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!

Lies and Secrets

I don't want to say that I work really hard to be a good person, because that would imply that's not the true essence of who I am. The way I live my life is simple - honesty, loyalty, trust, and prayer. If you live your life based on lies, I don't trust anything that you say or do. It's a personal thing. When you grow up in an environment based on secrets and lies, you value and respect honesty. I had the honesty conversation with one of my granddaughters last night when my grandson blurted out some things that are going on in their home. Immediately my granddaughter reprimanded him stating that they're not suppose to tell people their parents business. I'm not going to lie, when she said that to him, the flashbacks started coming. I calmly explained to her that adults should never ask children to keep their secrets or lies, and if they live in fear of their business being told, maybe they should be living their life right, because I'm good with people
