A natural dish: Summery Stuffed Potato

Summery Stuffed Potato

I was asked to share some of my dishes on here. I tend to eat only veggies and seafood, no meats (as some of you may know) Since changing my diet, I have noticed that my skin is clearer, I'm not as sleepy and heavy feeling, and I have a lot more energy.

Here is what you will need....

Potatoes (I used Idaho Potato but if you have enough moolah for organic..even better)
Yellow and Green Jalapeno Peppers (pre-cut)
Black Olives (pre-cut)
White and Red Onions
Fresh Mushrooms (Pre-cut)
Sour Creme (All natural..sold at Krogers)
Parsley
Cheese (Shedding Cheddar and Mozzarella)
Salt
Pepper
Green Pepper
Olive oil
Broccoli (1 head)
Cauliflower (1 head)
Butter
Bacon Bits ( For those who eat meat)

1st Step

Pre-heat your oven 360 degrees

1 Step- Take and chop your mushrooms, cauliflower, red and white pepper, green pepper, and broccoli. Take you pan and add two table spoons of olive oil and turn the stove on low heat. In the pan, place the chopped veggies into the skillet and let simmer for 1 minute. You only want to lightly cook the veggies to retain the nutrients. Add a PINCH of salt, pepper, and parsley. To maintain moisture, use your skillet top or pan cover.

After a minute remove and place to the side to cool.

2nd Step- The Potato

2 Step- Take your potatoes, place them on a flat baking pan after a thorough washing. Cut a small slice in the middle of the potato at the top half. Do not cut it all the way open. This will help it cook. Place the potatoes in the oven for about 15 minutes. Make sure to periodically butter your potato to keep it from burning.

3rd Step- FLAVOR!! YUM

3 Step- (Optional but awesome) To add a little zing, I added yellow and green jalapenos to add a spicy and sweet tangy flavor. I also added black olives.

 4th Step-

4 Step- When your potatoes are done, take and slice open the baked potato. Place your shredded cheese in first so that it can melt. Then place in the all natural sour cream. Next, place in your mixed veggies, your jalapenos and black olives. You can add bacon bits (if you have people who eat meat) and parsley for added flavor.

I hope you enjoy. Its such a fun and summery dish to try. It beats meat and heavy meals.

Happy Burning!
