One of my most favorite things is the Mission Carb Balance tortillas (don’t get the wheat, they’re yuck)! I talk about them to everyone I see! Probably annoying, but I find them so exciting! Why?? Well, for one…I try to live a mostly low-carb lifestyle (7 net carbs per tortilla, baby)! Except on Sundays, my…
Hi, I’m Margot, aka The Damsel in DisDress. I have 7 kids and yessssss!!! 2 grandkids. Best gig ever.I write a blog teaching people how to do those old homey skills our grandmas used to know like the back of their age-spotted hand. Why would you want to learn this? Perhaps to become more reliant…
A few months back, one of my always cool, clever, and gorgeous friends, Kim… (you may remember her from last Sunday’s post on ways to free up your hands) started a super fun health competition. I loved it so much that I was sad when it was over! So, I just had to start my…
I love a hot sandwich. I especially love one that I can dip in au jus. This is one of my favorites…one of the kinds where I cut an appropriate size piece for myself. Then, when everyone is out of the room, I scarf 5 more servings. You know what I’m talking about. You need:…
It’s been a long day. You’ve changed 7 poopy diapers, 4 of which were full-on blow-outs. You swept up cheerios, grass, and McDonald’s toys at least 15 times already. You’ve made several small meals for the kids, listened to endless complaints and wants, and still haven’t showered. There is mold growing on the grout in…
I have looked for a long time to find an easy “sweet and sour” chicken recipe, all of the ones I come across take all stinkin’ day to make. The dredging, dunking, frying…blah. Here is one that I made this week that is easy and yummy! (Healthy too- since there is no batter and frying!!)…

When I say “72 Flowering Plants For Under $10 Bucks!”, I mean TOTAL $10 bucks. Yes, total. What’s the catch?? Well, you have to plant them…from seed. Don’t be turned off, it’s so easy! I have been grounded from going to the nursery this year with the %$@!! economy being the way it is. It’s…
Well, what do you know? It’s Saturday and this recipe is called Saturday Chicken …how special is that? So, my mom used to make this when I was little, it is one of the favorites in our house! It’s incredibly simple. It’s so simple it seems like it couldn’t possibly be good, but is is…
I love me some comfort food! And chicken pot pie is no exception! This recipe is so easy, so versatile, and so good! I actually make 3 pies with this recipe and freeze two of them for another day. One pie comfortably feeds 4 adults and a couple picky children. You will need: 4 boneless…
This Cajun Chicken Pasta is sooo good, even my kids will eat it (and that’s saying a lot!)(Adapted from a recipe I found on Recipe Zaar’s site a while back…got rave reviews!) To make this you will need some B.S. chicken breasts (sliced into thin strips), linguine noodles, Cajun seasoning, green onion, heavy whipping cream,…
So, I recently gave you the scoop on who the schmell St. Patrick is (was). Now we are faced with another holiday that is at least equally mind-boggling. Where did April Fool’s Day come from?? Way back when, in France, about 1582, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Ha! Wouldn’t you like to think I was…
