I have a hunch many of you have seen this or a similar list of the foods we would not find available if we didn’t have bees. I couldn’t help posting it for those of you haven’t seen it or who need a reminder. When discussing bees and what they pollinate, how they are truly […]
I had plans to make a healthy sauce using carrots and oranges, for some beautiful salmon filets I bought at the Fresh market on Saturday. Fresh Market has become, possibly, my favorite place to shop in Greensboro but I can only allow myself a trip there about every two weeks. It’s small and full of gourmet […]
Giacomo’s! Ah…where do I begin? This little gem of a restaurant/deli and market has become one of our local favorites. Here is link to an article in North Carolina’s “Our State” magazine about the owner, Giacomo and how he came to own this genuine Italian deli.

Not too long ago my adoring husband went for his annual physical exam. He’s a pretty healthy guy and was surprised when his doctor notified him that his vitamin D was on the low side. We eat plenty of the foods known to provide vitamin D
Having an abundance of honey in The Orange Bee kitchen I’m looking for ways to add it to more recipes. I don’t know that I’d call this a recipe as it’s just a little something I threw together. I was prompted to create this recipe not simply for the use of the honey but more […]
IT IS DONE! Honey Harvest 2013 is finished for the most part. I still have one small hive up the road which I will check on when the next “good” day rolls around. I may get a few more jars of honey from hive Queen Bella.
One of the vendors that supplies Enjoy!, the store I manage is a Texas company called “Wimberly Valley Gourmet.
