Brunch Spud Boats Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
3 medium baking potatoes, scrubbed
1 no-stick cooking spray
2 tbsp olive oil
3 oz chopped lean ham or canadian bacon
1/3 cup diced zucchini
1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
3 green onions, with tops, sliced
6 eggs, beaten
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 salsa for serving
Recipe Preparation
To make potato shells: Prick potatoes with a fork and bake in a
microwave oven on a plate on high (100 percent) 7 to 11 minutes,
rotating after 3 minutes, until tender when pierced with a knife. Or
bake in a conventional oven at 450 degrees 50 to 60 minutes. They
should be soft but firm enough to dice.
Preheat oven to broil. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out
pulp, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Dice scooped-out potato. Spray both
sides of potato shell with cooking spray. Place right side up on a
baking sheet and broil until edges are browned and top is slightly
crisp but not dry, 3 to 4 minutes. (Shells may be refrigerated
overnight. Refrigerate cooked potato separately. Bring both to room
temperature before filling.)
To make filling: Preheat oven to 500 degrees. In a large skillet,
preferably non-stick, over high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil until
hot. Saute potato pulp, turning with a spatula until they begin to
turn golden, about 5 minutes, adding more oil if needed. Stir in ham,
zucchini and red pepper and saute, stirring, until vegetables soften
slightly, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, reduce heat to medium-low, and
cook, stirring lightly, until very loosely set. Stir in green onions.
Fill potato shells and sprinkle tops with cheese, if desired. Place
potatoes on baking sheet and bake 5 minutes, or until eggs are set
and cheese melts. Serve with salsa, if desired.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easyWhen deciding on a weight loss program, it is essential to try to restrict your intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
Some lower carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Make low carbohydrate breadcrumbs for deep fried foods. Although you can probably buy low carbohydrate breadcrumbs, you may make them yourself by simply using low carb bread. Simply toast the low carbohydrate bread in a gas or electric oven on a baking tray. Once it is well toasted, grind it up in the food processor using a coarse blade. Store in a tupperware container.
Carotenoid foods
(includes paprika, rose hip puree and tomato ketchup)
These colorful healthy superfoods have high levels of carotenes thought to play a role in minimizing the chances of contracting, particularly of the esophagus. A good number also have a low calorie count, so should be included in your diet system.
