Morning Everyone
Well everyone it was nice to wake up this morning and not have to shovel the driveway....Had a nice dinner and visit with Gramma last night will have to do that more often. Tonights dinner is quick and easy so it gives you time to maybe get some Christmas shopping in tonight. Remember do not leave it to the last minute cause you do not want to disappoint your loved ones when what they would like is GONE....
Country Spuds
What could be simpler than baking a potato and topping it with left over spaghetti sauce, sauteed veggies and cheese. Sometimes there is just not quite enough sauce left over from spaghetti or chili, but this recipe helps to stretch it out into another meal.
Method: (bake one potato per person)
Wash potatoes. Using a fork, poke potatoes several times and wrap in paper towel and put in microwave until fork tender.
When done, spit in half, and place on a baking sheet.
Top with a tbsp of butter and/or sour cream. (optional)
Top with one of the following suggested toppings, cover with grated cheese and broil until cheese is bubbly (about 3 minutes) and serve with a salad.
