Onion Dip

Does anyone remember me talking about my onion woes? Well here is something tasty we do with the tips! When the onions are 1st pulled we take a bunch of them and cut and clean all the greens. I then chop them up and put them in my American Harvester Dehydrator that my parents gave me 16 years ago! (as you can tell I like this machine)


Here's what they look like when they are done. Now they are ready for soups, biscuits, dips, you name it.


So now I'm ready to make onion dip. Use 1/4 to 1/3 cup of green onions (really to taste).
Place them in your coffee grinder and give it a whirl. Add salt and pepper to taste and give another whirl!



Mix in about 2 cups of your favorite sour cream or yogurt. Let stand in the refrigerator for about an hour.
Dip in your favorite veggies!



Yummy!

We do this with dill also!

I love onion dip, but I had never thought of making my own. Thanks for sharing!

The dip looks yummy! It's plain to see that you are indeed a frugal lady-so smart to dehydrate the tops so there would be little waste. :-)
I asked a neighbor (who has a large backyard garden) about the onions-she said that you need to wait until the tops grow so big that they appear to seed-then they will either fall over on their own or you can gently bend them over with your foot and leave them in the ground-that will be when they will bulb. So it seems that it's sort of similar to what you had with your garlic-I forgot to ask her how long you need to leave them in the ground once you bend the tops over, but I'll try to remember the next time I see her out. Happy gardening!

P.O.O.P.I.E

People Opposing Objectionable Pretend plants in the Environment ! Okay folks it's been a week....which is way too long. Schooling 3 1/2 is a bit daunting at times. My other excuse.....I've been freaking out about lice for over a week. No, I didn't have it (this time around), but I've scratched myself raw over it! On to P.O.O.P.I.E.! Over at Nestor's she's done a short series on what's a good fake and what's not ( errr flowers that is). So after you take a peak at mine head over there and read hers and everyone else' poop (can I say that?), I mean blogs! Nesting Place is in my side bar if you need directions ( I wanted to put the button up, but have no clue). These are my year round fakies .... Superman gave me the floral arrangement about 12 years ago when we couldn't afford flowers, who am I kidding....we still can't! I did change out the pedestal urn they came in. My wonderful ivy on top of the cabinets. My chicks have always ha...

Facial Cleanser

We've been using a surprisingly wonderful face wash for about 6 months. Guess What it is? Olive & Castor Oil! I was really surprised at how well it works and you can customize the formula to you own needs. For people with T-zone, dry or oily conditions. At www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/ they give all the details. I used an old facial cleanser bottle and tweaked the instructions to fit our needs. -15% Castor oil -85% olive oil -Shake and place in shower with wash cloth. - Gently rub 1 to 2 pumpfuls into face, neck, ears etc. (before you get in) -Use the warmth of shower to open pores. -Heat wash cloth with water, place on face for a minute or so. Then gently rub off excess oil, make up and dirt. Like I said, we've been using this for 6 months or so. In that time I've had only 1 blemish ( I'm a t-zone). My face is so much smoother and softer and this is all I do. No more 3 parts, no extra lotions! The above recipe has worked well for dry and t-zone. So we only h...

Frugal Friday

Time again to remember creativity and frugality! I really enjoy www.biblicalwomanhood.com where today it is Frugal Friday. Two needs we had were new nighties and bicycle baskets. We've been riding like crazy and I was tired of old t-shirts for jammies. It's hard and expensive to find nice, cute nighties for 5 different age groups! So we headed to a local thrift shop and bought sheets. Now if this thought grosses you out, just think "Vintage"! Everything was washed and dried in the dryer. Each sheet cost about $3.00. I was able to get 3 nighties in children sizes out of one and 2 in adult sizes out of another. I wish I could show more pics, but thought it was best not to of my older chicks. Needles to say they have become every one's favorites and today I need to make more! The cost of each nightie was about $1.50! I figured in my pattern and lace I also found. Isn't she a cutie! I'm not sure how to turn this but I also made house coats for each girl. This ...
