Apple Charlotte Cooking

I HIGHLY recommend this one - so delicious!! we made it for our monthly competitive dinner with Andy's family and one quote from Krissa was "this is the best one yet.."

We made this tonight for dinner and OMG! so good - we used bacon too and it was just wonderful (and quick and easy)

I made a few updates to the site, mainly to try and prevent some of the spammy comments we were getting alot of. Let me know if anything doesn't work for you. Love the comments everyone!

this was so simple and delicious! i made a few changes based on what I had--greek yogurt (full fat) and we at it served over potatoes since there was so much yummy sauce! also i used 2 each of chicken legs, thighs and tenders and chopped parsley. all worked well.

Has anybody made this lasagna? Is it a big huge pan (12x18ish) or a small 8X12? I can't believe it would be small (did she do anything small?) so i'm just going to assume big!!

What a treasure! Thank you so much for all your work on this website! It makes me smile to see her picture & I can almost hear her funny laugh! What a happy soul. We miss her and I think of her often while chopping onions & making the wonderful things she taught me to make! I wish I could leave behind such a legacy as Char did!

I can actually remember the 1st time I ate Char's cinnamon buns at her little house in Cheney.I can see them on the counter and remember every scrumptious bite!!It was a small taste of heaven that bright morning before Char rolled heavy in her volkswagen bug!!(We rolled heavy too, after eating a million buns!)

My house smells like a dream right now - this stock is great. Now - onto Chicken Noodle Soup!!

Thank you so much for the website - not only reminds me of great recipes now held in my 30 lb "Char" recipe book, but also about grace, courage and hospitality

and even for Valentine's day...

Can't wait to bake up a batch of Charlotte's 15th century lasagna...wow!

Very excited to try this recipe...always good to can up chutney when the mangos are abundant. Thanks for sharing!

looking forward to making this tomorrow night for friends. went shopping today. i remember how the apples add sweetness and brighten up the squash--so good!

I tried this, but it took a lot longer to cook than 1 hour 20 minutes. It was pretty good, but didn't have that buttery lightness I was looking for in a pound cake.

Everybody seems to concider Char their best friend, well I'm guilty too. And because of her, at 50 yrs old I'm enrolled in the culinary art institute at SCC. And I miss her everyday.

ok, a bit embarrassing but i'm sort of hooked on this - it's so good and so fast.. we are using the crème fraiche order to make it for two weeks in a row w/ half the ingrediants. yum

Delicious! Made this amidst the snow storm and it was perfect. We didn't have ham, but we had bacon so I used about 6-8 slices. Really tasty!

This is next up at our house. Will report back.

We had this a few weeks ago for a quick weeknight dinner - hittin' it again this week - it's soooooo good and really quick and easy. Served with Salad

This is why mom got me an ice cream maker almost 10 years ago. I still haven't made this ice cream but somehow it's calling to me...hmmmm what happened to my new years resolution? oh ya - i don't have one! ha!

Such a great tribute to such a great lady! I've been serving Char's Pear/Cranberry Crumble for almost every dessert I've served this winter...it always makes a hit, and think of her the whole time. I feel so lucky to have had her touch my life, she was definitely a "blessing" to count! Thanks to Marty and Char's family for sharing this site.

Tonight I made the BBQ meatloaf that Betsy made for Christmas. It was so wonderful!! I substituted oats for breadcrumbs (just because we always have them) and it was great. So flavorful and sweet. Used "Sweet Baby Ray's" for the bbq sauce. I don't think I've ever had a better meatloaf! I'll always think of Char when we have it.

Right on - Jpick! I'm glad you told us! i never would have tried it otherwise!!

Sarah and I are so excited to try these recipes!!! What a great idea. Sending our love to Marty.

Here's ANOTHER cool thing - a marimba piece dedicated to mom - the APPLE CHARLOTTE RAG!!! OMG! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz2yl1VR8wQ&feature=email

Wow--made this with what we had at home, which meant I halved the recipe except for the tofu and used kale instead of spinach. It was delicious. "Nectar" according to Ed. That roasted garlic/tomatoes step makes it really good.

This is so great! The recipe and the site!

Learned so much from Char....still using her "wonderful recipes" and techniques. What a beautiful way of continuing to share your Mom with all of us. She is smiling down on all of you.....just like her picture and sending her blessings, as well. This brought a huge "smile" to my face and heart. I kindly thank you all.

Great idea guys!

this seemed like a good idea for a quite new years day dinner - Mom always made some kind of bean soup on New Years... isn't it good luck? So that's what we are having with big brown bread - Livvy put in all the ingredients and mixed it up - so she "made" dinner, plus, she'll eat anything she makes. :) Tastes great!
