I have a microwave pot with a lid that vents. When I'm in the mood to cook, I just add a bit of water, throw in some broccoli florets, some shredded carrots, some shredded zucchini, (and whatever else strikes my fancy). Add a splash of extra virgin olive oil, and some fresh garlic. And if you want a zip, add some creole powder.

Well, let me tell YOU, this is a vegetable dish that will really be a nice side dish.

It's all made in one pot. And you can put the pot (it's hot so use pot holders), right on the table.

But lately, it's just too hot. So I just grab my frying pan, spray some PAM. and cook everything in one pan. I throw in my grilled chicken, and that's it.

I do things EASY in the summer.

Oh, have any of you discovered the new GREEN PANS from Joy Mangano. Didn't get many good reviews but it's a new non stick coating that is supposed to be safe!!!

Anybody else hear of these things.

You gotta know that once they become affordable, I'm buying them and I'll do one of my infomercials. lol
