Microwave Recipes

When you say dessert, it doesn't always have to be sweet. I like mine with a little kick of variety and flavor, something that will make it all the more special. So last Sunday, after serving dinner, I tried a new microwave recipe called Lemon Pineapple Creme. It tasted so good that even my friends said that I should quit my job and try baking instead. I don't know if that would be possible for the time being, but at least, let me share with you the easy steps to having a sumptuous dessert.

3/4 cup sugar, divided
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 can (8 ounce) crushed pineapple, undrained
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 eggs, separated
1 package (3 ounce) cream cheese, cubed

Use 1/2 cup sugar and mix it with 2/3 cup water with stirred cornstarch and pineapple. For 4 to 5 minutes, place it on the microwave set on HI. Wait until mixture boils and stir it twice while cooking. Add the juice, lemon peel and egg yolks and mix it with the cream cheese. Then cook it on medium low for 1 minute, and keep it uncovered. Use electric mixer to blend in the cream cheese. Let it cool while you start on beating the egg whites. When already frothy, slowly add 1/4 cup sugar. Fold it into a pudding and spoon some on desert dishes. Refrigerate it for a while before you serve your famous baking masterpiece of Lemon Pineapple Creme.

Chocolates, they're sweet and yummy. But most of all, they remind us of innocent pleasure and of being a child once in our life. So for my next cooking adventure, I chose to do a Chocolate Kiss for my kid's delight and as a gift for my wife on our anniversary. I used to buy her chocolates but now, I'm making her one. I just hope this will sweep her off her feet, the way I used to make her feel.

1 pound powdered sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

In a 2 quart casserole, blend sugar, cocoa, butter, and milk. Place it on the microwave and turn it on high for 2 minutes. Then, mix well and pour into a buttered funnel. Don't forget to put a foil over the spout and use a rubber band to seal. Next, in a glass tumbler, put the funnel in. Place it inside the freezer to cool. And finally, when it's cold, set it with a foil to wrap over the big kiss. Now, that's a perfect family treat. But easy on the chocolates, take care of your lovely figure.

I never thought about food when my mom asked me to bite a tiger. Did she really mean it? Yes. She wanted me to know the taste of a tiger. She perfectly prepared it with here Amana microwave oven. "What, she cooked a tiger in it?" Yes again. She made a delicious microwave tiger butter for me, and I ate all its pieces. How did she do that? Let me share it.

Prepare: 211

16 ounces of chopped white chocolate
3/4 cup of crunchy peanut butter
1 cup of melted milk chocolate chips

This is how to create a tiger in your plate. Put and spread the butter in 15x10 inches pan, and set aside. Then, in separate microwaveable bowl, put the white chocolate, and melt it in your microwave at HIGH level. Stir from time to time to cook it evenly. Then, add the peanut butter and mix with the melted white chocolate. Stir again until they are mixed well.

Then, spread the mixture into your prepared pan, and sprinkle your milk chocolate chips. And this is how you will create the tiger; thoroughly stir the mixture until it will create a marbled effect (looks like a tiger). When you get your desired tiger skin, let it stand until it's totally ready to bite.

Just by the name of it anyone would easily suspect that this is a fine expensive recipe. But I'm sure you will be surprised as I was if you hear that this is only cooked using only a microwave oven. Anybody can prepare this Turkey Patties with Honey Cranberry Sauce.

In high level, cook the meatballs in the microwave oven for about 4 to 6 minutes. Stir the meatballs occasionally. Then, rotate the dish once in a while so cook your meatballs evenly.

Serve it with spaghetti or toasted bread. Try it.

I have just moved into my new pad. This means that I still do not have enough cooking equipment to help me with my kitchen needs. My mom even drops by every evening just to bring me a decent dinner. Thanks to my boyfriend, who finally got me a microwave oven, I can reheat ready to eat foods. One night when I was really sick to get up and prepare a meal, my beau prepared a steaming French onion soup, perfect for my nasty colds. When I asked him how he cooked it since I don't even have a pot to cook soup on, he said he used the microwave to prepare it. Here's how he prepared the soup:

First he combined the butter and olive oil in one microwave bowl and heat it on high for one minute until the butter finally melted. Next, he stirred in pepper and onions and he, again, put into the microwave, uncovered, for about eight to ten minutes, until onions wilted. Afterwards, he then stirred in the sugar with the onions, then microwave for another eight to ten minutes.

Then, he combined the beef stock, water, and wine into the onions and he put it inside the microwave, again, until it is boiling. Finally, he poured the soup into a bowl and he topped it with toasts. He also sprinkled the soup with cheese, then cook it in the microwave on high for one minute until the cheese melted.

