Recipe : : Baked Rosemary Onion Rings

 

Today I'd like to share this super yummy recipe with you all.

Baked Rosemary Onion Rings

 (Recipe above from Food Doodles)

I was craving something crunchy to eat today, so what did I do? I went straight to Pinterest of course! (If I'm searching for a certain kind of recipe, that site seems to always have it!)

I decided I'd like to try baked onion rings. I had never made baked onion rings before today, but I had all of the ingredients, including fresh rosemary from my garden! I am SO glad I tried these. With very simple ingredients and a little bit of baking time, this was just the snack I had been looking for. I also served these up with a side of my spicy ketchup. So good! Try this recipe, you will not be disappointed.

My super simple spicy ketchup is simply a mixture of 1/4 cup ketchup, any kind you like and about 1/2 teaspoon of Sriracha Sauce.

Giveaway Time!!

It's giveaway time folks! I'm really excited about this. Since this is my first ever giveaway, I've decided to give more than one of you a chance at winning. This giveaway will run until next Wednesday, givng you one week to enter and plenty of time for you to tell your friends to enter too!

Up for grabs are....

One lucky winner will receive a set of two wool dryer balls! These dryer balls are made of natural, pure cleaned and carded wool for the center and vibrant clean, carded wool for the outer layer. They have gone through a three step process - wet felt-needle felt-and wet felted again - to make sure that each is sturdy and will last a lifetime! (wet felted using unscented Dr. Bronner's soap - each ball measures approx. 8 inches around)

A second lucky winner will receive a boobie beanie! This boobie beanie is perfect for your little one to wear to show your support for breastfeeding mama's everywhere! This hat is crocheted by my own mama and former co-owner of The Indigo Forest, Tammy. The hat is made from acrylic yarn, so it's completely machine washable, but to keep it in better shape, hand washing is recommended. (This hat measures approx. 17.5 inches in circumference.)

A third lucky winner will receive one of my adorable gnomes! This gnome is made with yummy colored wool blend felt, cotton thread, and non-toxic glue. Recommended for ages 4 and older. (This gnome stands approx. 4.5 inches tall)

All you have to do to enter is to leave me a comment here letting me know which item you would most like to win! That's it! I will close comments on Wednesday. I'm going to gather names and let my kids help by pulling names out of a hat! I'll announce the winner on Thursday. Good luck to you all! Don't forget to let everyone know! The more people who enter, the more fun this will be.
