Sorry for the hiatus! My mother is in town, which means I actually get to work Full-Time for my At-Home business. Which is a great thing, but the downfall is I don't have time to get by posts up. I will be starting up again really soon!
I have a ton of new recipes I have tried...so check back soon!
Thanks!
Trying to feed a hungry family of 5 is no easy task. I am out to solve the dinner time crunch using my Microwavable Bakeware, awesome recipes, and my microwave. Follow me in my recipe experiments as I try to find perfect Fast Family Feasts.

Microwave Miracle Lentils & Rice
Welcome to the wonderful world of Majedra aka Lentils and Rice!
Now when I made this, I didn't precook the lentils long enough before putting in the rice, so when my rice was done the lentils were still a bit on the crunchy side. So I upped the lentil cooking time from the 5 minutes that I did, to 10 minutes in the recipe. I would make sure that you lentils are bubbling for about 3 minutes before adding the rice. Let me know if 10 minutes was enough time. Thanks!
My Microwave
If you don't know what your wattage is, there should be a sticker with the Model number on the inside of the microwave or door, or maybe on the back. Type it into Google and find the info on your model. I also found out I have 1.3 cubic feet of awesome microwavable space, because I'm sure you were on the edge of your seat about that.
