Answer 3

Take a can of Rotel tomatoes, hot or mild, or some kind of salsa, also hot or mild. Put it in a microwave safe bowl. Add chunked up velveta. Heat a little, stir a little until it is all melty and mixed together. Eat with tortilla chips. Serve to your college friends, especially the ladies -- assuming that is what you are into -- and they will sing your praises.

Answer 4

When I was in the Army and had a microwave in my barracks room, I used to buy lots of red hot burritos and totinos pizzas. The totinos pizza is great "after partying" food heated and rolled up like a burrito. Also, hot pockets, and any canned food you can put in a bowl and heat up is good.

Answer 5

baked potatoes are fast and yummy. If you looking for frozen dinners, there are several brands out there now that are a step above the rest...Stouffers, Maria Callendar, Boston Market. Microwave popcorn is always a winner too.

try going to a book store, maybe even a cook wear store, and finding a microwave cook book, yes there are a few out there, with some pretty decent recipes in them, but what ever they say a microwave cannot really brown theings for you, maybe try getting a toaster oven and a hot pate, and a few pans and things!
