AA> stove-top or oven cooking, the mw is great for pork chops, skinless
AA> chicken, scrambled eggs, yams, to name just the top 4 things I fully
AA> cook in a mw oven.
I don't hate the microwave, I grew up with a lot of nuked foods as it
was a new gadget to my family. I just find it easier to not use it as
when I learned how to cook I learned on the stove / grill / oven.
I do use it for some duties almost daily though.
AA> higher doses of sodium. Compliment your soup with plenty of
AA> vegetables or even add your own to the soup.
While this isn't the discussion I make all my own soups and freeze in
freezer bag servings. Feel like a bowl of this or that, grab and nuke
away! ;)
AA> For the pasta preference, use gluten-free pasta or rice pasta. Then
AA> just flavour it up with high grade olive oil and spices + veggies,
AA> or eggs or bits of meat.
Due to Andrea being celiac we have GF pasta only. The boxed stuff is
much better now then it was 10 years ago! I've even made my own a
time or two.
AA> in a container. But now I find that just pouring the olive oil over
AA> the food, sprinkle a favorite spice combo, a bit of sea salt, or a
AA> mustard or drizzle some balsamic vinegar works great - and there is
AA> no extra container to wash.
This is pretty much what I do as well. I try to eat a lot of olive
oil though as it helps keep my joints moving.
