From busy moms to college students, we all need to cook in the microwave on occasion. A quick internet search shows tons (and tons) of mug cake recipes in the microwave, but finding real meals can be a bit difficult! So, I have pulled together my top picks for 10 meals to cook in a microwave. These will help you get dinner on the table faster (and without heating up the kitchen). Or, if you are living in a dorm or apartment, these will help you save a bit of money! Instead of dining out,or eating roman noodles, you can have a real meal – even without a real kitchen!

On those rare nights when I have only myself to cook for I love the microwave. It cuts down on cleanup and overall mess in the kitchen.
All the recipes sound delicious. Thanks for sharing all the links.
I really don’t use my microwave to do much more than heat up left overs. I didn’t know there were that many things you could cook in it. This is great for our super busy week night dinners.

These are great options for those nights when you just don’t feel like making a big fuss in the kitchen but it looks like you aren’t missing out on flavor. I actually have a friend who hasn’t had a stove in 28 years so he would probably like this post!

No this is speaking my language! If I can cook it in less than five minutes I am a happy camper. I’ve never been much of a chef I just don’t enjoy it.
Passing this on to my daughter!
She just moved out and is still trying to figure out how to cook and these recipes would be perfect for her!
This is my kind of cooking! Thank you for sharing! I think I might try one of these tonight.
Yes yes yes! Welcome to my world of busy nights of sports, drama class, and carpooling craziness. I love all of these quick microwave ideas. Thanks
I don’t usually cook in my microwave, but I do use it a lot to heat things up. It comes in real handy sometimes.
Wow. These recipes look good. I’m going to have to take my time and look through each one to see what my son will eat.
