CharlotteToday_6.8.15_meWhenever I prepare dinner and slice up some onions for sauté, the aroma is an invitation to come join me – food is to follow!  That was the case in the NBC Charlotte Today studios on Monday at @WCNC-TV Charlotte, North Carolina, in preparation for my food segment.  The appetites were stirring…

The ‘Star’ of the show – Vidalia onions!  This Vidalia onion casserole has been a staple on the menu in my home for many barbeques, Father’s Day and summer celebrations.  It smells delightful, is a quick and easy recipe to follow, inexpensive, has a gluten-free option and can be prepared ahead of time for ease of entertaining.

Here, in the South, food lovers have a love of casseroles and home-grown Vidalia’s!

Hopefully, as you gather your loved ones in celebration, this recipe will become one of your family-favorites, too.

Support and Buy Local  .  Happy Father’s Day   .   Enjoy!

About Cynthia Ferich

After writing and self-publishing “MaMa Mia Cucina” in 2007, Cynthia's writing, cooking and culinary teachings evolved into being as an entity surrounding food, fun, family and friends.

In an effort to capture her family’s ‘old world’ Italian recipes for future generations to enjoy, her grandmother, ‘Noni’, and Cynthia joined forces. "She measured, I wrote, and we cooked."

During her grandmother's latter 80 years, she traveled in memory through her life, as they shared in stories of a lifetime and long ago. As they shared this final chapter in her life, what Cynthia soon discovered through all of the measuring, cooking, sharing in the love of a family, and in the love of a friendship, was the passion for cooking, and a love that nourishes us all… It’s all about the FOOD!
