He Cooks - Lighter Twice Baked Potatoes

The year on Christmas Day we spent the day at my parent's house. (Like we've done every year since we've met). This year we were in charge of an appetizer, side and dessert. The side was the Hubs job and he decided to make twice baked potatoes, something he normally can't eat because of all the dairy, but he managed to alter enough for his picky stomach. I'm not gonna lie, he did a GREAT job on these - the were Taste-EEE!

Twice Baked Potatoes
Adapted from this recipe from Hungry Girl

Ingredients
5 medium sized baking potato

Olive Oil
3/4 cup reduced fat shredder Cheddar Cheese

3/4 cup Tofutti Sour Cream
1 oz. Fat Free Original Liquid Coffee-mate
Paprika, salt, pepper, parsley

1 - Rub oil olive on potato skins, poke holes with a fork and bake Potatoes at 350 for about 1 hr

2 - Peel the skin off the top side of the potato, scoop out the inside of the potato, leaving behind an empty potato "shell."

3 - Take steaming hot potato, add cheese, sour cream, Coffee-mate and a little salt & pepper. Mash it all together until the cheese melts and you're left with a creamy, cheesy mashed potato mixture.

4 - Place potato mixture back into the potato shell, sprinkle with paprika & parsley.

5 - Bake in a pre-heated 375 degree oven for 20-30 minutes or until top is nice and brown.

He Cooks - Zucchini Casserole

The Hubs also LOVES to cook and he is really helpful and makes dinner without me on nights I really need to work on homework. This week I have a CRAZY amount of homework, Boooo! So, the Hubs made us Zucchini Casserole (from Gina's WW Recipes) and tomato soup.

Ingredients
4 cups grated zucchini
1 cup bisquick
1 small onion, grated
3 egg whites, 1 whole egg
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
1 tsp parsley

Directions
1 - Preheat oven to 350°.

2 - Mix everything together in a bowl.

3 - Spray a pie dish or a casserole with Pam and pour mixture.

4 - Bake approximately 45 minutes, until golden brown.

5 - Put a toothpick in the center to test if it is done. If it comes out clean, it is ready.

Servings: 10-12 servings • Cooking Time: 45 minutes • Points: 2.5 ww points

The Hubs rubbed EVOO on the bottom of the pan because we don't have Pam. I think that is why this burned to the bottom of the dish, next time we will try Pam or margarine.
