November Monthly Project Finale! Another Recipe of YOURS!

[ 3 ] 11/30/2010 |

We’re wrapping up this month’s project for November where we tried some of the recipes featured in the Taste of the Sisterhood and I got a chance to make a bunch of YOUR recipes too!

It was AWESOME!

And by the way, I went in for a second round of the crock pot oatmeal I featured last week from Mary and this time I added cinnamon, brown sugar and diced apples and it was EVEN BETTER than the first time I made it! A must-have for the cold season!

The last recipe I am featuring this week is one from Beki at Wild Child Gone Good. And Beki, I hope you don’t mind but it’s been a busy busy week here so I took a few liberties with the recipe. I am pretty sure it was still ABSOLUTELY delicious because a certain 4 year old someone loved it so much he insisted I take a picture of him eating the last little bit:

The recipe was for Twice Baked Potatoes from Weight Watchers and it was fabulous.

Serves: 8

Ingredients:

4 large baking potatoes, scrubbed
1 garlic bulb
1/2 C low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 C grated parmesan cheese
1/2 C low-fat or fat free sour cream

Paprika, to garnish

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Pierce potatoes w/ fork; place on oven rack.  Wrap garlic bulb in foil & place next to potatoes.  Bake for 60 minutes.

Take potatoes & garlic out and let them cool for about 15-30 minutes, or until comfortable to handle.

Cut potatoes in half length wise.  I use a serrated knife so that I don’t damage the skins.  Scoop the insides into a large bowl.  Leave skins intact.  Cut garlic bulb in half; squeeze out pulp into the bowl with the potato insides.

Add broth, pepper, Parmesan cheese and sour cream.  Stir and mash with a fork to the desired texture.  Spoon the mixture back into potato skins.  Sprinkle w/ some more Parmesan cheese and paprika.

Return potatoes to oven on a cookie sheet and bake until thoroughly heated and lightly browned.  About 15 minutes.

That was Beki’s recipe and I, um, created a couple of  little tiny time-crunch shortcuts: Yes, I admit it. I nuked the potatoes. I wanted to do it the oven way, but my family was coming over and I had to hurry it up! So I nuked em. Don’t hate me. Then I scooped em out, put the shells in the oven to get the outsides crispy while I made the insides, and instead of baking the bulb of garlic, I sauteed minced garlic on the stove, put it in the blender with a little broth and blended it all up and added it into the potato mixture.

It was delicious! Everyone raved about them and I will totally make these again! Do try it!

    I love this recipe!! I hope everyone else likes it too!

    Christie – making the skins crispy sounds like a pretty yummy liberty to be taken! I might try that next time!

    Can’t wait to try this one! And I am so glad to hear that you are enjoying the crockpot oatmeal. I love having breakfast all done and ready to go in the morning. Plus it reheats well in the microwave for the rest of the week.
    DH and I devored the Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti, even though it was sans cheese! I have the Velveeta now for next time. I posted about making that here:

    Christie, is it too late to submit a recipe, now that it’s December? DH makes a fantastic side dish called Harvest Vegetable Medley. I’ve been meaning to send it to you for a week or so and then T-Day came and all the rest!
    Happy Cooking Everyone!
