It's nice to bake one extra potato so they can be extra-stuffed, and as insurance against breaking one of the shells.
| Ingredients | Step |
|---|---|
| Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. | |
| 4 baking potatoes, scrubbed | Bake until tender -- ideally in oven so the skins firm up, but microwave is fine too. If in microwave and they are normal sized, stab all over with a fork then microwave it for 5 minutes, flip, and 5 minutes more. |
| ½ c. milk 1 t. Dijon ¾ c. cheddar, grated ½ t. salt ¼ t. pepper |
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh. Mash it all together. Maybe whip until light & fluffy. Spoon into reserved skins. |
| ¼ c. cheddar, grated | Sprinkle. |
| Bake another 10 minutes at 400 degrees, to brown the tops. |

A good amount of work, but very festive.
| Ingredients | Step |

| ⅓ c. brown basmati | Cook the basmati (perhaps soaked, then boiled with ⅔ c. water, then lid added to steam over simmer for 30 minutes until the water is gone, then let stand). |
| ½ c. wild rice | Cook the wild rice (perhaps boiled 45-60 minutes with 1½ c. water). |
| ½ c. sushi rice | Cook the sushi rice (perhaps rinsed well, then boiling ½ c. water without rice, then adding rice and stirring for 2-3 minutes, then simmering with lid for 10-15 minutes, then let stand). |
| 1½ medium onion, diced | Saute. |
| 1 c. carrot, diced 4-5 stalks celery, diced |

Stir in and saute a bit longer. Then remove vegetables from skillet. |
| 8 oz. tempeh | Crumble into the now-empty skillet. Cook over high heat until golden brown. Maybe start with a splash of water to get some steaming too. When cooked, stir the vegetables back in and heat through. |
| balsamic vinegar soy sauce/tamari |
