weekend review: onion crescents


Figure 2. In preparation: Oh She Glows' crispy baked onion rings. When I automatically cut my onion in half due to habit, I thought I had ruined my first attempt at making onion rings. But, onion crescents, it turns out, are just as delicious!

Figure 3. Saturday night's dinner: grilled chicken breasts with maple-mustard marinade, green pea rice, crispy baked onion crescents, and grilled kale.

Figure 4. Out of the oven: bacon, tomato, and arugula pizza.

 Figure 5. Sunday night's dinner: bacon, tomato, and arugula pizza alongside a warm spinach and broccoli salad. This pizza may have been my favorite pizza-creation yet! And this salad was so good it will be making a repeat appearance soon - like maybe next weekend soon.

  4. Very true: as long as breading is involved, onions will taste delicious! And that salmon looks perfect.

  6. I feel like making onion crescents makes it easier to stack more on your plate. Right?! I think you might be onto something here...

    That pizza looks so good! I love having pizza this time of year (especially if it's eaten on a patio somewhere).

  7. Okay, tell me please, arugula on pizza- super amazing? Just okay? Or was it the bacon that made the pizza awesome. I have like 200 recipes for ____ + arugula pizza but lettuce on pizza is kind of creeping me out
