Mel Lockcuff: How to Chop an Onion without Crying {Foodie Friday}

I’ll be honest… Chopping an onion is a task I usually like someone else to do because it makes me cry every time! I start to chop, my eyes start to burn, and the tears just flow.

Thankfully, my husband Dan has a nifty step-by-step process for how to chop an onion without all the burning and crying.

Step 1 – Cut the top off the onion.

Step 2 – Cut the onion in half.

Step 3 – Peel the onion.

Step 4 – Slice perpendicular to the root.

Step 5 – Slice parallel to the root.

James Moore: Choose Your Garnish Ramen Salad

Our Foodie Friday post this week is brought to you by none other than Busvlogger (aka James Moore).

I developed this simple version of Ramen Salad for busy families with picky kids. If someone you’re serving can’t even, with the green onions, leave them out and reserve them as a garnish. I also give you a few pointers for add-ins that make this salad a lot of fun.
