Yikes, since we finished off that luscious cheesecake so quickly I needed, yes I said, “needed”, to bake something sweet! I decided on gingersnaps. As I write, the first batch is in the oven and I’m going to tell you they don’t look too promising. The recipe said form a dough, no dough formed. It […]
Cheesecake, that is! If you’ve followed my blog you already know this past weekend was a big time at The Orange Bee. Miss T was celebrating her 17th birthday – a little early. I am tickled that she requested cheesecake for her birthday dinner dessert. It disappeared quickly, meaning no calorie laden cake staring me […]
It has been a busy, busy week around The Orange Bee. This weekend will also be a whirlwind, beginning with tonight’s early birthday celebration for Miss T. Seventeen, 17, oh my gosh she will be turning 17 in a few days. How does this happen? She’s pleased as punch to be gaining years but for […]
Check out the “Ponderings” page for some cool photos I took yesterday afternoon. It’s so beautiful outdoors that it’s hard to slave over a hot stove to bring you new food creations. Don’t fret – it shan’t be long before I post another delicious recipe. Meanwhile soak in spring in all it’s splendor. Enjoy!

I begin with anticipation of enjoying […]
Welcome my friends! My apologies for having been gone so many days. This past week did not allow time for me to join you here, at The Orange Bee. My absence has been at the forefront of my thoughts everyday. I am happy to return and share with you an ideal recipe for this warm, […]
I was craving chocolate cake. I do not know why but I was. It could be because I spotted this recipe in a magazine while I was waiting for a slow leaking tire to be repaired. I was hungry, the worst time to grocery shop or peruse recipes. Everything looks good when you’re hungry. All […]
UGH! The March winds are rearing their ugly heads today. The roaring sound is relentless, the phrase wind-blown is in effect, and my hair is tousled, to say the least. The twenty-seven mile per hour winds are wrecking havoc on my bee adventures and I am not happy about it. There are bee affairs […]
Carrots? The favorite food of cartoon character Bugs Bunny hardly needs an explanation. I bet your mother told you that eating carrots would keep your eyesight bright. She was correct, the beta-carotene in carrots helps protect our vision and antioxidants found in carrots provide protection against macular degeneration. Did you know that besides my favorite […]
