Welcome to the Orange Bee!
Hi. I’m Linda and I’m the boss of this blog. Let me state the obvious, I love food. I love to look at food, read about food, look at photos of food, prepare food, cook food and of course, eat food. I also have a mad passion for honeybees. I blame my enthusiasm for bees on my understanding of the important role they play in so much of the food I love.

In The Name Of Love
Last night we followed our Valentines evening tradition and headed to Keller’s drive-in. As I mentioned in my Valentine’s Day post it is an old timey drive-in complete with car-hops who still look like they did in the 80’s. They call you “hon” and “sweetie” and they don’t even know you. It’s a composition […]

Happy Valentine’s Day
February 14, the day of love. I was challenged with deciding what to create to show the love to my family on Valentine’s Day. It’s not that I don’t have a zillion yummy dessert recipes to choose from or half a zillion that I’ve never tried but want to. No, that was not the problem. […]

Modern Museum & Tex Mex
Yesterday began at 6 am. This time of day is not my favorite. I like it best when the alarm has a 7 in front of the other numbers, whether they are :00 or :20 or :45. But yesterday it was 6:00 straight up. Miss T was required to be at her school by 6:45 […]

Gumbo Add-On
After I posted the gumbo recipe my Mom, who is quite familiar with the business of making gumbo called to say she wanted to clue me in on a change my Dad had made to his gumbo recipe, which had not been added to his book. Here’s the story. My Dad had a taste for” […]

Cold & Craving Oooey Gooey Caramel Chocolate Bars
If you are not from Texas you may laugh at us Texans’ totally shutting down every time we get ice and or snow. Laugh all you want but apparently we are not equipped to handle too much of the white stuff so we close our schools to the joy of all students, deplete our grocery […]

Super Bowl Of Gumbo
Isn’t that beautiful? Fresh shrimp ready to be peeled, cooked and eaten. As you know by now these shrimp are destined for the Super Bowl of Gumbo. That is not truly the name of this gumbo but it seemed so fitting to turn it into a puzzle. None of you guessed – nor even attempted. […]
