Too many onions

You could find a means of preserving them through drying or jarring them. Otherwise, maybe give some away to your neighbors.

It is not really leftovers, but I am throwing every week some veggies. I have joined a group of customers and I get every week a full basket of organic veggies for a cheap price. I don't choose the content of the basket, and I don't like everything : yesterday I threw courgettes to the garbage...

desserts are usually always left over which seems like the opposite right? My family isn't big on eating a lot of desserts but a lot of people still seem to make lots of options for desserts for parties!

My entire family has a tendency to make too much of everything. I think most recently it has been potato salad. I am like you, I hate waste. You can even chop the onions and freeze them in little portions to add to stuff. They are very healthy.

In our family it's usually the spaghetti and deserts that get left over after the holidays, but we don't let it go to waste because we just chow on them the following day and share them to friends as well.

Onions represent eternity. They have a lot of nutrients in them. Here is a run down: chromium 24.80 mcg 20.7 6.1 very good vitamin C 10.24 mg 17.1 5.1 very good dietary fiber 2.88 g 11.5 3.4 very good manganese 0.22 mg 11.0 3.3 good molybdenum 8.00 mcg 10.7 3.2 good vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) 0.19 mg 9.5 2.8 good tryptophan 0.03 g 9.4 2.8 good folate 30.40 mcg 7.6 2.3 good potassium 251.20 mg 7.2 2.1 good phosphorus 52.80 mg 5.3 1.6 good copper 0.10 mg We had hotdogs and potato salad and there were no leftovers.

If you want to chop lots of onions in one session, you can freeze them very successfully. Put them up in baggies of about a cup each. Then you can use them in cooking as you need them straight from the freezer.

Hello cowgril. My family always cooks too much and often it sticks around and end up being thrown away because they won't eat it even when re purposed. I try to eat it but then after a while enough is enough. I have taken onions and sliced then nice and thin then cook then until they are nicely caramelized. They are then ready to add to scrambled egg sandwiches or on top of hamburgers or any thing else calling for caramelized onions. Some times I like to just them in a sandwich by themselves.

Well, sort of, potato salad. I remember one party where I made a ton of potato salad because everyone loves mine. There were a couple of other people who also made potato salad so there was a lot left over. But, I can never call leftover potato salad "too much" because I adore it. I can polish off a large bowl of potato salad in a couple of days all by myself. I know that's not the healthiest thing in the world to eat a lot of but I don't make it often. As for onions, I also wouldn't have a problem with too many of them. I love onions. They can be used in just about anything and prepared in so many different ways. There's a song that came out a long time ago (1966) by Susan Christie called "I Love Onions". A cute, silly song but oh, so appropriate for me. Here's a link to it on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM-lEhhsLQw (NOT a referral link!) Good luck in finding enough creative ways to use your onions!

Not too much left over here, but I will be coming over for those homemade onion rings..LOL. That is a great idea!

That is the thing about holidays, there is almost always too much stuff leftover. You could try making a big batch of soup, and you might even dehydrate some for use in soups later on.

Yes some family bought too many onion and some are not purchase single. Like in my mother's home bought too many onions because they likes onion in every time with meals but in my mother in laws house not bought any single onion because nobody eats onion than me.

hi, in cooking of course we should always measure how many onions we should use in a dish,but having many onions in a dish will give more delicious taste,so here inn the house there is no wasted onions,and aside from that we love a dish with many minced onions.

oooooooooooh! I love onions! I put onions everywhere whenever I cook. i think it's a good flavor to add in almost any dish. Onion rings is also my fave. So I can never say that I've had enough of onions.

hiSomeCowgirl oh yes Turkey dark meat I really really dislike the dark meat and it has more fat and cholesterol in it. so finally after my small family ate all they co uld somach,I took the cooked meat to a local sou p kitchen and they were delighted to have it as it was fresh and thoroughly cooked. a lot of men love the dark meat of turkeys and chickens and they are welcome to it.Now I am a widow living in a retirement center and ugh dark meat of turkey they seem stuck on the crap.so I just eat the rest and let it go.Onions can be so good in so ma ny many things so surely the family would like some of them?
