Stuffed Baked Potato

Serves: 1
Time: 70 minutes

My husband's metabolism and appetite is INSANE. He can eat and eat without gaining an ounce (lucky devil!). At times it can be difficult to fill him up, especially with healthy food. Enter the baked stuffed potato. It's relatively healthy and filling, plus it reheats well. I'll make a couple of potatoes over the weekend and we'll throw them in a lunch bag for a quick, satisfying meal.

 Ingredients
1 medium baking potato
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, cooked
1/2 cup broccoli (frozen or fresh), cooked
1 tablespoon scallions, chopped
1/8 cup vegan cheddar cheese
Dash salt
Dash pepper
Dash garlic powder
*Rice Milk-optional
*Earth Balance butter-optional

Directions
Bake the potato at 425° Fahrenheit for 45 to 60 minutes, or until done. Slice the potato in half and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. Scoop the insides of the potato into a small bowl, reserving the skin.

Add the spinach, broccoli, scallions, cheese and seasonings to the bowl. Add in rice milk and Earth balance butter, if using. Mash all of the items together.

Fill the potato skin with the mixture and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Serve warm.
