The last time you shopped for groceries, each single item on your list had gone up significantly and you had to trim your list in an appropriate way. So what’s for dinner?

Rather than wait 45 minutes to an hour for an oven-baked potato, try the microwave baked potato. Some purists claim a microwave baked potato does not stand up to the cooker baked potato because the texture of the completed potato is a little different. Don’t believe it! A giant potato takes just eight to ten minutes in the microwave. Be certain it’s fully cooked – that is the trick to simulating the oven baked potato texture.

While your potato is cooking, assemble your dressings. Much like a salad, you can pile left-overs and gourmet goodies to make this meal both a totally mouth watering and healthful dinner. A slice of bacon or ham contributes protein. Butter is a prerequisite. A touch of grated cheese provides calcium. Do you have some parsley, chives or onions? Throw them into the mix. What about some cut olives? Your microwave baked potato is coming into maturity now. Look thru your left-overs, too frequently going to waste. What about that little bit of corn, begging to be used? Pile that on your burgeoning microwave baked potato meal. One mushroom, sliced and sauteed adds a gourmet touch. Hmm. What else? Aha! There’s a spoonful of sour cream. More calcium, with the added benefit of a tasty tasting topping. Your frig doubtless holds lots of bits of food that can complement your microwave baked potato meal. Herbs and spices can make this meal more than satisfying. The neutral flavor of the potato makes it an ideal partner for almost anything you would like to add.
