This recipe is one of my all time favorites but honey is not on the original list of ingredients. I’ve worked to get the right proportions as I needed honey to be included, not only because I knew it would work and taste fantastic, but I wanted to share the recipe with you. While it is […]
I am still enjoying flans and custards as a rich yet light dessert. I’m on a roll with this custard-flan thing! What I love about today’s recipe is the lemon flavor.
I have always been a fan of “flan“. It’s the creaminess that makes me love it so much. Just thinking of the creamy custard rolling around on my tongue and savoring the caramel flavor make my mouth water. Often times while eating out I order it for dessert. I have always been afraid to try making flan at […]
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 […]
As you can see in this photo bees like honey too! If you look closely you will see their little brown proboscis engaged in retrieving honey from the section of this comb that was popped open. With scarcely any exceptions honey will crystallize sooner or later. Many of you are tempted to throw out your […]
Since moving to North Carolina I’ve found more time to visit my local farmer’s markets. One of my favorite booths belongs to the “Goat Lady Dairy“. I first discovered them when visiting the Piedmont Triad Farmers Market back in the summer while here on a visit. After we completed our move I ventured out to […]

I suppose it’s got something to do with growing up in Texas where pecan trees are abundant and spending an afternoon shelling pecans is synonymous with canning tomatoes or pickling okra. It’s time consuming but well worth it. A delightful way to spend a fall afternoon! They […]
I can not go for long without sharing a dessert recipe. Using honey in all of my posts this year of course lends itself to lots of recipes for sweets. One of my goals in publishing honey recipes for twelve months is to substantiate the use of honey in all sorts of recipes. You’ve now […]
Did you ever try a recipe only to find the result disappointing? Such is the case with Smoky Brisket Chili. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good enough, just not up to Orange Bee standards. If you asked my man, Dan he’d say, “chili shouldn’t have beans”. This chili has two kinds of beans so I […]
Summer is around the corner and that signals vacation time! Many of you may already be planning exotic vacations, European excursions, mountain hikes, beach breaks, or visits to family and friends. Often times when we travel we incur tummy troubles. Public places such as airplanes, trains, ships, and rest stops are germ havens. I would venture […]
