Love what you do and do what you love......

and don't forget to eat your Spinach!  



Did I ever mention that I am a Career Counselor?
Well, if I did....let's forget all about that.
Because that's not what I do these days.
I burned out about 15 years ago.
Yeah, I dabble in it when I have to.
And, in my heart of hearts, I really do care about it all.
But, let's be honest,.,.,,,the career that I picked when I was in my 20's is not exactly what I love to do today. My aging  ENFP is showing.
And, because I am who I am, I truly believe in loving what we do. And,doing what we love...
Yet, I realize that reality can sometimes intervene.
 Just so know.... I subcribe to this theory.....
It makes me feel oh so smart when there's a theory for my thinking..,,,especially when I'm 55 and I am oh so worried about either succumbing to dimentia or bad fashion or both.....

Oh well....

 And, what about that Spinach?
Here's a recipe for Creamed Spinach that I just had to share with you ASAP.
And, I mean....ASAP!
This recipe will definitely make you eat your spinach!!
I am a perfect testament to that.  I have never, ever had creamed spinach. 
No, I never did.  I am now in love....
 I was hosting a dinner party this past Saturday night and I needed something to go with my surf and turf menu (fillet mignon, shrimp scampi and baked potato).   After a little research on what good steakhouses serve with their surf and turf dinners, I came up with serving the fillet on a bed of creamed spinach.   But, since I had never made creamed spinach before, I had no idea what recipe was the best.   So, I set out to find a rendition that sounded perfect! So, I crossed my fingers and said a few novenas that it would all work out.  OMG.....it was just perfect.  Everyone raved and I felt like the Supreme Empress of Creamed Spinach.....
(The only difference in my version is that I added a dollop of creamed cheese to the mixture just to give it more cheese, to tighten it up a bit and to make it my own.....)
Don't you think a nice big bowl of GREEN creamed spinach would make a perfect St. Patrick's Day treat?
It is GREEN you know....
Yes, the count down to St.Patrick's Day begins.....
