Should I cook without onions?

My daughter does not like onions and I am finding it very hard to cook food that makes her happy. Almost all my recipes have onions. Should I cook just for her or make the rest of the family happy?

Is the rest of the family allergic to the absence of onions?

Can someone be allergic to the absence of onions?

If you like things without a taste...

Because spices don't exist.

Yes, their food will not taste as good.

That is not actually possible. Onions smell and taste awful, and they impart this awful flavor into anything that is cooked with them.

They smell bad, they taste bad, and they are high in sugar.

There are people who say that they smell okay, taste good, and are worth the sugar.

That's not what an allergy is.

Ha! Tricked my daughter and she doesn't even know! I ground up onions in the food processor and mixed it with the meatballs! Everyone said how delicious it is! (So it ain't no allergy)

Are you sure everyone wasn't just being polite?

Cooking hack: always multiply the amount of onions in any recipe by zero.

That of course refers to whole onions. After grinding/chopping onions, follow recipe (or make up your own) accordingly.
