(See our new icon? Isn't it cute?!!)
This edition of Barefoot Bloggers is Herb Roasted Onions chosen by Kelly of Baking With the Boys. I was a little wary of this one because I do not like onions. I mean I really, really don't like them. As a kid I refused to eat anything if I knew they were in there. I'll eat something now if they are in there but I'll pick them out. You pulverize them until they're mush and that usually doesn't bother me. Its not just a flavor things with onions, its the texture that really throws me off. I don't know why but it does.
But I was determined to make this recipe and attempt to overcome my dislike of onions. It didn't work. Despite the delicious vinaigrette, I couldn't eat the onion. I tried and even managed to eat few bites but that is as far as I got. I'm glad I only wasted one red onion! Sorry to Kelly for being such a spoilsport! This week was just a fail for me Barefoot Bloggers wise.
But all was not lost. Sensing I would not like the onions (perhaps setting myself up for failure?), I quartered 6 red potatoes to go with them. Let me tell you...those babies were delicious! The lemony vinaigrette was unbelievably good with the potatoes. I also added a sprinkling of grated parmesan on top. So good! They'll be a perfect lunch tomorrow.

Good to see you took a creative way out! Your potatoes sound great!
Way to try anyway.
Oh no! I know what you mean about trying things... at least you tried! I've discovered that some of the dislikes I had since childhood were unfounded in adulthood... but seriously- STILL can't do some of the "I won't eat that" foods. Glad the potatoes worked out for you though!

Glad to hear it wasn't a total waste, I think the dressing would be great on anything!
I bet the potatoes were yummy. I figured there would be some onion haters out there. At least you gave it a try.
I put potatoes in mine too - I figured at least give me something I would enjoy. I liked the flavor of the two mixed together didn't you? YOurs look great.

I'm with you on the onions! Try as I might, they have to be totally pureed in something for me to not pick them out!
