My latest version of mashed potatoes: Microwave a large potato until tender. Peel, add salt, and mash together with 2 - 3 tablespoons of salsa and fat-free plain yogurt until it is a creamy consistency. Yummy!

I don't have time when I come home from work to slave over the stove, so I'm big on using the microwave to cook my veggies or zap some frozen ones.

chickennugget, I am trying that cauliflower recipe next week!

you guys have great ideas! Apple Cheeks - I have been majorly craving onion rings the past couple of days and i like your home made onion ring ide! i must try it.

also- i dont remember what brand it is, but i think it's McCormick that makes packets of various seasonings like garlic and basil, italian herb, etc, and they come with a little steamer bag. you just buy the veggies, shake them up with the herbs in the bag and steam them! i'm going to try those soon.

That reminds me - I bought one of those McCormick seasoning packets a year ago... it is still sitting in my cupboard. It's the curse of cooking for one combined with the fact that I love to food shop. I need to remember to "donate" that packet to my boyfriend, he's more likely to cook things out of a packet than me anyways.
