Twice Baked Potatoes

I made Twice Baked Potatoes for dinner last night, Beau said that they were possibly his favorite food ever! (I didn't get to take a picture of them)

Ingredients
  • 4 large russet potatoes, about a pound each
  • Pam
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 Tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 packet Onion Soup mix
  • 1 cup Cheese
  • 1 small can Chopped Green Chillies
  • 1 small can Sliced Olives
1. Bake the Potatoes
 Turn the oven to 400 degrees. Scrub the potatoes clean. Poke the tines of the fork into the potato several times. Spray the potato with Pam. Place directly onto the top or middle rack of the oven.  Cook about 1 hour and 15 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through.

2. Allow the potatoes to get cool to the touch. Slice the potato in half, Use a spoon to scoop out the inside of the potato, forming a potato "canoe" leave about 1/4" of the potato on the skin.

3. Place the scooped out potato inside the sour cream, milk, and butter in a large bowl. Mash with a potoato masher.  Mix in the onion soup mix, cheese, green chillies, olives into the bowl.

4. Spoon the potatoe mixture back into the potato shells.

5. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place potatoes onto cookie sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until heated through.

Gullivers Cream Corn


This is my families staple recipe. We eat it each year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is divine. I love the taste of the creamy corn on my taste buds. It is the BEST!

2 20oz packages frozen corn kernels, thawed
8oz 1/2 pint whipping cream
8oz 1/2 pint whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
6 teaspoon sugar
Pinch of white or cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Combine all ingredients except the last two in a pot and bring to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes. Blend butter with flour, add to corn, mix well and remove from heat.
