    About this ebook

    ** UPDATED FOR 2015! MORE RECIPES! **

    Microwave Low Carb Recipes provides 46 tasty recipes that solely require the use of a microwave oven.

    Most people don't have time to cook healthy meals. We settle for junk food at home, and when we eat out we ingest unhealthy fast food. Every day we end up damaging our own health.

    This book features 46 recipes ranging from easy nacho-and-salsa recipes that any after-school teen or college student can try to more advanced recipes like the spaghetti squash casserole that make a delightful family meal. Explore a new recipe every day for a month and expand your menu choices!

    These delicious solutions provide simple ideas for preparing quick, healthy meals that you will love. Even if you're at an office or in a college dorm, or stuck in a hotel room, you can make these healthy foods and keep your body energized and happy. From from Indian-style cauliflower to teriyaki chicken, this book provides a variety of options to keep your palate tantalized.

    In addition to the recipes, all of my low carb books provide appendices which explain how to successfully manage a low carb diet.

    Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions! I frequently update all my low carb books based on your recommendations.

    I love writing in a variety of genres. I currently have over 300 books published in all lengths from full 500+ page novels down to short stories. I love writing series. Some are with unconnected characters, like the 14 full-length medieval novels with a sword being passed from heroine to heroine. Some have connected characters, like the 31 mini-mysteries featuring a detective in Salem, Massachusetts. All of my books are written "clean" with no explicit intimacy, no harsh language, and no explicit violence. All are suitable for teens and up.For a full listing of my books please visit:http://www.lisashea.com/lisabase/writing/gettingyourbookpublished/lisalibrary.html

      Microwave Low Carb Recipes - Lisa Shea

      Introduction

      It is quality rather than quantity that matters

      -- Lucius Annaeus Seneca

      In the many years that I’ve been writing about low carb, the number one issue I’ve heard from my visitors is that they simply don’t have time to cook healthy meals. They are too busy with work, with family, with other activities to dedicate the hours a day our grandmothers used to spend cooking and cleaning.

      The result is that we eat junk food at home, and when we go out to eat we often settle for unhealthy fast food restaurants. Every day we end up damaging our own health. We sap away our own energy levels, we cause sleepless night, and we set ourselves up for long term damage.

      This book exists to help you learn ways to prepare quick, healthy meals that you can enjoy. Every recipe in this book can be made with only a microwave oven. As long as your office has a microwave, there’s a microwave in your dorm room, or your apartment or home has a microwave on the counter, you’re all set!

      This book features 46 recipes ranging from easy low-carb-nacho-and-salsa recipes that any college student can try to more advanced recipes which require a few ingredients to assemble. Try a new recipe every day for a month and expand your menu choices!

      Please be sure to let me know if you have a favorite recipe that isn’t in this list. We would love to update this set of recipes to further help our community!

      Sauces and Dips

      Sauces can liven up any dish. You can start with a simple sandwich, or simple frozen vegetables put into a microwave, and a well done sauce can turn that into a delicious meal.

      The best part about sauces is that you can often make them up at the beginning of the week and use them for a few days, if not for the entire week.

      It’s well worth it to master a few sauce recipes. They can make everything else you cook go from OK to amazing!

      For dips, they can be a great way to help you enjoy more veggies in your world. Having a good dip in the fridge can soothe those snack cravings.

      Burrito Enchirito / Enchilada Sauce

      Many people are fond of Taco Bell’s enchirito and enchilada sauces. These sauces can be used on chicken, beef, and other dishes to give them a wonderful flavor.

      Here is a low carb version of both sauces which is simply delicious for any Mexican recipes you might create.

      Ingredients:

      3 Tbsp water

      2 Tbsp tomato paste

      1 Tbsp oil

      1 packet Splenda

      1/4 tsp chili powder

      1/8 tsp garlic powder

      1/8 tsp cumin

      1/8 tsp onion powder

      1/8 tsp salt

      1/16 tsp cayenne

      Mix all together thoroughly and then microwave for 20 seconds on 50% power. Use on your chicken, beef, or other bases when creating your favorite Mexican dishes.

      Some might find the full packet of Splenda to be too sweet. You could try starting with 1/2 packet and tasting the blend, and then adding more to your own taste.

      To determine carbs, really, it’s only the tomato paste in here that is going to affect you. Look at the tomato paste you are using, to figure out what the 2 Tbsp will equal. It is probably something close to zero.

      Edamame Ginger Dip

      This edamame ginger dip recipe uses a blender and microwave to create a delicious dip for veggies. This is perfect for entertaining and delicious as an appetizer.

      Ingredients:

      10oz bag frozen edamame

      1/4 cup water

      2 Tbsp soy sauce

      1 Tbsp tamarind sauce

      1 Tbsp rice vinegar

      1 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced

      1 clove garlic, minced

      dash salt

      3-4 drops sesame oil

      Start by microwaving the edamame. We keep bags of shell-containing edamame around as easy snacks, so we then hull them. If you buy the shelled version you save that time. Note that a 10oz bag of shell-containing frozen edamame only yields 2.8oz of actual usable edamame. There rest of that is just the inedible shell.

      Next, add in the water, soy sauce, tamarind sauce, rice vinegar, minced ginger, minced garlic, salt, and sesame oil.

      Blend together until smooth. How long that takes will be determined by how robust your blender or food processor is. Note that it doesn't have to be super-smooth. This is a dip for veggies, after all. It's fine for it to have some texture to it. I like to have this with carrots and pea pods, but you can of course mix it up with whatever types of veggies you normally like to eat.

      The amount of carbs you get from this depends on what the bag of edamame you chose indicates. For example, one bag we've used has 8g of fiber and 16g of carbs for the entire bag. So the amount of the total dip you eat is going to determine how much of that you'll count. Edamame is a good vegetable source of iron.

      Edamame Guacamole Dip

      Edamame are small soybeans that grow like peas in a pod. You do not eat the pod, just the inner beans. Edamame are really good for you - and they are easy to make into a dip just like guacamole! Making this edamame dip takes under five minutes, only needs a microwave, and is delightfully low carb and healthy.

      Ingredients:

      1 cup edamame

      5 Tbsp olive oil

      1 1/2 tsp lime juice

      1/4 tsp minced garlic

      salt

      pepper

      I start with a self-steaming edamame freezer bag. I cook it as instructed and then use a cup of it for this dip. If you have fresh edamame then certainly you can use that as well. I like the freezer option because it means you can always have some edamame ready in the freezer and make it whenever the mood hits you.

      Put the cooked cup of edamame into a small blender
