Loaded twice-baked potatoes

Serves 4
Who doesn’t love a baked potato loaded with sour cream, bacon, and cheese? It’s a meal in itself, and I like to serve these with a basic side salad or as a side dish with the “Pittsburgh Style” New York Strip Steak
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1⁄2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped into large bits
- 1⁄2 cup chopped scallions
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Using a fork, poke holes in the potatoes in several places to allow for even heat distribution while it bakes. Place the potatoes in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 11⁄2 hours, or until the potatoes are soft when poked with a fork. Let the potatoes cool just until you can pick them up with your hands. Cut the top one- third lengthwise off the potato and set aside. Using a spoon, scoop out the insides of the potato tops and bottoms, making sure to leave about 1⁄4 inch around the inside of the bottom potato sections, and place in a medium bowl. Set the skins aside. Turn the oven to a low broil.
Mash the potatoes in the bowl. Add the sour cream, butter, bacon, scallions, and salt and pepper to taste and stir until well combined. Stuff the potato skins with enough filling so that it makes a dome on the top. Evenly distribute the cheese on top. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Broil until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Orange cranberry flax muffins
Add this recipe to your Bookshelf (click the blue +Bookshelf button)
Makes 24 muffins
Every time I make these delicious healthy muffins, I think of my cousin Dawn, who passed away too young from breast cancer. My mother-in-law found a similar recipe in a newspaper section dedicated to breast cancer awareness month and we both found comfort in making them. These freeze well and you can thaw them one at a time as needed. My favorite way to eat them is to slice them in half, stick them under the broiler for 1 minute, and top with butter. I think they are best served warm.
- 2 oranges
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup ground flax seeds
- 1/2 cup oat bran
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 cup agave syrup
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease two 12-cup muffin pans or use individual muffin cups.
Peel the oranges and discard the rinds. In a blender or food processor, purée the oranges until thick.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, flax seeds, oat bran, baking powder, cranberries, and salt and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, baking soda, buttermilk, orange pulp, eggs, oil, and agave syrup and mix well. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well blended. The batter will be thick.
Fill the muffin cups two-thirds full and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a tooth- pick inserted into the muffin comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature.
