Meal in a Mug
Meal in a Mug: 80 Fast, Easy Recipes for Hungry PeopleAll You Need Is a Mug and a Microwave | Denise Smart
8 posts
Charmingly designed and perfectly approachable, here are eighty simple recipes for delicious, healthy food that require nothing more than a mug and a microwave. For anyone who cant cook, wont cook, or doesnt have the time to cookbut still wants a fresh, delicious meal instead of takeout or packaged, processed food when theyre eating alonehere is the answer. All you need for real food, really fast, is a large mug, a microwave, a handful of ingredients, and a spoon. Whether youre cooking in a pocket-sized apartment, a crowded dorm, or an office kitchenette, here are quick and clever recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and snacks. Squeezing a home-cooked breakfast into your morning dash is no problem with Peanut Butter and Jam Porridge, Eggs Florentine with Hollandaise, or seed- and fruit-packed Breakfast Muffins. And no more sad office salad: whip up Spicy Lentil and Bacon Soup, Pea and Pesto Soup, and Shrimp Laska in the office kitchen for lunch, with a side of Honeyed Carrots or Garlicky Mushrooms! Chicken Korma, Thai Shrimp Curry, Wild Mushroom Risotto, Chili con Carne, and Sweet Potato and Chickpea Tagine make healthy, quick, and delicious dinners that easily trump overpriced takeout or preservative-laden frozen food. And mug baking is a piece of cake with Chocolate and Pistachio Brownies, White Chocolate and Lime Cheesecake, Berry Crumble, Sticky Gingerbread, and much more. Finally, dont forget the more conventional (but no less delicious) mug treats: Ultimate Hot Chocolate, Mulled Cider with Ginger, and Vanilla Latte. Yum! You will be in and out of the kitchen, cravings fully satisfied, in five minutes or less!

Another option for this week‘s #LitsyATXReadersSociety meeting. It‘s really hot here so maybe microwaving dinner isn‘t such a bad idea. I wonder if some of these could be converted to vegetarian or vegan options? It‘s available as an ebook for $2.99.

Yes, I‘m mostly serious about this as a book club option. Someone assessing whether or not these can actually be done would be awesome!

ElizaMarie Curious about these recipes! People use to pick on me becauseI use a cup or mug for a lot of my meals. They are easier to hold than a plate and well... I feel like its a better way for me to portion size (sometimes I am too lazy to fill the mug up again so I end up eating a smaller amount) 4y
jpmcwisemorgan @ElizaMarie Me too. I‘ve heard the mug recipes don‘t actually work but it‘s just $2.99 do I bought it. I know the one for scrambled eggs should be ok because my mom started making scrambled eggs in the microwave decades ago, and I‘ve done it too. Not necessarily in a mug but I figure it‘ll work in a mug as well as a bowl. 4y
ElizaMarie @jpmcwisemorgan I know they have kits for cake/muffins in mugs 4y

jpmcwisemorgan @ElizaMarie I can see baked stuff working better than some of the other recipes in the book. (edited) 4y
Doodles67 I am curious, too. Do you volunteer to be a guinea pig? I may be willing to buy this if the recipes are worth it. 4y
jpmcwisemorgan @Doodles67 I‘m super lazy when it comes to actually using a cookbook so I‘d not make a great guinea pig! 4y
