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 […]
What could be better than a party full of “Sweet Treats”? I can’t think of a thing! Lisa at “Sweet As Sugar Cookies” invited me to join her party with that delicious Orange Cheesecake. I love a party and I joined right in. Thanks for the invite Lisa! If you have a sweet tooth drop […]
I recently posted a cookie recipe for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies https://theorangebee.wordpress.com/2011/12/10/one-batch-of-cookies/#more-2356 and talked about how I wanted to bake more cookies for the Christmas season. I did it! I had an ulterior motive for baking cookies, not that we don’t like to eat cookies around here, I needed a gift for a Chinese gift exchange, not […]
Ahhhh, tis’ the season – for baking cookies. Have you ever hosted a “cookie exchange”? Every year I consider hosting one but I’ve never followed through with it.

Way back in February on a day when the temperature was 12* outside I baked a batch of these “to die for” bars. I had mentioned at the end of that post that I would like to make them again using a smaller pan to see if I could produce a thicker bar. This […]
To quote Lucy Van Pelt in Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz, “All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” Today I made a Chocolate Pecan Loaf Cake, I’ve got love, but I needed a little chocolate. I am considering submitting a few recipes for a holiday recipe contest sponsored […]
Funny how kids grow up right before our very eyes. If you are a parent you’ve no doubt discovered this phenomenon to be one that takes place all too quickly as well as right before our very eyes. When our children are young it’s impossible not to dream of how they will emerge as young […]
