I was pleasantly surprised, well it was more like totally excited when Ryan, over at Ryan Bakes http://www.ryanbakes.com/ held a giveaway for one of her favorite cookbooks and I won! The title, Desserts From The Famous Loveless Cafe. You’ll find the The Loveless Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee and opened its doors in 1951.
This summer I plan on posting recipes using local summer fruits and vegetables. Back in the late spring I started my first raised bed garden. With the idea of keeping it simple I planted tomatoes, several varieties, peppers, strawberries, herbs and an eggplant. The tomatoes have done wonderfully, the eggplant nothing yet, the peppers have […]
I promised “vintage” recipes for the month of May. I looked up the word vintage in the dictionary and turns out it is a word used to describe wine. This may not be news to you, my savvy readers, but it was to me…in that it isn’t descriptive of other things with age. Below is the […]
What could be better than a party full of “Sweet Treats”? I can’t think of a thing! Lisa at “Sweet As Sugar Cookies” invited me to join her party with that delicious Orange Cheesecake. I love a party and I joined right in. Thanks for the invite Lisa! If you have a sweet tooth drop […]

Today was one of those glorious days. Chilly, well actually downright cold this morning. A frosty 28* that evolved to a sunny 65* matchless day. It reminds me why we all welcome “spring” when she blows in. Meantime it is still January and we have a birthday to celebrate at The Orange Bee. FYI: The […]
