Since joining the team at Alexia Foods as one of their blogger tastemakers, I’ve had a fun time trying to recreate old classic recipes using some of my favorite Alexia Food products.
You might recall the Sweet Potato Casserole Bites I made awhile back, using Alexia Sweet Potato Puffs. Well, I’m at it again, but this time using Alexia’s Onion Rings!

I’m sure many of you have had Hot Onion Dip. Well, I took Hot Onion Dip one step further and added crunchy and delicious Alexia Panko Breaded Onion Rings in place of chopped onions. The crunch of the onion rings with the creamy cheesy dip was absolute perfection… especially when served in sweet bell peppers!
I look forward to browsing your pictures and hope you enjoy this recipe!

Alexia’s **Oven Fries** would help make my **Weekends-spending-quality-time-with-my-sister complete!**
She loves those fries as do I; they are made from organic potatoes and don’t contain scary ingredients/stuff that she and I can’t have (e.g., soy, onion [sorry], garlic, dairy, palm oil, etc.), for which we’re thankful.
