Twice Baked Potatoes

So last night I really wanted some potatoes. Generally starches aren't good while dieting but I think its worse to torture yourself by not having any at all. I found these great potatoes for only 2 points!!! I would recommend adding salt and pepper though.

Ingredients

3 large baking potatoes
1/2 cup fat free, reduced sodium chicken broth
1 cup 2% shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
1/3 cup thin green onion slices
1/4 cup Light sour cream
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp paprika

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.

2. Pierce potatoes in several places with tip of sharp knife. Bake 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until tender. Immediately cut potatoes in half, lengthwise; scoop out centers, leaving 1/4 inch thick shells.

3. Beat potato pulp, broth, 1/2 cup of the cheese, onions, sour cream and mustard with mixer until well blended. Spoon into shells; top with remaining cheese and paprika.

4. Bake 20 minutes or until heated through.

Sugar, The Bitter Truth

Ok so part of eating healthy is knowing what is bad for you. Here is a talk about sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Its pretty long but worth the knowledge.

Also something to keep in mind if you are trying to lose weight, the more chemicals your liver has to work out of your body the less time it will work to get the fat out of your body. When you can go fresh!!! It's easier on your body, tastes better and better for you.
