Ok this looks like a fun event to get messy, keep fit and help a good cause. Color in Motion 5k organizes 5k races across the country and will be in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl Fair Park on November 17th 9am. All you need to do is show up wearing your freshest whitest clothes and by the end of the race, you’ll be covered with bursts of color (note color is washable). This is not a race where you need to be the fastest. You and your family can jog, run or take a leisurely stroll. Just have fun!

  1. Hi Cheryl. These vegan enchiladas are packed with flavor and hearty enough to satisfy even the hungriest “meat-eater.” The recipe below is for a double batch. I bake one and put the other in the freezer for another night. If you only want one pan, cut the ingredients in half.

    Ingredients:
    - 4 large sweet potatoes
    - 2 T. olive oil
    - 2 cloves garlic
    - 2 roasted green chilis (or two 4 oz. cans chopped green chiles)
    - 2 cans black beans, rinsed
    - 3 large tomatoes (or two 14 oz. cans diced tomatoes)
    - 2 T. chili powder
    - salt & pepper
    - 4 C. salsa
    - 16 large tortillas
    - 1/2 red onion

    Instructions
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel your sweet potatoes, and chop them into 1-inch chunks. Spread them out on ungreased cookie sheets in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, tossing halfway through.
    Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the ingredients. Chop up your garlic, red onion, green chiles and tomatoes. After 20 minutes, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and reduce the temperature to 350 degrees.
    In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, add the garlic and green chiles and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the black beans, tomatoes, chili powder, salt and pepper.
    Stir in the roasted sweet potatoes and let everything cook together for about 5 minutes.
    While the filling is on the stove, prepare two 9×13 glass dishes by spraying lightly with olive oil spray, and coating the bottom with a light layer of salsa. Grab your tortillas, and set up a filling station.
    Place a spoonful of filling into the middle of each tortilla, roll it up and place it seam-side down in your dish. Repeat until there are eight enchiladas per pan.
    Spoon any extra filling over the top. Add 1 cup salsa and half of the chopped red onion to the top of each dish.
    Bake the enchiladas for 20 minutes. (At this point I put one in the oven and one in the freezer)
    Serve and enjoy!

    I’m a fan on FB!

  2. Kelly – that looks delish! Thanks for sharing the recipe too! I love seeing what others are cooking for dinner.

  3. I love homemade lasagna for dinner. It’s easy to bake, and the most delicious dish of all!!!
    I love your website cheryll!

  4. Hey cheryl, my favorite homemade dinner is by far spaghetti bolognesa! My mom makes the best!

  5. I like to make taco salad. It’s an easy way to sneak in some veggies – and everyone can tailor their salad to their own liking!

  6. I like you on FB – liz newsome

  7. With all the kids’ activities – church, sports, school groups, scouts, etc. ramping up this time of year & the weather cooling off, I head to the crock pot!! chili, soups & stews, roasts…. but our favorite new recipe is Mexican chicken – yummy & super easy!!
    ingredients:
    skinless chicken breasts or thighs – i prefer the thighs with the bone on, adds a lot of flavor & more economical
    taco seasoning
    jar of your favorite salsa
    can of corn (optional)
    can of black beans (optional)
    preparation:
    rub the chicken with the taco seasoning, add salsa, set on low for 6-8 hours
    you can add the corn and/or beans for additional fiber content
    voila! dinner is served.
    If you leave chicken with the bone in, the meat literally falls off the bone (remove before serving)
    you could also substitute a couple cans of rotel, or make your own mix with diced tomatoes, green peppers, jalepenos & onions, but salsa has all the “good stuff” in there already. and it’s way easier if you’re on the go.
    Serve:
    with shredded cheese & sour cream on a tortilla & eat it as a taco, OR
    you can also add 4-8 oz of sour cream & stir, then serve it over your favorite rice.
    Leftovers also freeze well for reheating.
