My kitchen is being remodeled. What should I make for dinner?
I only have a microwave right now and I'm tired of eating out. What can I get from the grocery store and prepare in the microwave? ...other than TV dinners...

antipasto is amazing and this recipe doesn't call for any heat
salad greens
3 hard-boiled eggs, halved (you can get them from your grocer's salad bar)
6 slices prosciutto ham
12 marinated artichoke hearts
1 15 oz. jae marinated garbanzo beans
3 whole pimentos
arrange greens on salad plates. on each plate, place half a hard-boiled egg, 1 slice prosciutto, 2 artichoke hearts, a spoonfull of garbanzo beans and half a pimento. this recipe serves 6, so cut down amount in half to make less.
i thought of one more... italian chicken salad (assuming you have a fridge)
1 lb. of chicken cooled (buy a rotisserie chicken and strip it)
1/4 lb. salami, cut into thin strips
1/4 lb. mozzarella, cut into thin strips
4 cups bite size pieces of lettuce
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small red onion, sliced & seperated into rings
2/3 cup small pitted olives
1 2-ounce can anchovies, drained (i don't prefer them, but some do)
garlic dressing:
2 T. grated parmesan cheese
3 T. olive oil
2 T. red wine vinegar
3/4 t. dry mustard
1/4 t pepper
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
toss dressing with lettuce, tomatoes, onion and olives. Arrange chicken, salami and cheese on lettuce and garnish with anchovies (optional) serves 6.

Reservations!
Try soups that can be prepare on microwave and meals that only require microwave to be prepared!
google microwave recipies and see what you can find or do you have a grill?
Do you still have your fridge working? If so, you could make a salad. Add chopped lunch meat or rotisserie chicken. You can also buy pre-cooked fajitas. Warm them in the microwave and put that on a salad and top with salsa. Lean Cuisine has some wonderful microwave meals. I like their pot roast and turkey dinners. You could microwave a potato and some frozen shredded bbq. You could also cook outdoors if you have a bbq pit. Grill hotdogs or steak. Even burgers. Good luck to you.
You have a few choices:
My number one choice would be grilling a steak or chicken, add a salad in a bag, heat up a potato in the microwave. (Pick the skin of the potato with a fork so excess steam can escape and cook 1 potato for about 3 to 5 minutes.
Make a chicken or tuna salad (use canned chicken or tuna).
Make a quesadilla in the microwave.
Make hot dogs. Microwave hot dogs in a bowl of water for 3 to 4 minutes. I like the hot dogs to be moist that is why I do it that way.
Look for the new food products in the grocery shelf that are microwavable. There are soups, macaroni and cheese, pasta dinners.
Stop at the deli and get baked chicken and salad. Leftover chicken can be used for making a chicken salad, or chicken sandwiches, or quesadillas the next day.
I would make a club sandwhich. Just microwave a few pieces of bacon till crispy to top to your sandwhich and your good to go.
steak and beans
