Garden Stuffed Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 2 large Russet baking potatoes
• 1 to 2 green onions (the white and part of the green), finely chopped
• 1/4 cup nonfat or light sour cream
• 1 tablespoon whipped butter or less-fat margarine
• Black pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian herb blend
• 1/2 cup reduced-fat, shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic (or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)
• 1 cup cooked, chopped broccoli florets

Preparation:
1. Microwave or oven-bake potatoes until tender (don't forgot to stab with a fork a few times before cooking). Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients (except broccoli) with a fork.
2. Carefully cut potatoes in half and scoop out the center, leaving about 1/2 inch of potato around the skin. Add the scooped-out potato and the broccoli pieces to the mixture in the bowl. Mix with fork, then spoon into potato halves.
3. Microwave each potato half on HIGH for about 1 minute or broil all the potato halves until lightly brown on top.
