I'm vegan, haven't owned a microwave in years, and rarely use a blender, so can assure you that a stove & oven is plenty :)
Some variety of pasta + sauce? (Veggie pasta sauce: chop onion & some garlic, chuck into olive oil for a bit. Add chopped/diced mushrooms, courgette (zucchini), bell pepper, anything in the veggie line that you have around the place, fry for a bit more. Chuck in a tin of drained chickpeas & a tin of chopped tomatoes (or real chopped tomatoes & some water). Balsamic vinegar if you have it (or white wine vinegar), bit of basil or mixed herbs. Simmer for a while.)
