Ham & Veggie Stuffed Baked Potato

/

Twin Sis and I enjoy cooking, although that hasn’t always been the case… at least for me. In college we lived together in a townhome, and, most nights we either picked up food or Twin Sis handled the meal while I helped.

I got into blogging in college and we decided to begin a cooking blog together called Twin Cookin’. That lasted a while until we graduated and moved out. However, when I began living on my own, I started to enjoy cooking more and more. It is therapeutic for me. I’m the type of cook that loves to follow recipes and get nervous veering away from ingredients and flavors someone else has already figured out worked well together.

Twin Sis, on the other hand, loves to experiment with new flavors. In an effort to bring us back to our Twin Cookin’ roots, I’ve asked her to develop recipes to share on my blog. So here’s the first of many for you guys!
