Crazy times – traveling in Italy during the COVID19 outbreak. Little did I know when I posted about traveling to Italy that the adventure would be as full of craziness as it was. My BFF and I arrived in the beautiful city of Milan on Saturday the 22 of February. On Sunday the 23rd COVID19 […]
“Bourbon Pecan Pie“, ’nuff said! It seems pecans are a favorite holiday nut. I know around The Orange Bee we like them in many ways, spiced, sugared, toasted, in cookies, cakes, breads and especially in this pie. My man Dan wouldn’t consider it a holiday without a Bourbon Pecan Pie. It’s the subtle whiff and […]
Sweet potato pie simply means ” It’s Fall Y’all”. I am overjoyed that I made this pie with the marshmallow crème meringue as it is the most delicious use of sweet potatoes imaginable.

Flavored with orange zest, juice and liqueur they smell divine while baking and are delicious dunked into a cup of hot tea. Well you know I love orange! Joining […]
The month of November I was chosen by Genie of Bunny Eats Design to host “Our Growing Edge”. It is a round up of recipes sent in by bloggers from around the world. A wonderful way to share and get to know other bloggers, we all have a common interest – do we not? All month I’ll […]
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.
