Onion Squares
"Is it a vegetable side dish or is it corn bread? This recipe comes from The New American Diet Cookbook and is credited to having originated in eastern Oregon. It is deliciously different and goes well with stews, bean soup or chili."

PaulaG thanks for a nice recipe. ours came out very good. Went perfect with our stew. -
We really didn't enjoy this dish as much as anticipated, just wasn't our style of side dish. I think I expected more of a biscuit like texture, they were more crumbly and not really set all the way through. -
Lovely....took it to a picnic, and it was delicious even cold. -
Great side dish, we loved it!Very oniony and delicious, love the dill in it. It would be great for a bbq too. Will definately be making it again, thanks for posting.

I served these as a side dish for Christmas Eve dinner. I substituted cottage cheese for yogurt. The squares were a bit drier than I had anticipated, but still really good.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
