1. Stab your well-scrubbed potato with your fork a few times. Be mean. Get the anger out. Then toss the potato on a plate and microwave for 5-8 minutes (7-10 for large potatoes)
2. While the potato cooks wash your veggies. Shred the carrot. Chop the broccoli fine. Cut the green onion or chives into small pieces.
3. Mix the shredded carrot and grated cheese together.
4. Take baked potato out of the microwave and cut in half. Layer on the cheese and carrots.
5. Add dollop of sour cream.
6. Top with broccoli and green onion. Add the bacon is you're a carnivore.
7. Add a healthy drink like ice water or cranberry juice and you have a well rounded meal in ten minutes or less. Enjoy!
Oh, yes, there's a potato under there. It's just conveniently buried under a salad. Warm, tasty, nutritious, and quick. That's all I want in a meal.
