Meal ideas with only a microwave and toaster!

[LaFlottes]

Hello!
We are having our kitchen re done and from Thursday next week we will have a few weeks without a kitchen!

We will have a microwave, toaster and BBQ! We are all veggie!

Ideas would be very welcome!

Thanks!

Beans on toast. Scrambled eggs are very acceptable in the microwave if you keep taking them out to stir.
microwave meals obv (you can get Cook if you’re feeling posh).
potato waffles can be done in the toaster & you ca. get those toaster bags, though I’ve never used them.

Jacket potatoes.

Look on bbc food, they've a section on cooking with a microwave, all sorts. Less electricity needed too.

Could you buy or borrow a George Forman grill and/or a slow cooker? That will expand your options a bit.

Do you have a big freezer? Batch cook things like soup that can be easily just heated in the microwave.

If the weather continues as it is, salads are probably your friend anyway at the moment.

Could you batch cook some chillies/curries beforehand?
If not then jacket potato's.

All manner of veggie microwave meals
All sorts of quorn/veggie things done on the BBQ
Pasta/rice in the microwave
Salads

I am in the same situation!
We have a lot of salads, the supermarket Caesar salad is good but I assume not vegetarian due to the dressing, you could probably make a good alternative! Serve with pre-prepared microwaveable new potatoes.

Flavoured microwave rice. DH often gets cooked chicken pieces and/or salami (replace with veggie protein!)and some peppers and sweetcorn, along with the Mexican rice and makes a sort of cheats jambalaya.

Get a slow cooker. Loads of good recipes for those.

I make a lovely potato and pepper dish, a dhal, veggie curries, veggie pasta sauce and cook the pasta in the sauce too. Tons of things.

Feta salad
Microwaved taco beans and salad in hard or soft shell tacos
Curry

In this weather, get inventive with salads, home made carotte rapée, raw thinly sliced Paris mushrooms in yoghurt dressing, avocado vinaigrette, Russian salad, Provençal salad with tomatoes and peppers, caprese salad, then just add some protein like cheese.

Heat up cartons of soup in the microwave.
Get some pouches of mixed grains, or make up cous-cous, stir in an assortment of vegetables in oil such as artichoke, peppers, olives, add some nuts or pomegranate seeds.
Get some toaster bags so you can make toasted sandwiches, and Bob's your uncle.

Most veggies, salmon, bacon between 2 sheets of kitchen paper, baked potatoes

Thank you so much! Loads of great suggestion I hadn’t thought of!

Microwave sweet and sour chicken and rice. Had forgotten about it and made it recently and had forgotten how easy and tasty.

Fantastic idea apart from OPs family are all veggie 🙈

I'd be utilising your bbq especially if it's gas (nothing against charcoal just takes longer).
Big field mushrooms with Stilton
Bbq haloumi burgers
Jacket sweet potatoes with cheese and coleslaw
All can be served with bread, microwaved rice, cous cous and salads.

Pear, Stilton and walnut salad
Bruschetta
Ready made quiches or falafel in pita
Mexican salads with tinned beans, or Mexican flavoured rice sachets and wraps to make burritos.
Nachos

@Hellocatshome - yes, and it's possible to substitute meat for non meat (didn't think I needed to spell that one out 🤷🏻‍♀️).
