As I mentioned yesterday, I am already thinking about the holidays. When I was choosing a cute new apron, I started to think about one of my favorite holiday recipes. My mother always makes onion bake for Thanksgiving. I like to make the dish as well, but no one makes it better than my mom. The word “onion” might be a little offputting. The dish is so shocked full of butter, cream, and cheese that the onions only give it an added sweeteness. Trust me!
