When you want a homemade meal, but do not have the time, try my Creamy Tuscan Microwave Macaroni And Cheese recipe! People will not believe it was not made from scratch! #ad @princesshouse

Are you a busy mom? I am too! And I am sure you want to serve your family a nice homemade meal every night of the week. Me too, but I can’t always do that.

What I can do is find recipes that taste homemade when I used a shortcut or two. This is especially handy when I can make something the family thinks took all day!

Microwaves Are For More Than Re-Heating Food!

I know some of you may balk at using a microwave. That’s cool! For me, I am a microwaving mamma! I began using the microwave to re-heat food or make a Lean Cuisine meal.

I also make bacon, corn and baked potatoes in it. It has not been until recently that I began making full on recipes in the microwave. I found some get some great recommendations on which microwave to choose and am glad I did!

Creamy Tuscan Microwave Macaroni And Cheese 5

What a time saver! And for many dishes, like my Creamy Tuscan Microwave Mac And Cheese Recipe you can make in one pot.

Save Time Cooking And Cleaning

Not only does that save on time, it saves on clean-up. And that leads to using less energy for you and your house! It is a win-win!

I was super excited to discover the gorgeous cook and bakeware from Princess House. I have been using the Fantasia® Bake Serve & Store 3-in-1 Miracle Dish and Silicone Steamer Set. I love that I can cook AND serve my Creamy Tuscan Microwave Mac And Cheese Recipe in the same dish!

    I have used the microwave to make a box of Red Beans and Rice (usually I use the stovetop). It took about as long as the stovetop. I was pretty disappointed with the results when I did it. I followed the directions to the letter and it was an utter failure. I ended up have to keep adding more and more time to it haha. Needless to say it wasnt ready when the rest of dinner was and didnt taste as good.
