Hi, it’s Margot, aka The Damsel in Dis Dress from The Old School. Here I am hanging out with my two favorite people. (my grandsons) Life is good! I’m back with another old school trick. This one’s one of my favorites! Everyone knows bacon makes things all better again. There are tee shirts to prove…
Although, I like to cook…I don’t have all the time in the world to spend doing it. So, I love recipes that are fast, easy, and freakin’ good. (Nothing is more frustrating to me than spending all my time making a recipe that ends up tasting like poo…especially when the picture of it on the…
Each month, my mother-in-law and sister in laws get together and have a recipe swap. Whoever is hosting, makes the main dish, someone brings and appetizer, dessert, salad, so on and so forth. It’s awesome! Girl time, yummy food and laughs. My cute sister in law Cassie brought this appetizer the last time, and I’ve…
I luuurve salads and I’m always making them, especially during the summer. I make this one all the time, but I actually make it with all cauliflower, since broccoli usually does a number on my insides. It takes 5 minutes (if you buy the washed and cut broccoli and pre- cooked bacon from Costco) The…
Making my sandwiches on croissants is one of my favorite things. I love how the bread is so light that you can actually taste the flavors of everything piled in the middle of it! Once upon a time, I was at Costco (love you!) and one of the aisle-foodie-friends handed me a cracker with a…
So we have yet to post many drink recipes (please forgive us), so Mariel and I each made a summer slush to share with you. They are super easy, tantalizing, kids love ’em and they are perfect to serve at a bbq! Both of these will last forever in the freezer- just keep a bottle…
Hi, I’m Margot, aka The Damsel in Dis Dress. 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…
One of my favorite things to make and eat are salads. I’m not posting this so you all think I’m super healthy and have a smokin’ bod, I really really like ’em. I make the dressing, cut up everything so I can eat the salad for a week and it takes seriously 5 minutes to…
Too busy to cook, too tired to cook, or too darn hungry to wait longer than 10 minutes for a meal? I’ve got a couple suggestions for you…both super easy, yummie and super fast meals. Previously, I did a post on two other “10 Minute Dinners,” Navajo Tacos and Hawaiian Haystacks. But, today I’m going…
It’s actually pretty rare that I want anything with peanut butter. Yikes, I could hear all of those *gasps* from here! I know, I know. Really, the only peanut butter I crave is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Blizzards from Dairy Queen and peanut butter cookies. And, how I loooove these p.b. cookies! Likely, you already…
I don’t know how many times you’ve had to hear me tell you how much I love soup….. but I had to get one more recipe of it in while there is snow outside. It’s so cozy and comforting- I love it! I just tried this recipe for the first time today and it’s so…
Oh my good heck! This is the most gooey, richest, moistest, yummiest cake I have ever made! Thanks to Paula Deen, the Queen of butter and mayo-(No there’s no mayo in it) I was a little apprehensive to try it. I had to make a dessert for a church function, and I tell you my…
