Grab a tissue…this post is about onions. If you are anything like me then the thought of onions make a tiny tear form in the corner of your eye. Living in Georgia I see Vidalia onions at the local grocery stores and I am taken back to my high school days when I worked at Papa Murphy’s and the manager in charge would always give me the task of cutting onions because he liked making me cry. It took a few years, but I am happy to say I can now cut an onion without thinking about my high school torture. There are a few recipes that I love to make that require onions….one of which is my mother-in-law’s Thanksgiving stuffing. It’s totally worth a few tears!
I am working with Shuman Produce to share information about Vidalia onions using the information and products they provided me. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive comments.
