This past weekend I got my act together and managed to roast a chicken early in the morning, photograph it, refrigerate it and then serve steak for dinner. My mission was to be able to share this recipe with you but I wanted a photograph. Here are the reasons I worked it out this way. […]
They tell me these weather conditions are not normal for North Carolina. Snow, snow, snow and many freezing cold days. Yesterday we got 7″ in about 6 hours. I don’t mind the snowy, frigid temps and seeing my world blanketed in white. I’ve always wanted to live where the winters warranted wearing a coat. Before […]
I was in the mood for something sweet yet a bit healthy. Hmmm…oatmeal cookies seemed like a good place to start. Once I decided on oatmeal it was a matter of what else to put in them. No plump golden raisins in the pantry but what I did find were sticky sweet dates. I love […]

A flat pizza-type bread, Schiacciata originates in the Tuscan area of Italy. Commonly sprinkled with olive oil and salt just before baking, additional herbs bring a welcome flavor to the otherwise rather plain bread. […]
I completely missed my date of return. In my final post of 2013 I indicated I’d be back up and running by November. I didn’t mean to lie but I should have known better. If you have been following my blog for anytime and read the last post you know my husband was working out […]
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 […]
IT IS DONE! Honey Harvest 2013 is finished for the most part. I still have one small hive up the road which I will check on when the next “good” day rolls around. I may get a few more jars of honey from hive Queen Bella.
