Microwave cooking time may vary based on your microwaves wattage.
Depending upon where you live, the temperature has either already hit the 90′s like it has here in Florida…or it’s coming soon! While we are all probably ready for some warmer temps, it won’t be long that the cold of the winter will be something we long for again. Are we ever happy with the weather?!
The problem with summer is that it’s so hard to cook. The great meals that we prepared in the slow cooker seem too heavy. And the big pots of soup or stew…well it’s just too hot for that. And no one wants to turn on the oven to heat up an already hot home. And there’s so much to do outside, it gets dark later…and all of a sudden you realize…”HOLY COW! It’s 6pm and I haven’t even THOUGHT about dinner!” So, over the next few weeks, I’m going to share some simple recipes that will allow you to put a meal on your family’s table fast—in under 30 minutes, all prepared in the microwave!
You will obviously need a few important microwavable products. IT’S IMPORTANT THAT YOU USE ITEMS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE MICROWAVE. And you want to make sure that the items that you use are BPA free. Tupperware is the perfect solution!
So here are the tools that I recommend that you invest in for Summertime Cooking!

Most of the country is enveloped in cold weather, and many are blanketed in snow and ice. It’s a great time to clean out cabinets and organize your pantry! Put something in the slow cooker so that dinner in ready without much effort and use the time you save to get started on organizing your kitchen.
The best way to get organized is to actually take out EVERYTHING from all of your cabinets! While this makes it seem like things are getting worse, it’s really the only way to do this effectively. Start by looking for items that are expired or stale. If you have duplicates of items, this is a great time to combine them. Next clump all of your “like items” together. There are five categories we suggest that you use:
Baking Center: This includes your not only staples like flour and sugar, but things like cupcake papers and decorations.
Pasta &Beans Center: This includes not only different noodles, but items like croutons, rice and lentils.
Beverage Center: Products like coffee, teas, sweeteners, drink mixes.
Snack Center: Cookies, chips, and other snacks
Breakfast Center: Cereals, Oatmeal, Pop-Tarts…anything to do with breakfast
Now choose a cabinet that makes “sense” to house your centers. For example, the cabinet closest to the largest counter space is probably where you would stand to make a batch of cookies or mix a cake. That is where you should locate your “Baking Center”. Your coffeemaker requires water…so it’s probably close to a sink. The cabinet above this is the best location for the “Beverage Center”. The pasta needs to be cooked, so locating this near the stove is the most practical spot. This organization will help you locate items quicker and eliminates duplicates to an extent.
While this is a great beginning, the stack-ability and airtight seals of the Tupperware Modular Mates® will really complete this process. You’ll use every inch of space up to the next shelf, which will give you 30% more shelf space in your kitchen. And the airtight seals will keep food fresh, eliminate bug issues and keep your cabinets clean.
