Fast and easy and quite delicious, this is my daughter's favorite and a frequent request. Fortunately, I almost always have the ingredients in the pantry and it takes no time at all to throw together! We take this to every sort of kid-oriented activity for which we need to provide a treat. It makes a nice change from cookies and brownies and always disappears fast. -- posted by GSCook

Creamy Potato and Bacon Soup.

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 15:55:16 -0400

Quite simple, not alot of work involved. Produces a wonderful soup full of flavour! I made this recipe a few weeks ago on a very cold day. As for preperation of the bacon, you can choose to cook it in the stock pot, leaving behind as much fat as possible for flavour, and add back after cooking of the rest of the soup, or do as I've suggested with the microwave. I suggested the microwave because making the bacon cripsy is much easier this way. -- posted by Ambien.

Cooking Pasta in the Microwave

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 10:32:49 -0400

This method is useful for cooking for a single serving or two of pasta. Ideally, use a 1 1/2-quart ceramic pot. According to "Microwave Cooking for One" by Marie T.

This is great to make at Thanksgiving...it tastes as good at room temperature as it does when it is hot, so you can move it off the stove to make room for more cooking!

Fall Harvest Smoothie

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:42:24 -0400

This recipe tastes like pumpkin pie in a glass! You will never know it is packed with veggies and fruits and "good for you stuff". Top with a little fat free whip cream for an extra-special desert. My teen-age daughter begs for this and sometimes we even heat it up for a thick soup. The key to this recipe is to make sure you use a blender/smoothie maker that has enough power to completely puree alll the ingredients; otherwise the squash will stay stringy. -- posted by RackeSRN

Microwaved Caramel Apples

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:51:15 -0400

I found this to be the quickest and easiest caramel apple recipe I have tried. I started out using 5 bags of caramels, and then added more as I needed. It really does make the operation much easier using lots of caramel, especially when you can cool and store the rest of the caramel to use in other things, or cut up with scissors and eat as a candy. -- posted by Sue L

Bring Me Your Head on a Platter! Cauliflower

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:56:25 -0400

OK just the Brain Food here! This is a take off of my Recipe #106251 using a different method to keep it looking like a brain for Halloween. Do take note all microwaves cook differently so take care when roasting not to over do. Oh by the way cauliflower is Brain food! A recent study done by McLean Hospital, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, suggests that taking a minimum of 500mg of citicoline supplements a day can help boost mental energy and efficacy. Citicoline, a natural substance found in all living cells, can also be ingested via cauliflowera source of choline, which is converted to citicoline in the brain! -- posted by ~Rita~

Knock off Boneless Wings for the Lunch Box

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:20:56 -0400

This is a quicky recipe that I came up with to take in my lunch box. Sort of like asian wings. Not gourmet, just something different for your lunch box. I take this with a serving of pre-cooked or leftover rice. Would probably be good over a salad or with steamed veggies too. The chicken tenders I use call for 5 as a serving size. Use the appropriate # of tenders for the serving size listed on the package. And you can mix the other ingredients in a dressing container. -- posted by MsSally

A1 Ultimate Jambalaya

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 10:05:01 -0500

I could live on this! Everybody loves this one, and agrees that its better than any Jambalaya they've ever ordered in a restaurant. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed I promise. The secret is the roasted red peppers and the butter. Don't be put off that the dish is finished in the microwave, it just ensures that there are no burnt pans to deal with later! The only other veg that work in this I find are sweetcorn or butternut squash/pumpkin cut into chunks and added just before it all goes in the microwave. Even my friends from Louisiana find it hard to accept that its perhaps even better (If not a little different) than they make. Enjoy! -- posted by robd16

Five Spice Chicken Wings

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:34:37 -0500

From the latest edition of Recipe+. I love five spice and chicken wings but unfortunately the only one in the family to like wings so will probably make with drumsticks and thighs and allow a longer cooking time. When removing tips from wings, bag and freeze and when you have enough they are great to make stock with. The recipe can be doubled and taken up to the end of step 1, bag and freeze (for up to 3 months), defrost in refrigerate overnight and continue from step 2. Have not included marinating time in the times. -- posted by I'mPat

Some people uses sour cream and some people don't. Some uses evap. milk and some people dont. We werent exactly sure what would taste better and what would make the cake smooth or etc. So we came up with this! HOPE YOU ENJOY IT! You will need a Springform pan or if you dont have won, just use a 9inch round pan with foil paper. Make sure to wrap the whole pan with foil! As for toppings, you may use anything you like. Whipped cream Strawberries or blueberries or cherry or any fruits Strawberry or chocolate syrups. Any syrups to your liking. Almonds, walnuts, pecans...

1200 Watt Microwave Peanut Brittle

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:49:17 -0500

Bravo to Love2Eats Peanut Brittle in a Jiffy #58383 - it got me started, but with the adjustments for my higher powered microwave and some flavor changes I thought I should write my own recipe. I can not say how much Love2Eats note about having everything measured out and ready to go was a life saver. I use an 8 cup pyrex measuring bowl with a handle as this mixture bubbles up and gets very hot (bowl gets very hot too) - it is MOLTEN SUGAR- if your work area is not right next to your sink - have a bowl of ice water in case of burns. THIS RECIPE IS FOR A 1200 WATT MICROWAVE. Oh yeah, I sorta faked it on how many this will serve - it is habit forming. -- posted by Sandy in Dayton

I can only eat so much oatmeal and peanut butter toast without getting bored. I started making scrambled eggs in the microwave to break up the breakfast monotomy at work! I serve these alongside a piece of whole wheat toast and a glass of vegetable juice.

To make the tortilla cups use my Recipe #381215 The Weight Watchers cookbook calculates the calories to be 307. Zaars calculation is lower which would make the points value lower as well. I think the cooking spray might be counted in the calorie count by WW. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

Microwave Sweet Potato Bake

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 11:46:36 -0500

This is a dish my mother created. It is so easy, fast and always gets rave reviews from dinner guests! It is my favourite side-dish. It goes really well with fish or any other white meat. I have always made this by eye, so the measurements are a rough estimate. (Preperation time excludes steaming of the sweet potatoes.) -- posted by Mandy-H

Found this in a Gooseberry Patch cookbook. Watch out though you can't just eat one. :) I put 3 minutes as the cook time but just keep an eye on it since microwave cook times may vary. -- posted by Chef #438673

I have seen a few variations on this recipe from Kraft but this one is pretty easy and yummy as I love ketchup and mustard!! I serve with a buttered slice of bread and either sliced tomatoes or SteamFresh green beans for the side dish. -- posted by ND_Dawn

Food Network Nuevo Latino Chipotle Beef

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 10:07:00 -0500

I do the beef stew part in a crockpot instead of stockpot in the oven. I also steam the butternut squash in the microwave, but you can follow the recipe the way Food Network's Challenge winner described below. I used chipotle peppers in adobo sauce instead of ground chipotle,too. -- posted by janric

Perfect Microwave Oatmeal for One

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:25:16 -0500

I used to fix myself hot oatmeal every day, even when I was working. I guess I'm lazier now, and not willing to clean that pot day after day. SO, after much trial and error, I figured out how to do it right in the ce4ereal bowl, in the microwave. Pre-loading single servings -- everything but the water -- into snack-size zip bags make this an even quicker way to have my oatmeal any day I want it. -- posted by Meredith K.
