Good things to cook in a toaster oven

Lounge
1

Ive been going over to my girlfriends every other day or every 3rd day or so. She doesnt have a functional stove. All she really had for cooking was a microwave. So we ended up eating out a lot.
Getting expensive. So, I suggested she get an toaster oven.

Anywho, Her parents said they would give her 50 dollars for one and I went out and picked one up for her. Got a good deal at walmart on one able to cook a 12 inch pizza.

Anyway, just picking up some stuff this afternoon. We already have tried a frozen pizza and tator tots in it. Today I went out and picked up a few things for my visit this afternooon. I got some breaded mushrooms, cheesesticks, chicken nuggets and popcorn shrimp.

I’ll see if I can find a pic to upload so you all can see the size on it.

I’m just posting to see if you all have any suggestions for other things to cook in it.

Last night we had Microwave lasagna and tator tots. Probably could use a vegetable, but whatever.

Not sure what we will have tonight.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Chicken wings, potstickers and egg rolls are amazing in the air fryer.

Just so you know air fryers are different from toaster ovens.

your right. It has some of the same functions as my dads air fryer. I mispoke. I meant toaster over. I will change the title.

It looks nice. Walmart has great prices.

On another note, it sounds you and your girlfriend have fun together. I think that’s great.

Thanks @HollyHobbie . We mostly do. The biggest issue I have with her is she is cooonnnsttanntly wanting to pause a movie when we watch one to ask a question about something or something…it can really be annoying when you pause the movie so much it takes 4 hours to get through a 1 and a half hour moviee.

Lol. Well, she’ll pause for a question and then go to the bathroom or check her phone or something… its not all just questions I guess.

Questions are just the gateway to the abysss.

I’ve survived with just a toaster oven for the past 3 1/2 years. I cooked anything from chicken to pork chops, roasted potatoes, sweet things like cakes and brownies and cookies!

Thanks so much for all the ideas @cigarino . You know I saw crab rangoons when I was in the frozen food isle but then I forgot to get them…

Make her watch shows like Dora the Explorer so there will be no questions asked. Clear cut plots. That will teach her a lesson. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
