MaryLee's Healthy Foods and Easy Cooking - Jacket Potato

Hello again,

This is one of my favourite meals and it can not be simpler to do.

The old fashion Jacket Potato

Scrub the potato – now remember wanting to eat healthy and lose weight the size matters so a potato about the size of your fist should be enough.

Score or stab the potato bake in oven at 350 F or 180 C for approx. 1 hour. Or wrap in tin foil and put on the BBQ for about 1 hour.

Top with anything you wish such as baked beans, stewed tomatoes, tuna, tuna and sweet corn, grated cheese (low fat), cottage cheese, curry sauce, cabbage salad and so on.

It could not be easier and fun to try different toppings.

I always like to eat carbs and proteins together so if you are not using the tuna or cheese topping you may want to place a chicken breast or pork chop or steak on a baking tray and cook it with the potato in the oven or on the BBQ.

How simple is this and it takes no effort at all to do.
