Baked potatoes are pretty darn yummy. When I was a college student and just LEARNING what the term “busy” meant, I used to throw them in the microwave wrapped in a paper towel and throw some sour cream on it (if it wasn’t TOO sour yet) and some Mrs. Dash. You know, I haven’t tried “baking” a potato in the microwave in a while, I wonder if it really is as good as I used to think it was?? Or atleast even edible?? Hey, I was a poor college student and I didn’t have my amazing meal planning skills yet (see last post and prepare to be amazed)! Well, in any case, I do still think that a baked potato just on it’s own could almost pass as a meal itself…my husband would disagree, unless one of the toppings is a T-bone steak…so maybe it could be a good lunch? Anyway, here’s my top 10 for yummy baked potato toppings:

1. Butter (and lots of it, not little “pad” here!)
2. Sour cream
3. chili (PLEASE tell me you’ve tried this one!! Oh so good)
4. ranch (this one might not count, because I think ranch tastes good on anything)
5. sauteed mushrooms
6. Mrs. Dash (definitely still need the butter and/or sour cream with this one…but she adds a lot!)
7. broccoli & cheese (hey, what can I say? I am totally a health freak, right??)
8. just cheese…even better than broccoli and cheese (k, maybe not a health FREAK…)
9. bacon bits
10. a T-bone (you’re welcome, hunny)
