I'm so excited -- my DCB got here yesterday. I wanted this so badly I bought a new microwave that would be big enough for it, even though I really didn't need a new one.

Anyway -- what should my first recipe be tonight? I'll have time to make something cool, so I'm going to save the 30 min chicken for some other time.

TIA!

Thanks for sharing I love the microwave recipes!
 
No problem...all of those are REALLY GOOD. My favorites are the fajitas and the smashed potato soup. MMmmmmmm
 
And if you are looking for a dessert -

Mom's Apple Crisp, or Caramel Apple Bread Pudding are both wonderful too!

I'm glad I am not the only one that did this! I vote for the fajitas too.
 
I'm a huge fan of the 20-min ribs, but the ribs can be expensive
 
Why don't you try the new chicken wing recipe in the season's best for the fall?? It sounds super yummy!
 
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ribs.
 
Everything I have made so far in this has been delicious!!!!!!!

Me too!

One thing that turned out well - I did chicken and veggies in chicken gravy in the microwave. I cooked the chicken breast (10 minutes) while I was making a quick gravy from canned chicken stock and some herbs, and a roux....and then I chopped up the chicken, tossed in a bag of frozen veggies and the gravy - and topped it with a can of Grands Biscuits, and finished it in the oven - just baked until the biscuits were done. It was a simple, shortcut meal - but DH and DS loved it!

I'm SO excited!

I've been looking at all the recipes forever, wanting to get one. I just couldn't decide what I should do first! I've decided to go with the fajitas.

I hadn't even thought about being able to do SOUP -- how awesome! Can't wait for the weather to get colder!

Thanks everyone for the feedback!

Oh.

My.

GOODNESS!

That was awesome. I can tell I'm going to develop a DCB addiction.
 
I know I am a little behind on this but I FINALLY made the 30 minute chicken and (PICKY) family LOVED it!!! I also took it to work last week and made Mom's Apple Crisp in the breakroom for our potluck -a huge hit since I thought ahead and asked someone else to bring ice cream! I can't believe I have had this for over a year and am just now figuring out how awesome it is!
