It’s just two days before payday and your cupboard is looking pretty slim. The last time you shopped for groceries, each single item on your list had gone up substantially and you had to trim your list reasonably. So what’s for dinner? As the old chestnut goes, when times get tough, the tricky get going. Here’s an idea for dinner that meets all of your objectives. Tasty, filling, delicious and quick to fix. A single massive potato, bits of this and that and your microwave will supply a gratifying meal in just minutes.
The microwave baked potato provides the base for your dinner. Instead of wait 45 minutes to an hour for an oven-baked potato, try the microwave baked potato. Some purists claim that a microwave baked potato doesn’t stand up to the cooker baked potato as the texture of the finished potato is a little different. Do not accept it! A giant potato takes just eight to ten minutes in the microwave. Be certain it’s completely cooked - that’s the trick to simulating the cooker baked potato texture.
The microwave baked potato must be punctured with a fork all around, top, bottom and sides. This allows the potato to steam and cook just as its oven-baked counterpart.
While your potato is cooking, assemble your dressings. Very similar to a salad, you can pile left-overs and gourmet goodies to make this meal both a totally juicy and nutritious dinner.
A piece of bacon or ham contributes protein. Butter is a prerequisite. A bit of rasped 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 its own now. Look through 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, cut and sauteed adds a gourmet touch. Hmm. What else? Aha! There is a spoonful of sour cream. More calcium, with the added benefit of a tasty tasting topping.
Your frig probably holds lots of bits of food that can complement your microwave baked potato meal. herbs can make this meal more than satisfying. The neutral flavor of the potato makes it a perfect partner for virtually anything you wish to add.
So when you believe there’s zip to eat, get that potato out and build yourself a mouth watering meal. Your microwave makes it fast and your plausibly bare cupboard will fill in the blanks. Eat hearty!.
