I love cookies! Shortbread cookies are at the top of my favorites list. I find them to be one of the easiest cookies to make and I love the simple ingredients. Remember Lorna Doones? Maybe you still buy them and dunk them in a glass of milk? When I was a kid we ate our share […]
MERRY CHRISTMAS & BLESSINGS TO ALL! The Orange Bee will be on “Christmas” vacation until after the first of the year.
Food words are often mispronounced. I attribute this to the fact that so many of the foods we enjoy are not “American”. We love foods from so many countries here in America that we need lessons in how to correctly pronounce some of these words! How about “Ancho” or “Anise“, “Croissant” or “Boudin” (one of my […]
With the decline of our precious honeybees the availability of pure, unprocessed honey is becoming limited. Oh yes, jars of golden nectar are evident on the shelves of our local grocery stores, big box stores and even drug stores; some with a remarkably low price tag.

Once I decided to make these from scratch they […]

Finding my self settled into our new home here in North Carolina I began to think of finding a very part-time job, preferably revolving around food. I paid a visit to The Savory Spice Shop recently to see what they had to offer. I was quite impressed with the shop and it’s many offerings. My nose […]
Here it is, the recipe for Gold Bars. This is such a simple recipe, easy to whip up and not time-consuming at all. On the day you decide to make these be sure to take out the butter and cream cheese ahead of time for softening. Once you begin the recipe you’ll have them in […]
