Across the Microwave

Today, I led a group of seven volunteers to visit a local shelter for people experiencing homelessness. The shelter’s volunteer coordinator and I had talked a few months back about providing a cooking class for the residents. There was one catch: The residents would only have access to a microwave.

I like to cook, but I mostly just cook for meal prepping. I do not use the microwave very often. Designing a recipe booklet with only microwaveable choices was difficult, but I felt up to the challenge. And, over the past month, I have curated a few recipes and tested them out.

I put together a recipe book for the clients. Feel free to download, try out the recipes, and let me know what you think. I have the sourcing for the recipes if you are interested.
