You know what I dipped in chocolate if you’ve followed The Orange Bee in 2012. I declared January “orange” month and I’m having a blast choosing and dreaming up orange recipes. I’ve got a list going so be sure and stay in touch for the next “orange” post. If the recipe isn’t my own I’ll […]
Happy New Year to you and Happy Anniversary to The Orange Bee! The folks at word press made it pretty simple for me to summarize my first year of blogging, statistically speaking, that is. It seems that my post titled “Cheese Please” received more hits than any other. Here is the link incase you missed […]
I hate to do this, but I’m going to have to give credit where credit is due. I owe it all to Oprah. In one of her more recent “O” magazines she dedicates a few pages to pies. They all look delicious but the ones that caught my eye were these cute little hand pies. […]
As I was looking through the lens of my camera, while photographing this applesauce, I heard a soft little “bzzzzz”. I pulled my eye away from the camera to discover a sweet little bee stopping by for a sample of homemade applesauce. Now she is one smart bee! The hives are not near where I […]
The heat has returned to North Texas. It seems as though we might break that record after all for # of days with temps reaching 100 or higher. After all those wicked hot days we’ve had I said, “why not tack on a couple of more just to break the all time record!” Fall is […]
Hatch recipes are history for a while – I’ve moved on to peaches. Throughout the summer I’ve found it interesting to see my fellow bloggers in different parts of the country blogging about peaches. Greg and Katherine over at Rufus’ Food and Spirits Guide: http://rufusguide.wordpress.com/ have blogged about peaches since late June. You can find recipes for […]
If you can’t beat the heat- may as well join it! That’s just what we did last weekend when we brought home bags full of fresh hatch chiles from Central Market. We sampled so many food items with hatch chiles in them that we didn’t even need lunch that day. We brought home fresh hatch […]
Seventeen days of temperatures topping 100*. Thank goodness for an air-conditioned home where we can find respite from the intolerable heat. One of our favorite ways to spend the late afternoon or cocktail hour is lounging in our rockers on the back porch, with a commanding view of the surrounding countryside, complete with grazing cattle, […]
After chowing down on those ribs I told you about earlier this week I was really in the mood for a lighter meal. My mom brought me a recipe for shrimp tacos she’d found while perusing the newspaper. She knows how much I love shrimp and thought I would enjoy the recipe. After I read […]
I am a tad baffled – last year I harvested over 150# of peaches from my two peach trees – this year maybe 15-20#. I’m dismayed by the lack of fruit coming from my trees this summer, but I’ve managed to put what did come off to good use. Peachy Keen Cobbler is the latest […]
