Frozen chopped onions. Some people may think it is silly. Others may think it is a waste of money. Yes, buying an onion and chopping it myself would be cheaper, but 91 cents isn't going to bankrupt us. And this way I don't cry. And the house doesn't stink like onions. And none of it goes to waste. I've never eaten them raw, but if I have used them in taco meat, chili and stuffed peppers and I couldn't tell a difference.
*Meanwhile in the kitchen:
*I started the Couch to 5K program again after the first of the year with a friend of mine. I did it a few years ago and it was awesome. I even went on to run a marathon and a couple of halves. It's been awhile since I ran, and I am definitely out of running shape. We just finished week 2 and I am feeling pretty good about it. I've also been going to Zumba pretty regularly.
*Running outside in January sucks. Its cold. And sometime it snows and is icy. Yuck.
* And you are welcome:

I LOVE using frozen onions, it's so much easier. I usually keep a bag or 2 in the freezer.
I actually love chopping onions. :)
I got the whole way to week 1 on the C25K last year. And I think I only made it to week 1, day 3. lol.
If we actually ate onions I'd totally buy pre-chopped (Isaiah won't touch them and I can't say I love them).
The crafting community is sneaky like that, you know!! Ruthless!
I've always seen those frozen onions, but I've never bought them. I think it would be a great idea....but my current strategy is to just make the husband chop the onions. They don't seem to affect him--or else he's to manly to let it show.
Hahaha, that "it's so cold a gangster pulled up his pants" is just too funny. I never understood why that was "cool".
Nick and I LOVE our onions - sounds so gross to say. Maybe we'll try frozen, but we do like to keep a fresh one around if we ever have veggie burgers/regular burgers.
I'm psyched about the potato masher tip. I'm doing that when I brown meat and sausage for this weekend's chili.
I LOVE frozen chopped onions, especially when I need a lot of them. They are on my shopping list as we speak.
I've been eyeing a bag of prechopped onion. I think you've convinced me yo go for it. I put onion in everything! And, what an awesome idea to use the potato masher! Genius!
Did you notice that chopping onions was in our vows? Yeah, not a fan.
There is something to be said for onions that have already been chopped. Sometimes, I don't get the chopped so the pieces are as small as I want!
I don't even own a masher....lol
Good luck with your Couch to 5K. I tried it, and I hated it. I was not born to be a runner. I love Zumba, though!
I seriously HOARD frozen chopped onions. I never buy an actual onion. Ever.
The crafting community is vicious.
