Yesterday was Mark’s birthday…he’s finally as old as I am! Are you a cougar if you’re nine months older
than your husband? Hmmmmm…..
For every single birthday dinner I can remember, Mark has requested steak for dinner. He isn’t hard to please!
His choice this year was a big ol’ T-Bone. He’s so simple when it comes to special
dinners, just give him meat….preferably beef…preferably a steak…preferably a
BIG ASS STEAK! That’s exactly what he got.
His choice of sides? If
you go to the trouble of making a twice baked potato, he gets REALLY
happy! So I came up with a new version for
him with spinach and feta and green onions…kind of a Greek take on the
traditional stuffed potato....and he loved it! What
else to complete the meal? Crisp grilled fresh asparagus with
just a drizzle of lemon juice.
Yet another birthday gone by, celebrated in his very favorite way. He is happy as he can possibly be....okay, without winning the lottery.

Whoops!
Except I forgot to mention that NO birthday dinner for Mark is complete without a
BEER! Happy Birthday, Marky-pooh!
Spinach & Feta Twice-Baked Stuffed Potatoes
Makes 4
- 4 baking potatoes, baked
- 1 package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry, dry, dry!
- 4 green onions, sliced thinly, well into the green
- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons sour cream
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste - don't be stingy
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- Jane's Crazy Salt, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
Cut a thin slice off the top off each potato, lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the potato, leaving an 1/8" edge, into a bowl. Fluff the potato in the bowl and break up well. Add DRY spinach and onions - fluff again.
Add the cream, sour cream feta and seasonings. Mix well and spoon back into shells.*
Bake at 400 degrees until the tops are golden.
*There will be more filling than you can fit into the shells - put what's left into small buttered ramekins for another meal.
