250 best meals in a mug

Delicious Homemade Microwave Meals in Minutes. It’s what we all dream about, right? A hearty meal or snack in minutes…we want what we want now! The 250 Best Meals in a Mug puts your cravings for comfort food and desserts within reach!

The crazy for microwaving portion-size dishes in a mug is only gaining steam. Think of the convenience when dining alone or just waiting for time. Meals in a mug are a great option. It’s the ideal solution for those living in a dorm, traveling in an RV, or eating at the office trying to make the deadline. It’s convenient, budget-friendly, and a great way to make delicious, healthy meals.

Think individual-portion-sized recipes. Recipes that will take you through morning breakfast to late-afternoon snacks and top it off with a satisfying supper and mouth-watering dessert. It all happens with just a quick trip to the microwave, omitting hours of stove-top simmering or baking.

Written by Camilla V. Saulsbury she’s done all the work of stripping away all the time-consuming steps and all the artificial ingredients found in boxed meals. Most of these recipes can be created from scratch in less time than it takes ot defrost a processed store-bought meal. For example, breakfast gets a boost in just two minutes with a delicious homemade muffin! We love the Cinnamon Sugar Muffin Recipe…so easy Miss M makes it for her and Li’l Man in about 5 minutes for two!
