Mix and Match
My "Baker's Dozen" of basic ingredients are being turned into one tasty and filling dish after another. And I'm noticing an unexpected benefit: Altogether it's like a coordinated color scheme - I can take up a little of this and a little of that, heat it in the microwave, and everything on the plate goes nicely with everything else. I've just enjoyed macaroni and cheese, lima beans, and a sort of gravy over both which was actually chicken mushroom soup. Every bite of my lunch was wonderful!

Cooking foods daily means you build up a stock of yummy tasting leftovers. Can freeze some tasty meals too for days when you unexpectedly don't have time for cooking or anything else.
Have to say one thing though. Microwaved food is not as healthy as food cooked other ways. As a warm up, not such a big deal. Shouldn't be one's main method of cooking. [I know you don't microwave all the time].
I say this because of something my daughter went through. She is very healthy food conscious. Won't drink soda, eat sugar, beef or pork, avoids salt. Goes for veges, fresh fruit, healthy grains. Plus she works out regularly. Keeps her weight down. So she should be in top shape right? Except for a long while she wasn't. She got tired easily, had very little endurance. Checks with Dr. yielded nothing. After going through everything with her many times, she found an article about how eating too much microwaved food can make someone deficient in protein and vitamins. And what had daughter been doing? Eating microwaved vege dinners or microwaving vegetables to have with dinner at least 5nights a week. Mystery solved. She doesn't microwave near as much anymore and has much more energy.
Thought I should post this for folks who microwave all the time.
