I told Jenna that since she isn't feeling well this week, I'll toss up a few recipes for her. This one I've never made, but it looks simple enough. Plus I trust the source. If it was some obscure recipe website I got this from, I'd not want to post it till I could try it, but coming from Alton Brown on Food Network, I'm pretty sure it's a good recipe!!!

Hope you feel better soon Jenna!!!!!!!

I will be the first to admit that I am a super newb in the kitchen...
but I have been wondering this for awhile. When you say 3/4 cup diced onion, is there an easy way to measure that based on the amount of the onion you use? Like for instance, 3/4 cup onion = 3/4 1 whole onion?

I (personally) use that as a guide for good sized onions and apples, too.
