Halloween - Time to Go Orange!
Fall is the season for many orange-colored fruits and veggies!
Oranges, winter squash, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, carrots, persimmons, cantaloupe, and golden beets are in season now.
Why not consider a challenge to feature an orange fruit and vegetable each day leading up to Halloween?
Here are some ideas:
Serve winter squash, carrots, or golden beets as a side dish. Any of these can be cut into pieces, oiled and seasoned, and roasted on a cookie tray in the oven.
Use butternut squash to make a healthy mac and cheese dish.
Pack whole tangerines as snacks or cut up an orange to take with you.
Serve sweet potatoes for dinner. Bake them, mash them, or make oven fries!
Serve a fun Hocus Pocus Mocktail made with carrot juice, lime juice, and club soda. Line the rim with honey and black sugar or black sesame.
Enjoy!
