Potato Boats

Filling

• 4 Large Potatoes
• 1 cup of chedder cheese
• ¼ cup mayo
• ¼ c milk
• 1 egg
• ½ tsp salt
• Dash pepper

Topping

• ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup green onions (or chives)
• 4 slices of crumbled crispy fried bacon

When potatoes are cold scrape out the inside leaving the skin intact.  Combine with cheddar cheese (1c), mayo, milk, egg, salt and pepper and beat until fluffy.  Fill the potato skins with the mixture and cover with topping ingredients.  Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.


Rachel's Thoughts: A childhood and adulthood favorite!  Great to make the day before and just toss in the oven before dinner.

Coconut Rice

Replace half of the amount of water that the recipe calls for white coconut milk and cook as usual.  It is a good idea to keep a closer eye on this rice as it makes a nasty mess on the stove if it boils over and has a bit more of a tendency to burn.  Mixing in some unsweetened coconut after the rice is cooked is a nice addition. 

Buy the expensive coconut milk!  It's only $0.20 more and is WAY better!

Rachel's Experience: This is a great alternative to serving a side of normal white rice, we have really enjoyed this rice with a variety of curries as it adds nice flavor.
