Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Carrots In Orange Basil Butter


vegetables, microwave

1 med. carrot *
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon butter or margarine
1 pinch orange peel **
1 pinch dried basil, crushed
1 snipped parsley (opt.)

* Carrot should be cut into Juilenne strips. ** Orange peel should be finely shredded. Place the carrot strips in a 10-ounce casserole. Sprinkle with water. Micro-cook, covered, on 100% power for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or just till the carrot strips are crisp-tender. Let stand, covered, while preparing butter mixture. For butter mixture, in a custard cup combine butter or margarine, orange peel, and basil. Micro-cook, uncovered, on 100% power for 15 to 30 seconds or till the butter or margarine is melted. Drain carrot strips. Drizzle butter mixture over carrot strips. Garnish with snipped parsley, if desired.
