Ingredient Spotlight: Orange Veggies (Carrots, Sweet Potatoes etc)

We’ve got to get our veggies in today, because I’ve got some serious sweet treat recipes to share with you later this week.

Instead of focusing just on one veggie, I decided we’d do a color.  Orange is perfectly sunshiney to brighten the winter gray.  When I scheduled this Ingredient Spotlight, I forgot all about pumpkin, but feel free to add pumpkin recipes too, if you like.  Pumpkin had it’s own Ingredient Spotlight a few months ago, but we can show it off again this week.

Here are a few of my recipes that use orange veggies:

• Sweet Potatoes and Apples in the Slow Cooker
• Pineapple Carrot Bread
• Apples and Cranberries Baked in a Pumpkin
• All Veggie Vegetable Soup
• Bowtie Pasta with Feta and Lemon Pepper Chicken

Now it’s your turn.  Let’s pump up the Beta-Carotene!  Link up any recipe on your blog that uses sweet potatoes, carrots or pumpkin.  It doesn’t have to be a recent post, just be sure to link directly to your recipe, not just the main page of your blog.  I only ask that you include a link back to Eat at Home in your post.  You can link directly to this post or use the button in the sidebar.

Be sure to visit some of the links below and leave a comment when you do.  You’ll make someone’s day a bit brighter!
