My husband is pre-diabetic and had to change his eating habits. He loves baked potatoes, and I had to replace the butter and toppings. It is none the less delicious and it accomplishes filling him up, without all the butter and fat.
Medium Sized Potato (Scrubbed clean and dryed)
Place in container of your choice, and place in microwave for 5 minutes.
Remove from microwave, cut in half, use a fork and mash the potato.
Spray with "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" to your liking, but not more than necessary to coat lightly.
Cut up blades of green onion and top potato with cuttings.
Sprinkle with Mrs. Dash of your choice
Add One and 1/2 tablespoons of your favorite salsa and enjoy!
If you have no health conditions, you can apply butter to your liking instead of the spray, add your favorite toppings, green onion and Mrs. Dash for a delicious lunch or light supper with a tossed green salad.
For a tasty treat, warm up a can of chili con carne and cover baked potato with chili, top with sourcream and onions. Delicious.
You can doctor up a baked potato with just about anything. Try for a delicious taste treat!
THE POTATO IDEA IS GREAT!! QUICK AND EASY AND FILLS YOU UP AS WELL. SOUNDS GOOD ADDING THE CHILI AND SOUR CREAM! WHICH IM A FAN OF. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN WILL BE CHECKING BACK FOR MORE GREAT RECIPIES.

Glad you like the recipe idea. Jack swears by the baked spud and whenever he's warming up his lunch, everyone want's to know what it is..... There are 2 new recipes on Squeakings, both of which are from my DASH Diet Book which can be found at Barnes and Noble. The diet is easy to follow, tasty and you don't get hungry between meals. I need to lose some weight and this book has been very helpful. Hope you try and like these 2 recipes, they're great! Thanks again for reading my blog...not many do and they are missing out on some good eat's! Talk to you later,
