We love visiting and shopping our local Farmers Curb Market in Greensboro. Dating back to 1874, open Saturdays 7am- noon and Wednesdays from 8am-1pm, it is one of the oldest markets in North Carolina. Offering a variety of fresh, local produce, baked goods, arts and crafts, as well as milk, eggs, meat and seafood. On […]
Grilled zucchini salad is now on my favorites list for ways to use the abundance of zucchini we brought back from the coast a couple weekends ago. I grill our dinners most evenings and love it when I can throw everything on the grill and not heat up my kitchen. I admit I really don’t […]
Spring has sprung in North Carolina and along with it temps dropping to freezing last night and predicted for tonight as well. Isn’t this just the way it works? Mother nature doing what she does. None the less we are enjoying spending time outdoors and grilling most of our meals. My local grocery had some […]
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 […]
My mouth is still watering from the yummy pesto I shared with you in my last post. Miss “T” made more than enough to make another meal using her “Italian Parsley Pesto”. I bought some baby eggplant at the farmers market along with fresh tomatoes on the weekend and was deciding how to prepare them when […]
Having been home less than a week from our fabulous island vacation I’m beginning to settle in to my home routine…it is just the beginning of summer and not having to go to work is a bonus. I’m pretending I’m on a stay-cation now and making the most of the simpleness of summer on the Ridge. […]
In three days I will be the guest chef at Central Market Cooking School. You might already know this and if so I apologize for the repetition. I thought it would be fun to share the recipes we will be preparing on that night with my blog readers – that’s YOU! By the way I […]
This is only my second “Green” post and I am having so much fun choosing foods and recipes to share with you, my readers. The produce section has taken on a whole new appeal, so many green choices to work with! Let’s talk about bees and how important they are to the production of food. […]
Around the Orange Bee we just can’t seem to escape from our leisurely evenings. Leisurely evenings and food blogging are not simultaneous. I know from reading other food blogs that preparing the meal, photographing it and serving it before it becomes cold or your family loads up and heads to the nearest fast food joint, […]
This week I acquired 2 more bee hives. My man Dan and I removed 2 hives from 2 water shut off boxes, both in the same yard, just a few feet from each other. The entire removal and set up took us about 5 hours. Luckily it was a bit cloudy and cooler on the […]
