When I was planning this dinner, I had no idea how very orange it would be. REALLY orange. The day-glo from the cheese flavored crackers was almost identical to the natural brightness of the sweet potatoes.

Orange overload aside, these two recipes are so good.

I like quirky recipes like the Cheesy Chicken. Crackers and melted butter, that’s it. The chicken was extremely moist and the crackers lent a great mix of salty cheese flavor.

The Sweet Potato Fries are meltingly tender inside, with a crisp, caramelized exterior.

Have yourself some orange food soon. Just add a sprig of parsley if you need some contrast.
