Beef and Spinach Enchiladas

Okay, seriously? I don't want to talk about it. For the past few nights I have been going to bed so hungry I could eat my own ARM!!!!!! The filling was good, but when I put it all together it was a big ole mess. If anyone has a good recipe that I can't possibly mess up, please let me know. I am a struggling over here. Many thanks, James says thanks too......................... Muah

I spoke too soon last post about my cooking........oops!

So, I had this wonderful idea to cook Margarita Chicken last night. This was such an intense recipe that I had to marinate the chicken overnight and everything. I was so proud of myself b/c it smelled good and it looked good too. I got to use chili powder, cumin, garlic, lime zest........It had a touch of orange juice and lime juice in it....just a touch, I swear!!!! Well, when it was all said and done. This is what James' face looked like. Hahaha. He said that it felt like it ate the enamel off his teeth and it made his jaw ache!!!!!! We ordered out..... Needless to say, I WILL continue to let him be my guinea pig and will continue cook neat things that will probably make him puke. So for tonight, we are having Beef and Spinach Enchiladas....................to be continued...........hopefully, if we make it through.

Do you ever feel like you've lost yourself?

Well, lately I feel like I have lost my creative side. My passion for things in life. So, this is my last ditch effort to get my creative, passionate side back on track.

For those of you that know I bought a guitar and started guitar lessons....it failed. I went to three lessons and my teacher was still stuck on lesson one with me. I was sooooo embarrassed. Better yet, when I called to let him know that I wouldn't be continuing and to please call me back so we could discuss, he never called back - and that was a week ago. Oh well, I went and bought the Idiot's guide to playing guitars, so I guess I showed him.

I think that I have kind of lost myself also b/c recently I quit my job and really I am trying to find myself. It's been three months so I better get to crackin. I can't possibly be that lost! Hmmmm, what else have I tried? Well, I have started to cook here lately and I think that I am getting better. James says that I have and he's still alive so I guess he's telling the truth.

I have had lots of time to think of the things I am grateful for which really and truly is FAMILY. It's up at the top of my list. And I mean my entire family. Husband, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, grandma's......all of them. They are so much of who I am. I'd like to think that I am really made up of a pinch of everyone. And, I know friends are not considered family....but in my world - they are. So, here and there you will see me write about them and how important they are to me. I am also so grateful to God. He has blessed me with so much and I am so thankful for every day I am given.

Soooooooooooooooo - I love ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Peace out!
