Impatient Dessert Mugs

Thought I may have posted a very long time ago on these but a search turned up a no.

Mug Cake Base

1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
2 1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp "milk"
*vanilla optional, squirt
*if too dry, use more milk

Microwave minute and twenty seconds to thirty seconds (1:20).


Banana Bread:
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 small banana or 1/4 large banana
Carrot Cake:
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup minced, cooked carrots
Chocolate:
2 tbsp cocoa

I haven't tried the Peanut Butter yet, but it'll be 1 tbsp when I do.
Dried and fresh fruit, also haven't bothered with, but 1 1/2-2 tbsp

You may even consider adding pudding mixes for your flavor, about 3 tbsp, think Pistachio, or Butterscotch; and consider adding a tsp of candy chips, like mint chocolate, white chocolate, carob, peanut butter!

Perhaps consider making savory mugs, also, exclude half the sugar, add cooked beans and veggies, about 3 tbsp-1/3 cup. Think cottage pie, chili cornbread, spaghetti, tuna casserole, breakfast mug, ....

Fire is Impatient

So, our house caught on fire. Stayed at a hotel for a couple nights on borrowed cash-not even a microwave or minifridge in room. Insurance moved us to a kitchenette hotel room for a week and a half, but only used the microwave once, and stove top once. Then insurance moved us to a rental house, pre-furnished.

Simple Impatience is Sometimes the Easiest (Pancakes)

The standard pancake/waffle mix of mine works fine, just exchanged the milk for almond juice, and deleted the eggs. I used to insist on nutmeg, allspice, or cinnamon, along with applesauce or bananas. No more, just too unreliable and usually gummy around guests. So for about 4-8 pancakes, depending on size, it is just 1 cup flour 1 tbsp baking powder 1-3 tbsp sugar 1/4-1/2 tsp salt 3/4 cup almond milk/juice I used to make these with whole wheat flour, also, still fluffy, just don't weight it down with oil, applesauce, or smashed banana- no need! Local store didn't have whole wheat, hopefully next week! Also ordered a 5 lb package of vegan "shwarma meat".  Had it on homemade naan this weekend, then put it on rice for spouse lunch, then added some to homemade goulash (tomato, carrot, onion, garlic, red bell pepper, salt, pepper, paprika, broth, fat elbow pasta. This stuff is fantastic, I can see it in cottage pie, pulled sandwiches, beef and broccoli... Sure...

Impatient Training and Reboot

Husband decided that he wanted to learn to cook (without having to follow silly recipes). The first weekend was a basic yeast bread. Second was a jewelled, vegan rice (tvp, rice, seasoning, pistacchios, broth, dried apricots, raisins, onion, tomato, red bell pepper). Third, I ended up with strep throat, but had pulled out a pork roast to thaw-gave him written directions how to use the dutch oven with coal for the piece of meat- how to preheat, etc, outside. Pulled out seasonings for him to use his own judgement on so he can gauge seasoning use. Everything has come out pretty perfect! Never having had strep before, it has been/is still an interesting thing to go through. The first day I just thought it was monthly issues, then 3 am I began throwing up. By the second days' evening, my throat was sore and swollen, I pretty much figured I would die before my 21 year old cat. On the third day I went in to see a doctor because I realized it wasn't allergies and found it hard...
