Oh hi. Remember me? Leslie, the girl who posts yummy recipes on this site? You see, I have a bit of “recipe mojo loss disorder”. It’s a real disorder, at least it is in my mind.
It all started when we got an offer on our house, I didn’t sleep for weeks… 4 hours the most at night. I was a walking Zombie. Keep in mind, I require 8-9 hours a sleep a night, so I was obviously a wreck.
[rss-cut]
I told my husband I thought I was going crazy, like certifiably crazy. I was hearing voices in my head and they were constantly yelling at each other. It was the strangest thing I had ever experienced.
Then we sold our house and I was an absolute mess. Never in a million years I thought I would have been so emotional about packing. Lord, talk about a sobbing mess. Not only was I moving away from my best friend and my daughter best friend who lived a couple houses down, I was leaving the house with so many memories. The house we built from the ground up, the house I came home a married woman to, the house that I brought my babies home from the hospital to. So so soooo many memories, we were leaving them all behind. I eventually got over it and am fine now, but have yet to find my mojo.
We moved into a small apartment while we build our next home…God help me if it takes more than 9 months. I have realized I am not one for apartment living, not that there is anything wrong with it, but when you have a 2 year old that lives above you and likes to skip, hop and jump around at 6 am on Saturday and Sunday mornings, you get over it REAL FAST. So I hope I get my creativity back very soon. I would like to claim that I made these Deviled Eggs recently, but nope, made them for July 4th. Everyone need a good Deviled Egg Recipe. Me I like them simple with no fancy schmancy ingredients. and NO NO NO relish. We can’t be friends if you pit relish in your deviled eggs. period. end.of.story

You’ll get your mojo back don’t worry!! Time is the best healer. Those deviled eggs look delicious! Nice and simple
Once it’s all done and over, I bet you will love your new house even more and think of all the memories you will gain in the new place.
I lose my mojo from time to time too.
I love deviled eggs but I can never ever make them as good as my sister’s or my grandmother’s.
I hope it returns soon. Thanks for the comment.
THE BFF, the daughter’s BFF and the rest of this clan will be with you any where you go!! LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!! Enjoyed the day yesterday and cooking for my favorite family!! XOXO
Everything will return back to normal eventually and you will be happy in your new home. Sending hugs! We just had a major renovation and I forgot about all the chaos I experienced once I am back in my new kitchen. And I love deviled eggs.
Oh girlie, moving from a house like that can be so so hard…I totally get it. Hopefully building the new house will keep your mind occupied and get you excited about things to come.
NO relish but I do add pickle juice to mine 😉 Hopefully the house is built soon! hugs!
You poor thing… you’ll be back better than ever, trust me! Plus, imagine all the creativity that will spark at 6 am on Saturday mornings 🙂 Silver Lining, my friend 😉
