question- do you pre bake these or do they bake in the microwave?Β 

You can micro a whole potato in a wet paper towel for 3 mins or so usually and it will be cooked all the way through. This is what I do at home if I'm craving one.Β 

I've done this too. Works great or you can put it in a ziplock bag just be very careful when you open the bag. I learned that the hard way. Salad in a jar is easy too. You can make them several days ahead of time because the sealed jar will keep them fresh. You layer everything you want on a salad but make sure the dressing is the bottom layer. When your ready to eat just shake it and eat.

I don't prebake mine. I do pierce (with a knife) the potato in about three places all the way through and at 90 degree angles so that basically it's pierced on each "side". I also have wrapped them in saran wrap, but like the taste better when they are pierced. I like mine a little crunchy and sometimes the saran wrap makes them soggy if over cooked. I cook mine two to three minutes according to size, turn them over 180 degrees and bake two to three more minutes according to size, then check and continue at one minute intervals if necessary. Microwave strength will determine cooking time as well.

Smoothies ! I've replaced my lunch with smoothies lately and with the right ingrediants they are very filling and HEALTHY!
A blender cup is amazing and will keep your smoothie blended . I got a Ninja smoothie maker for $30 and its the best purchase ever. Hubby gets one sent with him every day to work for breakfast.

Β Chicken ceasar wraps are yummy also. All you need is a tortilla , chicken breast (grilled or breaded) , lettuce , dressing and some grated parmesan .

Β What kind of tortilla do you use? Tortillas are usually high in carbs.
