Menu of the Week: Onions

I consider onions to be a staple, along with tomatoes.  I use almost a bag of onions a week.  Onions are very healthy for you and full of fiber and of course delicious.
This week’s menu swap is hosted by Manda at Asparagus Thin so make sure you check out her menu and blog as well […]
