The craze for microwaving portion-size dishes in a mug is only gaining steam.
Meals in a mug are a perfect solution for solo dining, and they're also quick and easy options for busy people. And they are a convenient and budget-friendly way to eat delicious and healthy meals when living in a dorm, travelling in a RV or eating at the office.
These perfect individual portion sized recipes cover morning breakfast to late afternoon snacks and satisfying suppers with just a quick trip to the microwave which speedily omits hours of stovetop simmering and/or baking. In just 2 minutes, breakfast gets a sumptuous and nutritious boost with a moist and tender Banana Blueberry Muffin. Lunch takes its inspiration from New Orleans with Red Beans and Barley.

03/03/2014Recipe-developing workhorse Saulsbury (500 Best Quinoa Recipes, 750 Best Muffin Recipes, 150 Best Ebelskiver Recipes) returns with yet another numerically-based cookbook centered on single-serving meals microwaved in a mug. Candidly admitting it's a fad but never questioning the need for recipes that amount to just a single serving, Saulsbury covers the usual basics (pantry staples, choosing the right mug, etc.) with recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The book places emphasis on ease of use and quick prep forgoing the inclusion of nutritional information. One can speculate that since Saulsbury relies on precooked meatballs for many of her meat-based dishes as well as canned broth and bacon bits, the sodium levels must be high. Even those with forgiving palates will find themselves questioning some of Saulsbury's suggestions, perhaps best represented by the "BBQ Chicken Mashed Potato Bowl" recipe which incorporates canned chicken, barbecue sauce, instant potatoes, canned corn, and cheddar into something that's more of a dare than a dish. Readers with low expectations who lack basic cooking skills will get the most out of this collection, as "Bistro Onion Soup," "Corn Chip Pie," and "Philly Cheesesteak Mug" come together in a matter of minutes.
