Kelly from Baking with the Boys chose Ina Garten’s Herb Roasted Onions as her selection for one of November’s Barefoot Bloggers recipes. When I saw the recipes chosen this month, I was very excited about both of them. Not that past recipes weren’t exciting and delicious, but, these two were going to be no brainers for me, I wouldn’ t have to do too much altering to … um … lighten them up. If you know me, I’m all about lightening things up…it’s kind of like an addiction. And if you know Ina’s recipes, well you know they are usually full of good stuff like butter and cream!

Anyway, back to the onions. I think this side dish would be great for almost any meal…they would be perfect for steak or a rustic roast chicken. Throw your leftovers on a sandwich or scramble them with some eggs. They might even sneak their way onto your Thanksgiving table if you let them. I think they are definitely worthy.

I really loved the leftover dressing that was used to drizzle over the onions after they were cooked. It gave them such a fresh taste, in addition to their natural sweetness that came out from the roasting. This is real food, simplicity at it’s best.

 

Back in August, I jousted for the first time with these yummy gelato treats. Sophie from Key Ingredient was nice enough to feature the recipe on her blog The Back Burner. It was a great write up and I can’t thank her enough! Go check it out here!
