chop onions without tears!!! (from yumsugar)

I'm crying too. But not because I'm cutting onions...but because I found this great post!!!


Usually, I just post great foodie links on Twitter (@we3foodies), but I felt that this genius post from YumSugar needed its own post!

Personally, I've tried everything to keep from crying while chopping onions: cutting off the bottom to let out the gasses, wearing sunglasses, and even putting a wood pencil in my mouth (old superstition).  But YumSugar seemed to have some great tips!!!  To find them out...

fuzzy taco's? ABSOLUTELY!

Fuzzy's Tacos has great, inexpensive tacos with delicious, fresh flavors.  Compared to similar taco places, like Torchy's, Fuzzy's tacos are way less greasy, and sooo good!

I'd been dying to taste Smashburger, even though it's chain (but it only has a few locations in the DFW area, so sue me).  Afterward, I saw the cutest cupcake place a couple of doors down, so I decided to check that out too!  Both places are super casual and great to pop in, sit a while, or take your orders to go.

the reheating pizza dilemma

Yoda says, "For all of your pizza reheating problems, read we3foodies, you will!"


After solving the pizza dilemma in Local Pizza Wars, the next day I was faced with another dilemma: how to reheat my pizza!!! Wood-fired pizza shouldn't be submitted to the microwave (shudders), but what  is the best way to reheat pizza in the oven? Searches on Google come up with different results, which may leave you with burnt leftovers.  Thankfully you're on the we3foodies blog, where we constantly seek to provide you with all of the cooking questions that have been keeping you up at night!

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place pizza on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (wax paper burns in the oven...huge difference). Bake for 6 minutes, and enjoy!

local pizza wars!!!



Jersey Shore on Thursday night is a weekly staple for me (Jenn) and a friend of mine, so we decided to get pizza and keep it Italian! Besides, Snooki and crew are working in a Italian pizzeria this season, so how perfect is pizza as the menu choice?  Unfortunately, after reaching a consensus on pizza, we began to fight as to which local pizzeria to pick.  My friend said Dallas institution Campisi's.  I said my Victory Park favorite, Neo Pizzeria.  Hence, pizza wars.  We each bought a pizza from our favorite place, and battled it out.
