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.

Gold Bars Bring Tears
If you’ve been following my blog you might have seen the post and recipe for “Gold Bars”. You may or may not have taken note that I gave recognition to a friend, Shelly Musselman for the recipe. If you made “Gold Bars” I’m quite certain you discovered them to be sweet, gooey and delicious. When […]

Gooey Finger-Lickin’ Grilled Cheese
In the home of “The Orange Bee” when it is announced that grilled cheese is on the menu it is consistently met with “ooohhh, aahhh, & mmm…”. My fabulous family thinks of it as comfort food, do you? The following recipe is not the standard slice of American cheese on white bread version. I don’t […]

Sunshine Salad
Today the sun was shining. “So“, you say. Well I am here to tell you that I have not seen the glorious sun shine for many days. In north Texas we have been experiencing cloudy, rainy, drizzly, cold, grey days for so long I’ve lost count. It was refreshing to have sun and shadows all […]

Spicy, Intoxicating Jambalaya
Someone mentioned “Crawfish Pie” the other day and it got me thinking about cajun food, creole dishes, and how much I have a taste for the variety that it brings to the table. I grew up in southeast Texas, right on the Louisiana border, with merely a river separating the two states and the two […]

Smoked Almond & Peppercorn Goat Cheese Log
This is not your average, boring appetizer. This my friends is savory, piquant, creamy, and crunchy all in one delicious bite. The goat cheese provides creaminess, the peppercorns and smoked almonds the crunch and bite. The parsley and chives bring along freshness. Don’t hesitate to serve it with the apples as they are needed to […]

Frosty Berry-Pomegranate Smoothie
I woke up this morning to a grey, gloomy, chilly January day. This will not ruin my day. I had a few cups of – you guessed it – coffee. Deadman’s Reach Raven Brew to be exact. The back of the bag of Deadman’s Reach claims that it will “inspire great ideas and noble emotions” […]

Frothy, Flavorful, Lip-Smacking Coffee
My new refrigerator arrived today all shiny and sleek and icy cold. Just what I wanted, OH, and needed desperately. Talk about make a girl want to stock up with fresh green, orange, yellow and red veggies, cheeses, fresh fish and meat, nice farm fresh eggs and butter, and ripe juicy fruit, but that will […]

Peaches & Refrigerators
It is exhausting – searching for a new refrigerator. The sheer confusion that sets in after opening door after door, pulling out drawer after drawer, comparing features, water purifier or no, ice maker in the door or in the freezer itself, water and ice dispenser in the door yes or no, lights blue or white, […]

Lew’s Lone Star Chili
It is freezing and windy outside, 32* to be exact. The wind is blowing the snow in circles, around me, around the birds, around everything. My eyes are watering so that I cannot focus. I decided since snow is a rare occurrence in my part of Texas that I should photograph “Lew’s Lone Star Chili” […]
