Elswet's Sausage-Stuffed Onions
"This is fantastic, even if you don't love onions! It makes an awesome entree or side dish, depending on your tastes. It's Elswet's own recipe. The trick is to choose Vidalia onions. They're sweeter than common onion bulbs, and will cook sweeter for those who are not lovers of onions. Otherwise, you could try purple onions. Those look much prettier in their finished form."

Both my Wife and i love to cook, and we love to eat, so our premium membership with this site is a partnership made by the Gods. i am a short order cook by trade, and my Wife is a published movie reviewer. We both administrate our small non profit from home, which allows us to cook more often than other couples, but we still don't have a lot of time to prepare complicated meals.
RecipeZaar is the best for anyone who wants a quick recipe, or needs to learn about a complicated piece of kitchen equipment...and anything in between. :) We LOVE it here!
my sweet Wife has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. i'm still learning how to cook for Her, so that Her Forever will pace with mine.
i change my user name often. sorry, but i bore easily. oh, and just to warn people, i've donated my hair to locks for love, so it's short now ... VERY short. new photos will come soon.
