Had our return flight not been delayed we would have arrived home in the early evening hours on May 25. We would have stopped to re-stock a few groceries needed after being away for three weeks. Instead we arrived home just after midnight on May 26 with no groceries and an empty fridge. The next day my husband picked up a few essentials like milk, potatoes, sour cream, and bread because quite frankly neither of us felt like doing a larger grocery shopping that day. Our first meal at home was a simple, easy and frugal meal.
I steamed red potatoes then topped the bite-sized pieces with cheddar cheese, sour cream, steamed broccoli, bacon pieces and fresh cut chives. The cheese, bacon and broccoli were from the freezer so only needed brief thawing although I did warm the bacon and broccoli slightly in the microwave. This really was a nice substitution for the traditional topped baked potato. It came in at the 15-minute meal mark and is so easy to assemble that a beginning cook would not have any problems putting it together. It is a rather frugal meal as well.

Now that's really interesting.
When I do baked potatoes in the summer, I just do them on the grill. :)
