A New Post, Again

I hate to admit this but I forgot I have a blog. My life has hit a lot of speed bumps in the past three months. Like I have stated many times before my job is terrible. Well, that will not be the case for long. I put my resignation letter in last Thursday. I will be at my current position for about another month. After that point who knows. A lot of factors went into my decision. The biggest thing is...I am unhappy. I need something more from my job, and I am going to figure out what that is. I do not have a job lined up but I am meeting with a career counselor to hopefully figure that out.

A huge reason I am taking this leap is my mom passed away at the end of January. The whole thing came as a shock to me and my family. I miss my mom terribly. I talked to her everyday. My mom definitely was able to help me get through this job. I could call her at anytime to talk, bitch, cry, or just whatever. Adding the sadness of my mom's passing with my distaste of my job has made a really tough month. I do not need to feel this way. So with all of those factors, I am going to try a new chapter in my life. I have a lot of support here in West Virginia and especially all of those at home and everywhere in between.

A new aspect I am going to add to my blog is my new recipe of the week. I like to cook but I always seem to be cooking the same recipes. So, I decided to pull a Julie and Julia and start cooking. I am pulling recipes from everywhere. If you have a suggestion pass it along.

My first recipe was lemon shrimp with white bean and couscous. Not a good recipe. I loved the shrimp and couscous but not the beans. I was trying something new with the beans. I typically do not like white beans but I thought with the lemon flavoring I would like it more but no such luck. The recipe tonight was Black Bean Enchiladas with spinach. This was an A+++ recipe. I made 8 enchiladas and ate three tonight. I can not wait to eat some more tomorrow for dinner. No idea what I am going to try next week but I will let you know.
