Recipes: 2-good twice-baked potato; Upside Down Chocolate Cream Pie; Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Now doesn't that title sound delicious?? :)  Here they are (which, by the way, all were REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY good!)!! :)

2-good twice-baked potato


1 medium (8 oz) baking potato (I used a larger one, I think...but farmer's market doesn't grow any that small haha)
1 slice fat-free American cheese
1 ounce fat-free liquid non-dairy creamer (I used almond milk as I didn't have this ingredient)
salt, paprika and parsley, to taste (I also used black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Puncture potato in several places w/ a fork.  Peel the skin off the top of the potato and then cook potato in the microwave for 6-8 minutes.
Once potato is cool enough to handle, scoop out the insides, leaving behind an empty potato shell.  Set shell aside.
Place potato pulp in a small dish and then add cheese, creamer, and a little salt.  Mash it all together until the cheese melts, leaving a creamy, cheesy mashed potato mixture.
Place potato mixture back into the empty shell and sprinkle w/ paprika and parsley.
Place potato in a baking dish sprayed lightly w/ nonstick spray and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until top is nice and brown.

Makes1 serving.
