"This is a kicked up version of my Caramelized Onions.
Garnish a steak or just top a good slice of bread as my DD would do. Top those burgers for the super bowl games. I do love caramelized onions but this is really good with the added sherry gives it a creaminess.
This makes a great start to onions soup!"

Ingredients: fresh ground black pepper, fresh rosemary...

Ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, lemons...

"I got this recipe from a Mexican chef at work and adapted it to my taste, as I like very spicy food. The tomatoes and roasted red peppers contrast the spice with sweetness and mildness. It is a very easy recipe, and is perfect just as a dip, or in tacos, burritos, or enchiladas. Top blue corn tortilla chips with this guacamole and a dab of sour cream..."
