I bet others will be glad to learn that you're living a healthier lifestyle without relying too much on your microwave. As I mentioned, preparing vegetarian foods for just 1 person (me) in my house pushes me towards the microwave, but I am also trying to learn recipes for making veg. foods in larger quantities and relying on my conventional oven and stove rather than the 'wave. By the way, I can't wait to check out Green Goes with Everything! =) Ruth, congratulations on your weight loss!

It's an ongoing job to live in a green and healthy way, isn't it? Also, Prasanna, I am glad to have posted this topic. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk more about microwaves and our food. I always learn more when my readers challenge me to dig deeper. e&P, I love zapping sweet potatoes in the microwave, although I have to say that since learning about how microwaves can affect our food, I may rethink that one.

In a pinch, I've used it to quickly cook veggies. I use the microwave to heat up leftovers and sometimes to bake potatoes (oh, the shame). In a pinch, I’ve used it to quickly cook veggies.

I lost almost 10 pounds in the first two weeks, just from not eating those packaged microwave dinners! I've been trying to practice more <a href="http://www.greengoeswitheverything.com/" rel="nofollow">green living</a> since reading Green Goes With Everything, and this is just one of the positive changes I've been able to make.
