As the weather cools, there’s nothing more comforting and nourishing than baked potatoes with vegetables. This recipe has a Cheesy Sauce which can be added or not. The potatoes and vegetables are perfect on their own. Also, did you know that green cruciferous foods like broccoli and cabbage eliminate excess estrogen and carcinogens preventing potential cancer growth? Add more of these vegetables to your diet by adding them to pasta dishes, roasting in the oven, or blending them in a smoothie.
Makes 6-8 Servings
8 medium red potatoes unpeeled, baked
2 1/2 c Cheesy Sauce (optional)
2 c sliced mushrooms
4 c broccoli, chopped
1 onion, coarsely chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 zucchini, unpeeled, and cut in 1/2-inch slices
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake potatoes in the oven until tender, about an hour. Sauté vegetables in 3 tablespoons of water until tender. Prepare the Cheesy Sauce. Cut potatoes in half, top with veggies and cheesy sauce. Serve warm.
