If you want to honor breast cancer awareness month, or if you just happen to like pink, there are a lot of options for pink foods that don't require you to get a new set of cookware or buy cookies. Besides, baking your own cookies is much more fun, isn't it?
A good place to start is by looking back at our archives, because last year some food bloggers got together to make up their own pink recipes. Once you've had your fill of those, you can take a look at the famous pink recipes from KitchenAid's Cook For the Cure collection, as well as looking (perhaps somewhat lustily) at all their lovely pink appliances, as well. iVillage has a complete pink party menu that will get you from appetizers and cocktails through dessert. Speaking of cocktails, there are well over 100 cocktail recipes that turn out pink-hued drinks, or at least use pink in the name. Finally, RecipeZaar, a great online recipe source full of user-submitted recipes and reviews, has 156 pink recipes, including one for Pink Fluff, a sweet concoction that can be either salad or dessert.
Whew! That was quite a list, but you should be able to find plenty of pink foods even without using these resources. How about a medium steak for dinner, followed up by a creamy strawberry milkshake?

May is National BBQ Month and National Hamburger Month
Cupcakes, not for dessert (unless beef is your idea of a treat)

Yesterday I was in the grocery store and saw some kind of Campbell's soup in Pepto-Bismol-pink cans. All this pink is entirely too revolting and I can't imagine being surrounded by a pink kitchen any more than being enticed by things coming from pink cookware!
I'm all for breast cancer research but when did a "man's" disease like heart attacks ever need all these nickel-and-dime fund raising efforts? Instead of a month to think about breast cancer, could we (in the US — other industrialized nations are waaaay ahead of us!) have one for national health care that aims at getting out the votes for an efficient, effective, comprehensive approach to health care for everyone in the US?

I just received my pink Santoku Kitchenaid knife. It's
really too cool use; maybe if I had the rest of the
pink collection. Better yet, just give me a Kitchenaid
of every color, make and model and I'll be set for life!

uh...like who?
I work in breast cancer research and I assure you there are no other countries that are head of the US in oncology research. I would say Germany is the next best and a very close second if not equal, but there are very few countries that top the US in oncology research, or any form of healthcare for that matter.
