What to do with leftover Beans

Bean and Beef Enchilada Casserole

http://www.bhg.com/recipe/beef/bean-and-beef-enchilada-casserole/
I cook a big crock of pinto beans once a week - this week I made homemade tortillas with them. Anyway, I usually try to do something different when I serve them a second time. I typically don't use recipes for my meals, but I came across this one and I had all of the ingredients, so I thought I'd give it a try. Bean-and-Beef Enchilada Casserole.

Since I don't eat beef I substituted the ground beef for ground turkey. Also, according to the directions it says to put half the meat mixture on top of the tortillas, and half the sour cream mixture on top of the meat. After doing the first layer as instructed, it made more sense to spread the sour cream mixture on the tortillas and top with the meat - that way you can spread the sour cream evenly.                                                                                                                 

It says that you can chill this dish up to 24 hours before baking, which I thought was awesome. But, I prepared mine just a couple of hours before baking. I topped it with avocado and a dollop of sour cream... delicious!

Easy to prepare, little clean up, and tasted great!

How's Your Sleep

OMG Facts tweeted yesterday that you can survive days without eating but will live 11 days from not sleeping.  http://www.omg-facts.com/  I'm teetering on being sleep deprived at the moment. My 2 year old granddaughter has been staying the night and she won't sleep in her room.  She is a 2 year old that is the height of most 4 year olds, and she sleeps horizontally. It's not bad the nights that I get her head in my chest, but when its a night of the feet and getting kicked... forget about it. No sleep! I did some research and of course there has always been pros and cons about children sleeping in the same bed. Dr. Phil is opposed to it  - one of his reasons is it can cause regressive behavior.  http://drphil.com/articles/article/114  Personally I disagree - I loved having my kids by me and saw no side effects from it. They knew that they were always welcome in my bed, so naturally the same rule goes for the grandkids. It's just this is the first time h...
I left early this morning to get some shopping done, and I have to be honest - not ready to be sold on Christmas  I know it's the way retail works - I put many years into that industry, but I truly hate how overly commercialized Christmas is. They brainwash people and kids into thinking they have to have the newest and best of everything, and most people buy into the lie.  But what about the kids that their parents can't fall into the trap because financially they just can't do it. Are they made fun of or shunned by their peers because they don't have the newest clothes, gadgets, or toys?  Do they feel inferior or not worthy enough to receive - according to the advertisers you have to have it. It's not fair or right and I hate it!                                                               I think we all need to ...
