Why is there so much stuff??? The crazy packing marathon continues, and the same question keeps coming up…..repeatedly….why is there so much stuff? Therefore it is appropriate to share Stuffed Baked Potatoes with you. Get it? Stuff/Stuffed….I know, I crack myself up sometimes…..

I would have placed these delicious and adorably cute potato packages on a pretty platter…..but they have already been packed!!!

About 4:00 pm I realized that we needed something for dinner. Something that does not contain gluten/soy/corn/etc., so these Stuffed Baked Potatoes are perfect. {We’ll just pretend that Michelle can eat dairy, okay 😉 }

Garnish with green onions or parsley if desired and serve.

My son stopped by this afternoon to help us pack, then his girlfriend joined us after work…..and they brought back even more packing paper!! So far we have gone through 50 boxes, 3 rolls of packing tape, and 4 packages of packing paper……and we have only packed my food props!!

We did stop for a delicious dinner, drank some wine so we don’t have to pack it, and joked about how much stuff is still left to pack. All in all, it was an awesome day! 🙂
