Not all onions are created equal. Vidalia onions’ sweet and unique taste is like no other and that is why I am so excited to start cooking with Vidalia onions now that they are in season. Did you know that Vidalia onions are the first sweet onions and they are only harvested by grower artisans in Georgia, no where else? Not only that but Vialia onions are only available from April to August and that is why I am already planning all sorts of delicious recipes this Vidalia season!

The first recipe I made, just as soon as I received my box of Vidalia onions, is a new creation which I had never made before. After seeing the idea of making stuffed onion rings I decided to stuff them with my jalapeño popper dip recipe and make jalapeño popper stuffed onion rings. These came out amazing and they got devoured in no time. I made some without the jalapeños for the kids and they loved them too. What’s not to love; from the crunchy outer layer to the the gooey, cheese and spicy filling complimented perfectly with the crunchy and sweet taste of the Visalia onion!
