Any ideas for meals cooked on either BBQ or Microwave?

[mummytummy]

We're now in week 10 of a major building project, and we don't have a kitchen now until the new one comes in 2 weeks time. We haven't got anywhere to prepare anything elaborate, and all we have to cook on is a BBQ with one gas burner in the garden, and a microwave in our living room! Any ideas for easy to prepare, nutritious food? I was at work today and my DH gave my DDs (1 and 3) burgers for lunch. I asked whether he had done anything with them and he answered yes - more burgers!!!

We had this last year - went on for months - took me several months to persuade dh to upgrade to gas bbq from charcoal! Really found I could do pretty much anything - veggies in the microwave, rice in the microwave, pasta on the camp stove, grilled meat, fish or sausages. Lots of sandwiches. Go out to tea with friends. It was the lack of storage space, the endless dust and just a washing up bowl on a table for washing up that got to me - but at least it's summner and soon you will have a great kitchen.

Salmon marinaded in soya sauce on the BBQ, chicken marinaded in Nandos-type sauce, lamb chops.

Serve with cous-cous (all you need is a kettle to boil the water).

You can buy ready-made side salads from the supermarket salad bar.

The other very useful product in this scenario is a george foreman, much quicker, cleaner and more convenient for daily use than the BBQ
