Adventures of a Girl Who Can't Cook

I’ve decided to try making at least one new dish a week.  This week’s new dish was enchiladas!  The recipe came from Gooseberry Patch’s Comfort Foods.

I made my grocery list and headed off to the store.  Produce is in the front of the store so I decided to get my onion first.  There, I ran into my first problem.  What’s the difference between white and yellow onions?  I had no clue, so I chose a white onion.  When I returned home I consulted the internet.  If anyone is as clueless as I am, here’s your answer:

Yellow onions are usually used for cooking because when cooked they “add excellent flavor.”  The article went on to say that when a recipe calls for an onion, it usually means yellow. …well, crud.

But wait!  As I read farther the article also said, “White onions are commonly used in Mexican cuisines.”  Score!

Here’s the link if you’d like to read about red onions as well.

I think the actual process of making the enchiladas still took me longer than necessary (I took forever to chop the onions.  Maybe I need a slap chop.) but the outcome was good!  According to the hubby it’s the best dish I’ve ever made…not that there have been many.  Now on to bigger and better things!
