right and our directions were giving us the wrong street!

I don’t know if my friend had a Garmin GPS, but we wished we had listened to her GPS in the first place.  Then we wouldn’t have gotten lost!  (However, we do have a good story to laugh about now!)

I had one of these muffins at work today, and it was so good.  Here is the recipe as told to me.  DO NOT ADD ANY EGGS!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 box pound cake mix
• 1 orange
• milk

PROCEDURE:

(Wash the orange well.)  Grate the orange peel (1 tablespoon ?) Combine the pound cake mix, juice of 1 whole orange, grated orange peel, and the amount of milk mentioned in the cake mix directions.  Mix well and bake in muffin tins using paper liners.

There are so many expenses for people such as home insurance, auto insurance, health insurance, utilities, rent or mortgage payment, car payment, and the list goes on and on. That’s why it’s so important to compare insurance quotes and find the best deal. Saving money wherever possible adds up.  With money being tight for a lot of people, saving money on insurance allows money to spent on other things.

This week is Spring Break, and a lot of people are traveling this time of year.   I was thinking how fun it would be to go with family and relatives to the Outer Banks to rent a large house big enough for all of us.  We could relax for a week or so and sit out on the beach and tour the area.  I wonder what Baby J (our 19 month old grandson) would think about the waves.  It would definitely be a fun vacation!
