While I used to detest the concept of nuking food, my microwave is essential. I rarely use it to prepare a meal but to defrost my chicken broth or heat up my coffee that I forgot to drink.

Mousse

Thinly sliced and tucked under the breast of a whole chicken with some herbs and roast the chicken.

I haven't make a cookie in years. That is why god invented mothers. :-)
