Do you have anything delicious that you love to make - with your microwave as your only heat source? PLEASE!!! Share your secrets with me! I used to hate the thought of using the microwave, everything always turns out rubbery or just odd. But last night changed my mind...
I didn't want to wait to heat up the oven, but I really wanted sugar cookies. Found this recipe at cooks dot com, decided to try. It turned out delicious! Cakey, fluffy not-too-sugary cookies.

This experience has opened my mind to the fact that yes, sometimes microwaves can help you make things that taste good.
