Over the weekend, I made baked potatoes as a side dish for dinner. I cannot remember the last time I made a baked potato, ate a baked potato or even thought about a baked potato. My parents were coming over for dinner and I did not have a lot of active prep time, though throwing things in the oven to cook without me worked well, thus baked potatoes.
The baked potato made me so happy! I don't put anything fancy on top of it, not even butter or sour cream, just a little salt. Something so simple tasted so good. I have been trying to cook such complex meals lately I have forgotten the joys of simple food. I need to remind myself that I don't need to cook exotic flavors or fifty ingredients into a dish to make it work. I do not need to compensate for the lack of meat. Meatless food is delicious and healthy just as it is. Meals can be satisfying in their simplicity.
Up next: peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
