Ever have one of those days when you just don’t want to make dinner, or even bother with take-out? Mondays can be those type of days for me. You know those types of Mondays when literally just about everything goes wrong? Well, that was today for me. My work that should have taken 2 hours has now drug into the 9th hour, and I just want to have this day over already.
On days like today, I usually just make breakfast for dinner, but my son is not a fan of brinner. It’s just plain wrong in his little mind, so I turn to other quick and satisfying treats to feed my family, like baked potatoes loaded with lots of cheese and veggies.
For these potatoes, I just microwaved them until done and then scooped out the centers and added with chopped broccoli and Kraft’s new Fresh Take in Cheddar Jack and Bacon. Kraft challenged several food bloggers with different flavors. And I still had an extra bag in my fridge since my last challenge. I also added a little milk to the mixture before spooning it back in the potatoes. You could also use sour cream and even add some green onions or chopped chives.
