I have a setting on my microwave for potatoes. All I do is press it for the number of potatoes I have in there. I can't recall how long you'd do just one on it's own, but I'm sure you could find out online if you don't have that setting on yours. They're just as good as baked ones, just no oil used. We add a bit of butter or sour cream when we eat them. Yum. ;-) Lol, to microwave a potato, just stab it lightly, with a fork or knife, all over, and zap.

I'm impressed that you managed to do menus! Sounds like you've got plenty of great 'back up quick meals'. Yum. Never tried microwaving potatoes before. Wonder how that works? And yeah - the instant noodles are definitely good for a really quick easy one. :-) Heather: Wow. I’m impressed that you managed to do menus!

Yeah... it'll be interesting to know about the lives with home menus. :-) And, now you've made me curious about crispy chicken tacos. I've only really had beef tacos. Leigh: LOL.

In the hotter weather we do a lot of some kind of meat (chicken, fish, kebabs, etc), either, grilled, bbq or pan fried, tossed salad & microwaved potatos. Not too special, but I can cope with it on a really hot arvo. Hubby has also changed a lot in the things he can eat, due to his medications, etc. So, I've had to find other things he can eat. I'm kind of looking forward to the cooler weather because I'll be able to cook different things for a change. Those mia goreng noodles are a real hit around our place, too. Everyone can get those themselves. ;-) Hi Shai,

I wish I could do it too, it must make life so much easier. I am such a terrible cook, that doesn't help either. I am very much like you, just decide late in the day what to have depending on what I feel like eating. Quick and easy list is very similar, for the tacos we have become hooked on are the crispy chicken ones. I really envy all those who menu plan.

When I have people to cook for however it is a different story. I actually enjoy the planning portion if it involves someone other than myself :-) I’m not a big meal planner as it’s just me and the dog here.
