Twenty Amazing Years
Tomorrow, I am going to celebrate my twentieth wedding anniversary with my husband. Amazing how fast time flies! It seems like yesterday I was just graduating from the University of Utah and then a week later going through the Salt Lake Temple to be sealed to my wonderful husband.
He is an amazing man. Whenever someone needs help, he is there. A lot of his employees are the people who just need a second chance in life or someone to give them a break. Not only is he caring, he is mister adventure. He always has to be moving. Whether it is four wheeling in Moab, sky diving, scuba diving, snowmobiling, river rafting or flying to Mexico, he is always on the go. I can hardly keep up with him!
Somehow his travels always turn into an adventure - but then it wouldn't be fun if you didn't have some problem to have to work through. It just makes it more of a challenge (according to him.)
Darren served his mission in Dallas, Texas and came home with this great chili recipe. It has become a family tradition to make this yummy stuff every Halloween. The best part is how easy it is!
Darren's Texas Chili
Brown one pound of hamburger. Add 1/2C. chopped onions, and 2 cloves of garlic. Stir then let simmer for 5 minutes. Add: 2 - 8 ounce cans of tomato sauce and one can of water. Add one 8 ounce can of tomato paste and one can of water plus 1t. cumin. Simmer for 2 hours or more. The longer it cooks, the better it tastes. One hour before it is done, add 3T. chili powder. Serve with tortilla chips and shredded cheese.
Tastes great on baked potatoes as well!
