I love Vidalia onions. I really love them thinly sliced and caramelized on a sandwich or in onion soup. If you have never had one, they are mild and sweet. I have never had this recipe, but will be trying it next Vidalia Onion season. This recipe is from the Kitchen Creations Ardsley Park BaptistContinue reading “Vidalia Onion Pie”

Pistachio Salad

Almost any Savannah gathering in the summer will have this. It is a family favorite and super easy to make. It is also cold and refreshing on a hot summer day.
