About This Recipe
"This recipe came about because I'm Somersizing and was looking for something fast and easy and basically all I had in the house that fit into my diet was frozen spinach and cream cheese. This was ready in minutes. I actually find myself making this often, either as a side dish, or I eat it straight out of the bowl. I told Yooped this easy SS diet trick, and he twisted my arm so much I had to post it here at Zaar. Even for those who aren't Somersizing, this is a fantastic and simple creamed spinach side dish."

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE: [argilla]
3 cups sweet potatoes, mashed (± 4- 5 medium sweet potatoes)
1 cup sugar
⅓ cup butter/spread
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Topping
1 cup walnuts/pecans, chopped
1 cup brown sugar
⅓ cup plain flour
⅓ cup butter/spread, melted
1 cup coconut
Instructions
Cook sweet potatoes for 8 - 10 minutes on High in Microwave, using the Medium Gourmet Roaster. Mash sweet potatoes, add sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla stir thoroughly. Mix ingredients for topping and spread over sweet potatoes. Bake at 180°C for 45 – 60 minutes or until brown and bubbly.
CORN PUDDING:
1 can corn (any brand)
2 tbsp milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp butter
1 1/2 tbsp grated cheddar cheese
1. Open your can of corn. I use an old school can opener and I love it so.
2. Spread in a microwave safe dish and add 2 tbsp of milk.
3. Salt and pepper it as much as you like.
4. Now, you don’t have to, but I absolutely love cheese, so I added 1 1/2 tablespoons of grated cheddar cheese. Then, mix all ingredients lightly.
5. Dot with butter. You don’t have to go all crazy here, even though it’s tempting. This is just to keep the corn from drying out while it cooks. 1 tsp should be plenty.
6. Set in microwave for 5-6 minutes. I don’t have a rotating tray so I turned the dish 180 degrees halfway through the cooking process.
7. Remove from the microwave and set on a flat surface for 5 minutes. The corn will still be cooking during that time, so it needs that extra chill time. Afterwards, dish out and enjoy!
MICROWAVE CHILI:
1/2 medium onion (about 1/4 cup), diced
about 1 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp chili powder
2 1/2 tbsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 can diced tomatoes (I used the “chili-ready” version, but any kind is fine, 2-3 fresh ones would be even better!)
1 can black beans
1. Dice your onions and mince your garlic and add to the bottom of a microwave safe dish. For this, I wanted a shallow pan so I used my trusty 9″ pie dish. Don’t judge me. Pie dishes are no longer just for pies! Drizzle some olive oil on top and microwave it for 2 minutes.
I didn’t have any fresh garlic, so I used this cheat. Oh the shame.
2. Add 1 tablespoon chili powder to the onions and garlic after you’ve taken them out of the microwave. Also, add 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika, all the cumin and cayenne pepper.
Your dish will look like a red dirt terrain. It’s awesome!
3. Add your tomatoes on top of the red terrain. Yes, I cheated by using the “chili-ready” diced tomatoes. But these recipes are all about simplicity, remember?? We’re college students with only microwaves who don’t care about recipe cheats!
4. Place the dish in the microwave for another 2 minutes. I’m constantly rotating my dish halfway through all these cooktimes.
5. Remove and add the beans. You could also add corn and scallions. I just didn’t that day! Add another tablespoon of paprika and pop it into the microwave for 4 minutes to finish cooking.
6. Remove and set on a flat surface for 5 minutes.
The good thing about this recipe is that it had such a small mess! This was it! I absolutely detest washing dishes so this was nice. Very very nice.
Top with a little (or if you’re me, a lot) of cheddar cheese and eat eat eat!

Total Time: 25 min
Prep 5 min
Cook 20 min
4 servings
Ingredients
•1kg medium asparagus, tough ends trimmed
•Extra-virgin olive oil
•Sea salt and cracked black pepper
•1/2 lemon, sliced paper thin
•1 bay leaf
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Get yourself a paper bag large enough to hold the asparagus comfortable. Throw the asparagus in there and drizzle the outside of the bag with olive oil to keep the bag from burning. Sprinkle the asparagus with the salt and cracked pepper and toss in the lemon slices and bay leaf. Close the bag, folding it over several times and creasing the folds well to hold the steam in. Put the pan on a baking sheet, drizzle it with more olive oil, stick it in the oven, and bake for 20 minutes.
Take the baking sheet out of the oven and set it on top of the stove. Set a serving plate next to the stove. Using a kitchen towel or a pair of kitchen tongs, raise the bag over the plate, open the bag, and slide the asparagus out onto the plate. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and serve hot.

About This Recipe
"This recipe came about because I'm Somersizing and was looking for something fast and easy and basically all I had in the house that fit into my diet was frozen spinach and cream cheese. This was ready in minutes. I actually find myself making this often, either as a side dish, or I eat it straight out of the bowl. I told Yooped this easy SS diet trick, and he twisted my arm so much I had to post it here at Zaar. Even for those who aren't Somersizing, this is a fantastic and simple creamed spinach side dish."

