Post-Valentine's Day

Although Valentine’s Day was yesterday, it’s never too late to show someone you care about them.  One of the best ways to express your appreciation for loved ones is with the gift of fresh, local, preservative-free food!  It just so happens that City Greens is open today from 10-5 at 1202 South Boyle to help you out. 

This week we have potatoes!  If you're in a pinch for a quick side dish, here's a super fast way to prepare a baked potato - the perfect side dish to some meatloaf featuring City Greens' ground beef!

Super Fast Baked Potato

Ingredients

  • 1 large potato
  • 1 teaspoon butter or margarine
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 teaspoons sour cream 
Preparation
  1. Scrub the potato, then prick several times with the tines of a fork.  Place on a microwave-safe plate.
  2. Cook on full power in the microwave for 5 minutes.  Turn over, and cook for 5 more minutes.  When the potato is soft, remove from the microwave, and cut in half lengthwise.  Season with salt and pepper, and mash up the inside a little using a fork.  Top the open sides with butter and with sour cream.
  3. For a healthier, local twist, substitute Windcrest Dairy's plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
