One of my favorite events that takes place in the summer is the farmers market on the square in downtown Rockwall, Texas. It’s small but growing each year. I manage the gourmet kitchen store on the square, so every Saturday morning I venture over to see what the farmers have for sale.
In the short time I spent in the kitchen these last few days I whipped up these healthy, fruity, tasty muffins. They are like a ray of sunshine in The Orange Bee kitchen. Let me share with you why these are so good for you. First of all they are loaded with those orange beauties […]
I mentioned in my last post that I was in the mood for some bread baking. I’d spied this recipe for low-cal Maple-Pecan Sticky Buns in this month’s issue of Southern Living. Feeling a bit adventurous I tackled this recipe before church on Sunday morning.
