Sneaky broccoli, mixed veggies, and tuna

Sneaky Veggies! Sometimes, I almost have to even fool myself. LOL I try to encourage myself to "play around" with food and therefore eat healthier. 

I cooked the rice and frozen veggies together in a rice cooker. I chopped usual onions, etc. to add to tuna. I also chopped a little bit of fresh broccoli to sneak in a little more nutrition.

Thank you for viewing my blog.

Microwave baked fish and potatoes, with sliced tomato

Microwave baked fish and potatoes, with sliced tomato. 
As you know, I am all about easy, fast cooking. I am not able to stand in the kitchen stirring things all day. Nothing against those that are interested in gourmet cooking, the longer route around.
I simply placed:
1 piece of fish in glass container 
1 or 2 white or red potatoes, cut in pieces and placed in same container as fish
Added some chopped some green onion and sweet, green pepper, and black pepper
 Topped the glass container with saran wrap (punch a few holes in saran wrap with a fork)
Bake in microwave for about 9 minutes
Test to see that fish flakes easily
Slice tomato, add pepper and other spices of your choice, and serve.
One thing I like about this is that it is not messy, using a lot of containers, and it is quick, easy, healthy (for me), and delicious.
Thank you for viewing my blog and please feel free to share.

Hot Dogs and Veggies Quickie Meal

Hot Dog Lunch--with veggies! Microwave cooking!
 Easy as pie, quick, and tastes great.
15 minutes from start to finish--includes the 9 minutes cooking time, too. Oh, and the hot dogs were frozen!

I used:
1 package Hebrew National beef hot dogs (frozen)
2 medium potatoes, cubed, quartered, or pieces LOL as you like
1/2 medium onion, sliced
1 1/2 quart glass casserole dish
Piece of saran wrap to cover casserole during cooking

Place hot dogs, cubed potatoes, and onion in casserole. Sprinkle with pepper and/or seasonings of your choice. Cover with saran wrap, punch about 6 places with a fork in the saran wrap (for venelation), and place in microwave.

Turn on Microwave (I did full power) for 5 minutes. Check after 5 minutes (check to see if tender) and continue cooking for about 4 more minutes. I allowed this casserole to sit for about 5 more minutes after cooking. Be careful when removing saran wrap for any steam, which will be hot. 

Serve on plate with sliced tomato and/or any veggies you desire.
