Even the poorest college student with limited funds and facilities can have a super filling and nutritious meal!
Microwave a potato, add some black beans, cheeze sauce, olives, salsa, avocado and or whatever else your heart desires!
Potatoes are not only super filling and CHEAP but are packed with nutrients!

i LOVE the potassium count on potatoes (especially since i’m not a banana fan). we do these for dinner loaded with broccoli and whatever else is laying about in the fridge. killer post, Em!
I LOVE potatoes, and this is like my dream potato! I can’t wait to make one