CHEESY SPINACH BAKE: [ARGILLA RESEPTE]
1 packet frozen chopped spinach, thawed

125 ml 1% low-fat milk
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or melted butter
½ cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
½ tsp baking powder
1 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
salt
Drain the spinach in a colander. Press with the back of a large spoon to remove excess moisture. Set aside. Whisk eggs, milk and olive oil together in a large bowl. Add the bread crumbs and baking powder and stir. Add spinach, Cheddar- and Parmesan cheese, mix until well combined. Spread the mixture evenly into a greased Square Pie Dish. Microwave on high for ± 7 -10 minutes, until set.
ZUCCHINI CHEESE CASSEROLE:
2 cups of egg noodles
4 cups of diced zucchini
1/2 cup of water
1/4 cup of butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups of chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup of chopped onion
1 clove of garlic, chopped
1/4 cup of flour
3/4 teaspoon of salt
3/4 teaspoon of dried basil
1 1/2 cups of milk
1 1/2 cups of shredded gouda cheese
1.Bring a large bowl of lightly salted water to a boil by microwaving on high for a couple of minutes. Add the egg noodles and cook until they are done – which usually takes about 4 to 8 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water and set aside.
2.Meanwhile, place the zucchini and water into a 2 quart, microwave safe casserole dish with lid. Cover and cook in the microwave on high for 6 minutes. Scrape the zucchini into the colander with the pasta and set them aside. Place the butter, mushrooms, onion and garlic into the casserole dish. Cook on high for 3 minutes then stir in the flour, salt and basil. Stir in the milk then return the dish to the microwave and cook on high 5 minutes more, stirring every 2 minutes.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE: [argilla]
3 cups sweet potatoes, mashed (± 4- 5 medium sweet potatoes)
1 cup sugar
⅓ cup butter/spread
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Topping
1 cup walnuts/pecans, chopped
1 cup brown sugar
⅓ cup plain flour
⅓ cup butter/spread, melted
1 cup coconut
Instructions
Cook sweet potatoes for 8 - 10 minutes on High in Microwave, using the Medium Gourmet Roaster. Mash sweet potatoes, add sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla stir thoroughly. Mix ingredients for topping and spread over sweet potatoes. Bake at 180°C for 45 – 60 minutes or until brown and bubbly.
CORN PUDDING:
1 can corn (any brand)
2 tbsp milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp butter
1 1/2 tbsp grated cheddar cheese
1. Open your can of corn. I use an old school can opener and I love it so.
2. Spread in a microwave safe dish and add 2 tbsp of milk.
3. Salt and pepper it as much as you like.
4. Now, you don’t have to, but I absolutely love cheese, so I added 1 1/2 tablespoons of grated cheddar cheese. Then, mix all ingredients lightly.
5. Dot with butter. You don’t have to go all crazy here, even though it’s tempting. This is just to keep the corn from drying out while it cooks. 1 tsp should be plenty.
6. Set in microwave for 5-6 minutes. I don’t have a rotating tray so I turned the dish 180 degrees halfway through the cooking process.
7. Remove from the microwave and set on a flat surface for 5 minutes. The corn will still be cooking during that time, so it needs that extra chill time. Afterwards, dish out and enjoy!
MICROWAVE CHILI:
1/2 medium onion (about 1/4 cup), diced
about 1 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp chili powder
2 1/2 tbsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 can diced tomatoes (I used the “chili-ready” version, but any kind is fine, 2-3 fresh ones would be even better!)
1 can black beans
1. Dice your onions and mince your garlic and add to the bottom of a microwave safe dish. For this, I wanted a shallow pan so I used my trusty 9″ pie dish. Don’t judge me. Pie dishes are no longer just for pies! Drizzle some olive oil on top and microwave it for 2 minutes.
I didn’t have any fresh garlic, so I used this cheat. Oh the shame.
2. Add 1 tablespoon chili powder to the onions and garlic after you’ve taken them out of the microwave. Also, add 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika, all the cumin and cayenne pepper.
Your dish will look like a red dirt terrain. It’s awesome!
3. Add your tomatoes on top of the red terrain. Yes, I cheated by using the “chili-ready” diced tomatoes. But these recipes are all about simplicity, remember?? We’re college students with only microwaves who don’t care about recipe cheats!
4. Place the dish in the microwave for another 2 minutes. I’m constantly rotating my dish halfway through all these cooktimes.
5. Remove and add the beans. You could also add corn and scallions. I just didn’t that day! Add another tablespoon of paprika and pop it into the microwave for 4 minutes to finish cooking.
6. Remove and set on a flat surface for 5 minutes.
The good thing about this recipe is that it had such a small mess! This was it! I absolutely detest washing dishes so this was nice. Very very nice.
Top with a little (or if you’re me, a lot) of cheddar cheese and eat eat eat!

Total Time: 25 min
Prep 5 min
Cook 20 min
4 servings
Ingredients
•1kg medium asparagus, tough ends trimmed
•Extra-virgin olive oil
•Sea salt and cracked black pepper
•1/2 lemon, sliced paper thin
•1 bay leaf
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Get yourself a paper bag large enough to hold the asparagus comfortable. Throw the asparagus in there and drizzle the outside of the bag with olive oil to keep the bag from burning. Sprinkle the asparagus with the salt and cracked pepper and toss in the lemon slices and bay leaf. Close the bag, folding it over several times and creasing the folds well to hold the steam in. Put the pan on a baking sheet, drizzle it with more olive oil, stick it in the oven, and bake for 20 minutes.
Take the baking sheet out of the oven and set it on top of the stove. Set a serving plate next to the stove. Using a kitchen towel or a pair of kitchen tongs, raise the bag over the plate, open the bag, and slide the asparagus out onto the plate. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and serve hot.
