Terra’s Twice Baked Potatoes - All Is Well Health & Wellness Coaching With Terra Ayres

Last Saturday night, Darin and I decided to make a nice dinner and eat in the dining room. We typically don’t use the dining room when it’s just us, but going on 3 weeks of sheltering in place, we needed a change of scenery from the kitchen and tv!! Shaking up the routine a bit turned out to be a lot of fun!

I’ve made a non negotiable commitment to myself to use this unique time/pause and get my weight back to where I’m most comfortable. I can control very little of what’s going on out there or when my boys will be able to visit next, but I CAN control what I do with myself and this rare opportunity to have so much time at home. So although having a stay home “date night” sounded fun, I was not going to let it derail me from my plan. I was determined to have an awesome meal, with great wine AND eat healthily! Mission accomplished, I’m pleased to share!

I concocted the twice baked potato recipe below from bits and pieces of traditional twice baked potato recipes I found online. Both Darin and I really enjoyed them! And that’s very fortunate because when I used 3 baked potatoes, I was not thinking it was really 6 servings, rather than 3! With only 2 of us in the house, we have had some nice twice baked leftovers in the days following!

 

I also want to note…I prefer to use fat free cottage cheese in place of the fat free, plain Greek yogurt. It works really well for this recipe.  

Give them a try and let me know what you think!

All is well❤️

Ingredients   

  • 3 Baked potatoes
  • 1 cup Fat Free plain greek yogurt
  • 2 cups Steamed broccoli
  • 1 packet Ranch seasoning
  • 1.5 cups Fat Free shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions  

  • Cut each baked potato in half. Gently scoop out the center, leaving the skin intact and enough of the pulp to form a relatively sturdy "boat"
  • Mix baked potato pulp, fat free Greek yogurt and Ranch seasoning packet until fully blended. I used my Mix Master, which made it quite easy. I'm sure a hand mixer would work just fine. After the mixture is relatively smooth, stir in the steamed broccoli. I cut the broccoli fairly small before I steamed it. I added it and continued to mix with the Mix Master
  • Stuff each potato half as full as it will allow. I put all 6 potato halves in a Pyrex to help hold them together. Sprinkle each potato half evenly with shredded cheese
  • COVER the potatoes with foil and heat in the oven until warm....which for me was about 20 minutes on 350*. Once the potatoes are heated through, remove the foil to let the cheese brown up for about 5 more minutes.
  • Enjoy!
