Once I discovered how well they do in the microwave I never looked back. The other thing I discovered through the CookingBites recipe challenge was how well hard squash, such as butternut squash cooks in the microwave. Cook them whole as you would a potato, skin on. Then, if you want baked squash, cut in half, scoop out seeds and transfer to the oven and add whatever filling you choose- no struggling trying to cut them in half and remove the seeds when raw.

Don't forget to score the skin all the way around so there's a "vent" if necessary so there is no explosion. Better safe than having to clean up that mess.

Dinner this evening was supposed to be bbq on the beach but about 1 hour before the heavens opened so it became bbq in the restaurant

Really delicious food.

You have converted me. I cook most veggies in the "reactor" now.

Watermelon radish kimchi. It has the same bite as kimchi made with other kinds of radish, but it’s prettier.

Watermelon in a kimchi? wow. Is it a sweet spicy and salty combination then?

There are so many approaches to a casserole au gratin, this one turned out perfect for me. potatoes, leek, vegan mozzarella, vegan oat cream, salad.

Cod cakes, potato pancakes and leftover Brussels sprouts. We have been making cod cakes for years. The recipe I use is from the NY Times and it produces the best fish cakes I have ever had anywhere. If you like fish cakes just click Cod Cakes Recipe

Watermelon radish is a radish that looks similar to watermelon in that it has a greenish outer rim, white middle rim, and pinkish core. It is NOT watermelon.
