Thank you for your website.  I am looking for a recipe for the Baked Butter Beans that 
was served in the school cafeterias in the 1960s.  They were made with butter beans and 
had ham or bacon in them with a BBQ sauce.

Hello!  Just wondering if you know or can find a savory baked apples recipe. 
One of my old friends back in the US had a French exchange student who prepared 
this dish with baked Granny Smith apples containing a mixture of ham, onion, bell 
pepper, garlic - and I really can't remember what else was in them, just that they 
were delicious!

Thanks in advance for any recipe you turn up, and if none, thanks for your efforts!

all the best,
Martha

Hi Martha,

That's why I couldn't find it - I don't speak enough French to know what to look for.... I wonder... Muddy, could you translate that recipe into English and send it to me?

Thanks,
