Nachos
Need: Corn chips of your choice
Shredded nacho cheese (or a
block to shred yourself)
Optional items: jalapenos, sour cream and salsa
Serves: One to two people

Spaghetti
Need: Noodles of your choice
Tomato sauce of your choice
Optional: Garlic bread and parmesan cheese
Serves: Three to four people

First, take a large microwavable bowl and fill it with water. Put the bowl in the microwave for up to 10 minutes or until the water is boiling. Then, place the noodles inside the water and microwave for an additional five to 10 minutes or until the noodles are soft. Additionally, take a smaller bowl filled with the tomato sauce and cover it with a microwavable lid. Place the bowl in the microwave with the noodles. Stir at regular intervals or add a pinch of salt to avoid the noodles sticking together. When the noodles are ready, take a colander and empty the water.

Take the warmed bowl of sauce and pour it over the noodles evenly. Then add optional items of parmesan cheese, basil or oregano and enjoy.

Steamed vegetables with cheese
Need: Bag of frozen vegetables of your choice
Container of liquid cheese

Place them back in the microwave for three to five minutes. Let them cool and enjoy.

Caramel apples
Need: Two to three apples
A container of caramel
Two to three popsicle sticks
Optional: Jimmies, candy corn and gummy worms
Serves: Two to three

Take a microwavable bowl and fill it with the caramel. Microwave for three to five minutes or until the caramel is soft. Then, take the popsicle sticks and drive them through the apple core so you can dip them into the caramel. Then add the optional jimmies, candy corn or gummy worms accordingly.

If you don’t want the mess of caramel apples on a stick, try cutting them into slices and dipping them into the caramel.

Chocolate covered strawberries
Need: Container of fresh strawberries
Two to three chocolate bars
Wax paper
Serves: One to two people

Take a medium-sized microwavable bowl and place the chocolate bars inside (break them up if necessary). Microwave the chocolate for three minutes or until melted.