I must admit it. My family really loves raisins. I usually buy boxes of raisins, and include them in my different home-made recipes. These sweet black tidbits are the craze of the my kids. Especially when I make my Double Raisin Bread Pudding, my kids stay at the kitchen more than two hours just to eat their breads. I learned this delicious microwave oven recipe from an old friend. Would you like to try this at home, too? Here's how.

You will need:

Start your work by heating your oven to 350 Fahrenheit. In a baking dish, melt the butter until the dish becomes greasy. Then, mix the cinnamon bread cubes and raisins in the baking dish, and set aside. In a separate baking dish, combine the rest of ingredients. Blend well all remaining ingredients until they mix up together.

Pour over the combined bread and raisins into the mixture, and set aside for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until they mix with the prepared mixture. Then, bake it but uncovered for about 50 minutes. It is done if the you will insert a knife in the center, and it comes out unstained; or it's already turned into golden brown. Serve it warm, with cold ice cream or fruit juice.

Who can get enough of chocolates? No one, I say. With so many gourmet chocolate products and food needing chocolate ingredients, the time has come to cut the preparation in half and make chocolate as easy as 1, 2, 3.

1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/8 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of chopped walnuts


Now, put the choco and milk in a microwaveable bowl and cook on high for a couple of minutes. Make sure to stir now and then after the first minuted has passed so that the choco becomes liquid smooth. When the choco has melted, mix in the rest of the ingredients: walnuts, salt, and vanilla. Then, spread the mixture into a pan and place in refrigerator for two hours. Let it cool and freeze until firm, but of course, we want to munch on something chewy so make sure it's not as hard as bricks. After that, it's ready to be cut and served. How's that, huh? Did I not tell you it's easy? It's just simple and perfect snacks for people on the go, and I am not exaggerating.

Then, spread the mixture in the buttered microwave bowl. Scatter the chocolate bits as well as the nuts to decorate the top.

I like the taste of beef. Although I admit that beef has a saturated fat, it is a good source of protein, too. That is why; if you I will choose between pork and beef, I choose the latter. And, if you are a beef-meal lover like me, you should have to taste the Italian Meatballs recipe. This is an easy-to-cook microwave dish that every one in your family will surely love.

The ingredients will be:

1 lb ground beef
3 slices of bread (ncluding the crusts, cut the bread into small parts)
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup dried parsley
1/2 tablespoon dried basil
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

In a big bowl, mix the egg, bread, and milk, then stir them until these ingredients combine. Set aside for at least 15 minutes. Then, smash up the mixture using a fork for smoother paste. Then, include all the remaining seasonings, including the parmesan cheese. Mix thorougly. Then, add the ground beef, and mix all together until the beef combine with the mixture. Then, form the paste into balls (meatballs) according to your desired size. Place them into a greased baking sheet.

In a preheated oven, about 400 degree, bake the balls for about 20 minutes. Every 10 minutes, turn them over. Remove the excessive water with a table tissue or paper towel, then, place them in a large microwaveable glass bowl. For a delicious spaghetti meatball, put 2 cups of Italian spaghetti sauce in the glass bowl, and stir again until the sauce has covered the meatballs. Then, cover the bowl using a paper towel, and put in the microwave for another 5 minutes. Stir occassionally, and put the microwave on low temperature for 20 minutes more; until it's cook.

Macaroni and cheese is probably one of the most popular yummy meals that can be cooked in the microwave. I think the reason for this is that it is so easy and simple to prepare. Well, aside from that, it is also very delicious that you can eat it during breakfast, lunch, or even dinner.







To be able to prepare this delicious food, the ingredients you will use are:

-Four cups of elbow macaroni, cooked
-Four tablespoons of margarine or butter
-Two cups of American cheese or milk cheddar, grated
-Three-fourths cups of milk
-Half a teaspoon of salt
-One-eighths teaspoon of pepper
-Half a cup of bread crumbs, fine and dry

Put the cooked macaroni and two tablespoons of butter in your three-quart casserole and mix them well. Make sure that you stir it well so that the butter will mix with the macaroni. After that, you can now mix the other ingredients milk, cheese, salt, and pepper.

When all the ingredients are well-mixed, cover the casserole tightly so that you can cook inside the microwave oven for at least 12 minutes. Before that, make sure that you set your kitchen gadget on medium so that the heat is enough for your dish. You can only remove your dish from the microwave oven when the milk is thick and the cheese has really melted.

The next step is to put the other two tablespoons of butter in your glass measuring cup. Cook it on high for a minimum of 35 seconds and a maximum of one minute so that it would melt. Top the breadcrumbs and sprinkle on your macaroni. Wait for two minutes before you serve it.

Poached shrimp is one of the most delicious seafood recipes I have ever eaten in my entire life. Its richness and taste is unlike any food I have ever encountered. Once you have the chance of tasting this delicious food, the aroma and savor would not leave your mouth.

