    So I brainstormed in the car yesterday with my boys about orange foods. What we came up with, I have no recipe book that has the recipe in it. If I get the recipe off of a reputable website, say from the food network site, does it still count?

    Shame that your fever can’t be cured by more cowbell. Though I guess a cowbell could be orange… not so much edible.

    I’m brainstorming. It’s starting to hurt.

    everyone, let me just say that the food itself doesn’t have to be orange. it can taste orange, be shaped like an orange, be a favorite dish of william of orange, whatever.

    given the strictures of the theme, i will allow recipes from epicurious or foodtv with special preference to recipes that were, at some point, published somewhere.

    let not the pumpkins and butternut squashes be ignored!

    And carrots. Carrots are very orange.

    ok – not really.

    so, does curry butternut squash soup count as being orange enough? i guess i could shred a few carrots in it if it isn’t, but i’ve not done that before. then again until i actually made up the recipe last year i’d not made curry butternut squash soup either.

    naomi, orange is what you make it.

    So does it count if it was cooked in one of those orange pans from Rachael Ray’s cookware line?

    this is my last word: it can be related to “orange” however you want.
