Orange Is The New Black… In The Kitchen Too

I have established in the past that I am just one BIG fashion fuck no.

Fashion Dont Runway GiGi

Or in other words… I have no idea what’s “in” and “out” when it comes to clothing trends… And much to my husband’s chagrin… I typically leave my house without wearing any pants.

The mental block for caring about what I look like is real… IT’S REAL PEOPLE.

fashion fuck no

However… The Food Pervert and I have heard on several occasions that…

Orange Is The New Black.

Are we wrong?

Perhaps this craze won’t be “in vogue” until June 9th?

That being said… Instead of WAITING for the furor to hit… The Food Pervert and I were influenced by a certain someone to get ahead of the trend (she certainly helped me, as she seems to always be so well put together) and sport “the new black” in this week’s recipe for Book To Plate.

Someone else who seems to be rockin’ the orange once again… Even in her cooking… Is Laura Prepon, who also happens to be that certain someone mentioned above who inspired us to don the orange before the “chi-chi” hits the mainstream.

LAURA PREPON ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK

Sure, Laura Prepon is a rather busy actress best known for rockin’ the inmate get up as Alex Vause on Orange Is The New Black (its new season will be up on Netflix, June 9th… If you didn’t catch on)… Or you know of her thanks to your addiction to watching That 70’s Show reruns on Comedy Central.

Sure, these shows are also why I know her as well… But now when I think of Laura… I will associate her with…

TURMERIC TURKEY.

Turmeric Turkey

If Laura Prepon’s character, Alex’s… Well, YOU KNOW (you know what I am talking about if you watch the show)… With Taylor Schilling’s character Piper… Is as good as this turmeric turkey recipe… Then I don’t BLAME Piper for being addicted to Alex and going back for seconds… Thirds… Fourths… Fifths…

In fact, Piper’s antics could be compared to what I was like after Pervy and I made this recipe…

Now while Piper’s mindset might not be the healthiest… Chowing down on copious amounts of this recipe certainly is as turmeric is phenomenal for your health and we could all use a little more lean, high-quality protein!

And guess what!? It doesn’t matter what you wear when the food sashays down your throat!
