It’s going to be a cheesy kind of day!
We all crave a little appetizer before our grand meal. Or to go with cocktails at a summer barbecue or holiday shindig.
These recipes have Vidalia onions. I know that is a big surprise considering it is Vidalia onion season. Out of all the counties in Georgia, Glenville produces the most Vidalia onions in the world. I hope you have a chance to sample the Glenville onions.
