Healthier Onion Dip Mix

swap cottage cheese for sour cream for a healthier version of onion dip

I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. But put me near the dip and chips, and watch out. I like it so much that we had to institute “Dip Mix Season” which runs from Thanksgiving Day to New Year’s Day. There are two additional periods of legal dip mix use- Super Bowl Weekend and Daytona 500 weekend. Consuming dip outside of those calendar dates is frowned upon.

This past year, I stumbled upon an idea to make dip mix healthier. Not healthy. Just a little less bad. The easy swap was using cottage cheese for sour cream.

Papercrafting in No Time: A Book Review

Papercrafting in No Time: 50 Inspirational Projects Crafted From Paper by Clare Youngs is a paperback book full of (you guessed it) 50 paper projects.

Here’s the Amazon link, but since I’m not an affiliate, I’m always going recommend you check it out from the library first to see if it’s a keeper.

Inspiration Browsing: Paper Source

I think most papercrafters think of Paper Source as the mother lode of inspiration. To be honest, the store scares me a little. The two locations here are in very upscale shopping centers, and I wasn’t sure how friendly the staff would be to someone like me who crafts on a tight budget.

Boy was I wrong.

Teeny Tiny Tip: All Matching Socks

To make it easier every morning, and even easier on laundry day, I’ve revamped my sock drawer.

all matching socks First, I got rid of all my socks. And replaced them with two weeks worth of identical pairs (not a paid endorsement. just my favorite socks).

And then I got rid of the drawer. Since they are all the same, they don’t need to be sorted. Pick two, any two, you have a winner!

A couple of links I found eye-catching this week

Bon Appetit has a whole section called “Cooking without recipes,” which really describes my cooking style.
When I bought my Silhouette Cameo 3, it was October, and searching around did yield all sorts of tutorials, videos and tips, but it felt like it was trial by fire (and learning by failure). For Christmas, Silhouette School posted 10 Tips for Getting Started with your First Cut and 10 Things No One Tells Beginners Before the First Cut and both really would have made my my first weekend a lot easier.
Craft room tours on Pinterest are a big thing, and while this one is outdated (she has since moved into a craft cottage) I really like it because it’s a more realistic representation of home crafters.
And the car enthusiast as well as the pre-press tech at suzerspace enjoyed swiss-miss.com’s link to this weird Porsche digital art.
