| My family is staying at a suites type hotel while we search for a home and I'm interested in getting some supplies for dinners so we are not forced to always rely on takeout or going out to eat. We have a microwave and a small fridge. Any great ideas of real meals we can have that don't require conventional cooking methods? Something beyond sandwiches, salads, or microwaveable prepackaged food? |

Microwaved baked potatoes with microwaved steamed broccoli & other veggies topped with grated cheese, salsa or hummus is one thing that comes to mind.
You could maybe steam a piece of fish - season with a mix of soy & mirin for teriyaki sauce Oatmeal in the micro is pretty good Good luck! |

Maybe buy a crockpot and make stew or chili?
You could also buy rotisserie chicken and pull it off the bone. Use the meat as filling for tacos (heated in microwave). A little BBQ sauce and it's pulled chicken. Good luck finding a great house! |

| You can cook bacon and eggs in the microwave (grease a ramekin and put egg inside, puncture the yolk). |

| I make quesadillas in the microwave. Black beans and cheese melted up. Any kind of fresh topping. |

Gotta get a toaster. Toast, bagels, toaster waffles, etc., in the morning. That also opens up the lox'n'cream cheese front--nice on weekends.
Also a good opportunity to increase the family's fruit intake. None of us eat enough fruit. For a little more expense you get a little more versatility: toaster oven. Hot dogs, Italian sausages, and most basic vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, greenbeans, etc.) are all micro'able. |

How do you do tacos in the microwave? Can you brown meat in there somehow? |

| Baked potatoes. Toppings of your choice. Salsa and cheddar cheese. Broccoli and cheese. Sour cream and chives. Etc. |

This is a long shot, but any possibility you can buy one of these and do some light cooking, pasta, stews, etc.

| How long do you think you will be there, I would conisder buying an induction burner cooker, they heat up incredibly fast/even and are very powerful for a single burner you can plug it. We used it all the time when we were renovating our kitchen to make big pots of chili/soup/etc. |

| Electric skillet might be useful. |
