A few weeks ago, I blogged about getting a NuWave Oven. Well, it came over a week ago, but I’ve yet to use it. It’s out of the box and just sitting there.
Honestly, I haven’t been cooking that much lately. Mike’s appetite has been bouncing up and down since getting out of the hospital, probably due to side effects of one of the meds he’s taking. For the most part, we’ve either been eating out or picking at leftovers. Mike is still out on disability, so we go out to break the monotony of sitting in the house all day, watching judge shows and commercials for Mesothelioma lawyers and Medical Assistant schools.
But leftovers don’t last forever, and we really shouldn’t be eating out all the time. So I have decided that tomorrow is the day I try the NuWave for the first time.
I got some boneless skinless chicken breasts on sale at Shaw’s today, and some fresh asparagus. I’m going to try a recipe in one of the recipe books that came with the oven, Air-Fried Chicken. Sounds like a good hearth-healthy recipe, not much in the way of added fat. It calls for dipping the chicken breast in a mixture of mustard and low-fat mayo and seasonings, then coating it with crushed corn flakes. Sounds pretty tasty to me!
I’m going to cook the asparagus in the NUWave, too. I’ll post again afterwards to let you know how it went.
