This Microwave Baked Potatoes recipe makes soft and fluffy potatoes in just minutes! This is the easiest and fastest way to make baked potatoes.

Serve these potatoes with Baked Pork Chops or Skillet Chicken Thighs. You can also serve it with simple toppings as a light option for lunch or dinner.

I am a huge fan of potatoes. It’s one of those foods I could not give up, right next to bread. I have several recipes with this vegetable, starting with Lyonnaise potatoes (absolutely amazing!), to easy oven-roasted potatoes and potato salad. Now, I have a new way to quickly (we are talking less than 10 minutes!) make the best fluffy and delicious baked potatoes right in my microwave. Perfect for a last-minute side dish or lunch!

This Rice Pilaf is the easiest rice dish you can make! The rice is cooked in stock with sauteed vegetables and herbs. This flavorful dish is perfect for your holiday table.

This dish is perfect even for beginners and packed with flavor, just like my Chicken and Rice Soup or Chicken Fried Rice.

If you are familiar with the boxed rice pilaf, like Rice-O-Roni, then you will love this homemade version. You may be surprised how easy it is to make it from scratch. It’s a simple side dish but add chicken or ham and you can turn it into a meal. Perfect if you have Thanksgiving leftovers!

Creamed Corn Recipe

This easy Creamed Corn is made from scratch with just 5 ingredients. Simple, classic and delicious side dish for your holiday dinner!

This corn dish is so easy to make, just like my Fresh Corn Salad and the Sweet Corn Casserole. Perfect for fans of this vegetable!

We live in Kansas so corn is a staple in my kitchen. Whether it’s summer or winter, corn dishes appear on our table, especially during the holidays. This Creamed Corn is super quick to make, especially if you need a last-minute dish. I used canned corn because it is available all year round, but fresh or frozen works great too. My go-to half and half and cornstarch mixture makes this dish gluten-free and ensures the best texture.
