Here are a few easy and quick microwave meal recipes that you can have for breakfast, lunch, or dinner:

Mac and cheese

Ingredients: ½ cup elbow macaroni, ½ cup water, 3 tbsp milk, ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Prep: Probably one of the basic microwave meal recipes to make. All you have to do is mix the macaroni, water, and salt in a microwavable bowl or mug for 2 to 3 minutes then stir well. Add the milk, cheese plus salt and pepper then stir. Pop in the microwave for another 30 seconds to 1 minute and stir. Top it with a garnish of your choice like a sprinkle of chives or more cheese and dig in.

Chicken Quesadilla

Ingredients: 2 medium flour tortillas, ½ cup boiled chicken strips, ½ diced bell pepper, 1 tbsp taco seasoning, and ½ cup shredded cheese. Prep: A meal that’s good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. First, you need to microwave the tortillas for 1 to 2 minutes depending on how crunchy you want them to be. Mix the chicken, bell peppers, and taco seasoning in a bowl then microwave for 1 to 2 minutes until the diced bell peppers are soft. Spread the mixture evenly on one tortilla, cover it evenly with cheese then top with the other tortilla. Pop in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute and enjoy.

Omelet in a mug

Ingredients: 2 eggs, ½ diced bell pepper, ¼ cup spinach plus a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Prep: Combine all ingredients in a microwavable mug and mix until well combined. You can also throw in some leftover bacon for some flavor. Heat in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes in 1-minute bursts. Make sure the egg doesn’t bubble over so stir well after every 1 minute and you have yourself a quick fix.

Poached eggs

Ingredients: 1 egg, ½ cup room temperature water, salt, pepper. Prep: Eggs are one of the healthiest and cheapest foods you can eat. To poach eggs via a microwave oven, crack the egg in a mug with ½ cup water, microwave on high power setting for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Let the egg sit in the mug for 1 minute so egg whites can firm up. Drain the egg from the mug using a spoon or fork. Season with some ground pepper and place on top of your French toast, salad, or roasted vegetables and you’re good to go. Bonus microwave snack recipe

Potato chips

Ingredients: 2 medium-sized potatoes, 3 tbsp olive oil, ice water, salt. Prep: Instead of opening a bag of chips, go with this easy and simple recipe of fresh potato chips. Rinse potatoes and peel off the skin if desired. If you want to keep the skin, make sure you rinsed it thoroughly. Thinly slice the potatoes, the thinner the better. Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of ice water to remove the starch and create crispy chips. Dry the potato slices on a paper towel and line a microwavable plate with parchment paper. Lay the potato slices out so they aren’t touching and brush them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Microwave on high power setting for 1 to 3 minutes on one side and another 1 to 2 minutes on the other side until golden brown. Sprinkle it with salt anew and enjoy your snack.

Dark chocolate dip

Ingredients: dark chocolate bar, fresh strawberries or bananas Prep: If your sweet tooth is looking to be satisfied then melt a dark chocolate bar in a microwavable bowl for 1 minute or until the chocolate is completely melted. Let it cool for a while and dip your strawberry or bananas in your melted chocolate dip.
