What You Can Do With Oranges And Recipes

By Carrie Smith

I love to cook with oranges. Oranges are really a wonderful thing to have on hand when it comes time to cook something. There are so many different ways you can liven up a meal with an orange. With that being said, I will show you why orange recipes are so wonderful.

Oranges are so delicious and are chosen over other citrus fruits because they contain less acid and more of that sweet sugar. That is the reason why oranges are used so much in recipes. These are the reasons why oranges are also eaten plain, unlike most other citrus fruits, and why they are so good in recipes and combined with other meals.

The first and foremost orange recipe that comes to everyones mind is of course orange chicken. And why not as orange chicken is by far one of the most tastiest orange recipes out there. The best thing about orange chicken, you dont have to be a pro to cook it. And I know from personal experience.

Another famous orange recipe would be of course the orange julius. There is even a little shop in most malls that sell only that. And if you have ever tried an orange julius, you know why. And the nice thing about the orange julius is that they are surprisingly easy to make.

The next best thing to an orange julius would of course be orange ice cream. Homemade ice cream by itself is one of the best things ever made. Orange flavored ice cream really hits the spot when you've been out in the sun all day. And it is pretty easy to make!

And get ready for this next wild idea, orange pie! When I first saw this recipe I didnt know what to think, but it was good. Its a pretty easy recipe to follow too. This is perfect to have around christmas time. Your family wont know what hit them!

Something else that you can do with oranges is to turn them into chips. This is both delicious and healthy, so you cant go wrong. Trying to get your kids to eat healthy things is pretty tough, but this recipe does help. Pretty easy to make too.

The possibilities with oranges and cooking are pretty much endless. If you put oranges in your recipes you really cant screw it up. With so many benefits that come from an orange, it is a win win for everyone. You may just want to try out a few orange recipes and see for yourself!