Get a microwavable container that is about nine or ten inches. This is where you can mix all of the ingredients garlic, onions, bay leaf, lemon juice, celery seeds, etc. Then, add the steamed shrimps in the mixture and stir them well. Make sure that the shrimps are coated with the other ingredients. After that, push the seafoods on the edge of the dish.

Cover the dish tightly before you cook it in the microwave for two-and-a-half to six-and-a-half minutes. If you are not able to time it, just wait until the shrimps are already pink. Mix it for a while so that the all the shrimps will be well-cooked. You can now serve it to your guests and friends when you have parties in your dwelling place.

I love using my microwave oven to heat or cook my food. It is just so easy and simple to use, yet it can cook various dishes such as delicious seafood recipes, baked pastries, desserts, pastas, and a whole lot more. One of my most favorite dishes to cook in my hi-tech gadget is the Chicken Parmesan.

If you are interested to cook this meal for you family, the ingredients you will need are:

-Four chicken breasts, boneless and skinless (it should be pounded until only one-fourth inch)
-One-half cup of parmesan cheese
-One-and-a-half cup of bread crumbs
-Two eggs
-One-fourth cup of oil
-One-fourth cup of water
-Two cups of spaghetti sauce
-Two cups of Mozarelle cheese, shredded

In a microwavable safe pan, put the oil. The next steps are to combine water and eggs by beating them together and mix the parmesan cheese with bread crumbs. After that, place the chicken in your egg mixture and cover it with bread crumbs. Put it on the cooking pan and drizzle the oil left on the chicken.

Cook both sides of the chicken inside your microwave oven for two-and-a-half minutes. Place the saucy spaghetti on it and heat for four-and-a-half minutes more and put the cheese. You can now place a plastic wrap on it and melt the cheese.

For you to easily cook this healthy and nutritious meal, the ingredients you will need are:











-three-fourths pound of beef, ground
-one garlic clove, finely chopped
-one tomato can, drained
-half a teaspoon of salt
-half a cup of cheddar cheese
-two tablespoons of onion, chopped
-one can of kernel corn, whole
-12 olives
-two teaspoons of chili powder
-one egg
-half a cup of corn meal, yellow
-a little bit of paprika

When you have gathered all the needed ingredients, the first thing you should do is mix the onions, garlics, and beef on the caserole. Put a cover on it before you place it inside the microwave. Heat it for about two minutes with the oven set up on 100 percent high. You can already remove the excess fat when the beef has already turned brown. Now, you can add the tomatoes, olives, powdered chili, corn, and the salt. Heat it again with the use of the microwave for four to six minutes before you stir it.

In another bowl, break the egg and beat it until it is fluffy. Add the corn meal mixed with the small amount of tomato juice you didn't drain. This mixture will be added to the meat. After that, you can now add the cheese and the paprika.

Just what exactly is a gouda? It's a type of cheese that tastes a bit nutty when it's quite young, and has a tangy nuance when aged. Gouda is served in many gourmet restaurants in downtown New York. This delicious gourmet cheese is imported mostly from European countries, notably from Holland, France and Switzerland.

So if you'd like to eat something gourmet out of your home microwave, you can try mixing up your sandwich with Tomato Gouda Fondue. This recipe is so savory that you will relish it with your baguette up to the last drop. All you'll need is gouda cheese, a couple of Roma tomatoes, and finely chopped basil leaves.

Gouda is semi-soft so you can scoop it out of the shell and then set the shell aside. Then mix this cheese with your sliced Roma tomatoes and basil leaves. Set your microwave to High and cook the fondue in it for a minute. Stir it every now and then until the cheese begins to bubble. When the fondue is done, pour it into the gouda shell and serve it hot with your baguette.

Here's one that you would love to go home to every day (if you love microwave cooking). The name of the recipe is "Microwave Beef Pie." The important ingredients are ground beef, chili powder, yellow corn, whole kernel corn and olives. Of course, the usual staples of tomatoes, chopped onion and shredded cheddar cheese remain.

Just crumble the ground beef in a casserole and throw in the onion and garlic. Microwave on high until beef is almost pink and cook, then stir in tomatoes, chili powder, and salt. Microwave again until hot, then repeat stirring. Prepare the tomato mixture, pour over meat dish, sprinkle paprika and cheese, and then enjoy your restaurant quality dish. Bon appetit!

Last night, I decided to have a neighbor visit because my television is having a hard time functioning. When I went inside my neighbor's house I was really intrigued by the smell coming from the kitchen. I know it was seafood and something tells me that I am about to eat a lot.

Then, I was invited to have dinner and I could not resist the temptation. When the microwave oven was opened, I was surprised to see a fish covered with mushroom sauce. It was the first that I have encountered such dish. Undeniably, the taste was as heavenly as the smell.
