Lunch/Dinner

Meatloaf in a Mug – A simple beef recipe that can be made on a busy weeknight. And this recipe can be cooked in just 3 minutes in microwave. You can also make individual cups if you want in large quantities. To make this you need –

3. Give a stand time of 3 minutes more.

Desserts

Cake in a Mug – The easiest dessert you can make after your meal. There are plenty of recipes for dessert in a mug but what I like is the cake made from coco-cola. No eggs and milks are required its simple and yum. For this you need –

• 4 tablespoons of sugar
• 3 tablespoon of cocoa powder
• 4 tablespoon of self-rising flour
• 3 tablespoon of vegetable oil
• 1 big dollop of Nutella spread
• Coco-cola to mix

Method –

1. Take sugar, flour, cocoa powder in a mug; now add oil and Nutella and stir well. Add coco-cola to make a smooth batter.
2. Bake it for 1.5 minutes or until its baked on high settings in a microwave. Dollop some whipped cream over the mug and enjoy.
