Stuffed Onions (and spinach omelets)

WARNING: You must love onions to like this recipe.

Nathan usually starts dinner on Wednesdays while I am at work (he’s so sweet). A few Wednesdays ago, when I got home, I helped him – really all I did was beat some eggs. Well, I guess I chopped all the veggies before I went to work so all he would have to do is cook - and let me say, taking the core out of an onion is no easy task.

I got the recipe for the stuffed onions from College Vegetarian Cooking: Feed Yourself and Your Friends by Megan Carle, Jill Carle and the omelet recipe from the April 2008 edition of Martha Stewarts Everyday Foods. I’m fairly certain that Quinoa is a complete protein – so the eggs really weren’t necessary – but a growing boy doesn’t see a stuffed onion as a whole meal. Even though he loves his veggies, he still said halfway through the meal, “this would be really great with meat in it, maybe sausage?”
