Okay...so my fiance, my son, and I, and soon our new baby...live in an apartment above my fiance's dad's business...until we save for a house. Okay...so the kitchen here has a frigde that does not hold very much, a microwave that isn't all that big, a toaster, a buffet range that takes about 2 hrs to boil water in, and a table top broiler...what I wanna know...is what are some foods that are easily cooked in a microwave...but is something that you won't get tired of eating...We would have a stove except the cost is high...even at used and rent to own places and it'd be too hard to get up here..according to my fiance.
There are many types of foods you can cook in a microwave. The first and most obvious of course are the ready-to-eat microwave meals in
every grocery's freezer section. Your best bet is to buy those when they go on sale and stock up then. For the most part you can cook any meat or vegetable in the microwave, though I would stay away from things like chicken with bones, I've never had good results with that. Also if you try to cook meat that's still frozen, it can sometime give off sparks, so I would definitely defrost before trying to cook them. Most boxed foods now come with details on how to cook them in the microwave.

1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 oz. can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup sour cream

Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, or until mixture thickens, stirring once during cooking. Pour over chicken and pineapple in baking dish. Cover with microwave safe waxed paper. Microwave on high for 4-7 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center, turning dish once during cooking time. Sprinkle grapes over chicken and microwave on high for 1 more minute.

Even if you're struggling with money, I would suggest buying a crockpot. They come in sizes up to 5 or 6 quarts, which is quite a good amount of food, and they're relatively cheap at about 25 dollars for all the time you'll get out of them, they're very well worth the money. I've had and used one for years, and I do lots of different foods with it. I use my crockpot at least once a week, sometimes almost every day of the week. If you do buy one, I suggest buying one with a removable crock-insert and one with an off, low, high, and warm option.
If you'd like some recipes for the crockpot, I have several very good ones, just email me!
