One more idea: cook some fav recipes in bulk when there's someone else around (or, better still WITH them... more fun ). Freeze for later microwaving. Makes sure house DOESNT burn down (and you dont either)... also means there's something ready cooked when you dont have time/energy are short.

If you want to use a microwave, how about some Corned Beef Hash In a big, microwave safe bowl with a cover mix:
Cover and cook on high for 5 minutes Mix in 1 or 2 eggs Cover and cook another 5 minutes.

If you are wary of the stove, how about the oven?
Meatloaf, Casseroles, Lasagna, etc.

howdy howdydave!
how long do you have to reside someplace before it becomes a home? Quote:
this actually sounds possible, tho i would want to use something less salty than corned beef. at least no matter what i do wrong it sounds like it won't blow up. wonder what ground turkey would do. do you cook the potatoes first? or use canned?

Howdy annie!
I dice some fresh potatoes (don't even skin 'em), rinse 'em and stick them right into the bowl. That's why it takes 10 minutes in the microwave. When it comes to cooking, never be afraid to experiment! Although there will be a few kitchen disasters, there will also be some outstanding successes. The key to being a good cook is knowing what spices to use. I learned that a long time ago from a book titled: The Impoverished Student's Cook Book

Howdy!
If you happen to own a Crockpot, here are 365 recipes (at the time of posting) for you: http://www.recipe-source.com/cgi-bin...tring=crockpot Recipe-source.com is my favorite online cookbook! BTW: If you don't already have a crockpot, get the kind that allows you to remove the porcelin from the heating element for easy washing!

I'm a big fan of baked beans too!
(Not only "Boston Baked" beans.) Baked beans can be done either with a beanpot (in the oven) or in a crockpot.

i have always been a lousy cook. can't blame the seizures entirely, my mother couldn't cook either. i have always been very good at knitting and sewing and crocheting and all that sort of stuff, but cooking has always been a complete mystery to me. nothing i cook is ever as good as a frozen dinner. sigh.

Annie - I also live alone (and do a fair bit of jumbling recipes, on a bad day). In my life, "someone else to cook with" = friend I bring over. I mostly pay for ingredients (figure that's fair)... we cook together. Depending on what sort of day I'm having, I might do my share to help with the cooking, do less than my share, get confused and make trouble, or crash on the couch seizing and/or exhausted. After the cooking (actually, during AND after ) we usually share lunch... friend can take some of the food home for HER freezer, too.
(I've got a few of those barter-type arrangements going on). I'm actually thinking about trying the LGI epilepsy diet... so will need help with managing that! PS Dave... where IS your page? Anything that gets a wierd site award without trying has GOT to be worth a look
