20 Things for the Lazy Chef to Cook!

Having a microwave is nearly as important as having a bed! Not just used for heating left over's or making hot chocolate! They are (or should be) the best friend of the lazy chef!



15 Things to Cook in a Micro wave

1. Quesadilla: Easy, chessey. Lay a tortilla down, sprinkle some cheese on it, micorwave. Add salsa if you're feeling extra creative.
2. Microwave Dinners: They can be the diet kind, the healthy kind, the made for large appetite kind. And they can be tasty.
3. Baked potatoes: Grab a potatoe. Wash it. Poke it a few times with a fork. Wrap it in a paper towel. Microwave it for a few minutes. You'll know when it's done when you can easily poke the fork past the centre.
4. Popcorn: The old reliable - perfect for a movie night in.
5. Pasta (and sauce): Take yourself off down to the shop and buy a microwave packet of pasta and sauce. Mr Dolmio can't make it any easier!
6. Porridge: Perfect for brekkie on those baltic mornings we seem to be having!
7. Soup: Can > Micorwave > Bing > Bowl > Mouth > Hmmmm
8. Frozen Veg: Get your 5 a day! Toss frozen veg in a bowl with a little water. Microwave until they're hot!
9. Nachos: Always perfect for a late night :) All you need is taytos & cheese (and anything extra you feel like)
10. Poached Eggs: Careful these can turn out rubbery if you leave them on too long.
11. Rashers: Grab a plate, put down several paper towls, lay down some rashers, and cook until done. Instant hang over cure!
12. Scrambled Eggs: Crack some eggs, put in a bowl - mixing with a fork, and cooking. And feel free to throw in some of those rashers you also cooked, too, for some extra pizazz.
13. Hot Chocolate: We all know how to make this one!
14. Tuna Melt: Make some tuna (tuna + mayonnaise = tuna), sprinkle some mozzarella cheese on it, and voila! Tuna Melt!
15. Who ever said microwave things had to be meals? Heat up a chocolate muffin - get a massive bowl of ice-cream and there you have it! One of the best deserts/pick me up's ever - Enjoy!

So there you have it! Tell all your mammies to relax - you are not fading away from lack of food!
