Here's your solution to late night studying, random cravings and having limited ingredients and utensils at your disposal. Here are some mug food recipes with sweet and savory options to try. :)

1. 5-Minute Nutella Mug Brownie

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon (3 ¼ oz/90g) Nutella
  • 1 large egg, gently whisked
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour

Method:

  1. In a large microwavable mug, whisk the Nutella and egg together.
  2. Add the flour, then mix until you have a smooth batter.
  3. Microwave for roughly 45-60 seconds. Always keep a close eye on your mug while it's in the microwave so it doesn’t overflow or overcook.
  4. When the brownie is set and firm on top, and an inserted toothpick comes out clean, it is done cooking. Let the brownie cool a few minutes before serving.
  5. Optional: Serve with some vanilla ice cream while it’s still warm.

2. Mac 'n' Cheese

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup macaroni
  • 1/2 cup choice of shredded cheese

Method:

1. Add macaroni and water to your mug; the water level should be just above the macaroni, if not a little more. Add more water if necessary.
2. Microwave on high for eight minutes. At the two- and five-minute mark, stir the contents of the mug and add more water if necessary. Cook until the time is up, or until the pasta is al dente.
3. Add cheese to your mug, mixing with the small amount of water remaining at the bottom. If the cheese does not completely melt, pop it mug back in the microwave for another 30-60 seconds.

3. Omelette-in-a-Mug

  • cooking spray
  • 2 eggs
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon diced roasted red peppers
  • ¼ cup spinach
  • 1 tablespoon feta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon sliced green onions

Method:

  1. Spray the inside of your coffee mug with cooking spray.
  2. Add eggs to the cup, and use a fork to whisk until the yokes are combined.
  3. Add in your desired toppings: roasted red pepper, spinach, feta cheese, green onions, or pepper to taste.
  4. Gently stir together.
  5. Put the mug to the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
  6. Remove and let sit for 1 minute.
  7. Devour

4. Savory Oatmeal

Ingredients:

  • 1 packet of instant oats
  • Choice of seasoning: garlic salt, chicken salt (chicken stock cubes), lemon pepper (or a bit of each!)

Method:

1. Combine all your ingredients together with enough water to cover the top of the oatmeal.
2. Heat for approximately one minute, until the oatmeal is cooked.
3. Add sriracha/hot sauce (and cheese) on top.
4. Enjoy!

5. Cookies 'n' Cream Cake

Ingredients:

  • 5 1/2 tbsp flour
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 1/8 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 2 oreos

Method:

1. Mix all ingredients for the cake in an oversized mug except the oreos.
2. After the batter is smooth, crush the oreos into the batter with a metal spoon.
3. Cook for approximately 90 seconds in microwave.
4. Check on middle of cake by inserting a toothpick or knife. If it doesn't come out clean, cook for about 20 more seconds. Careful not to overcook your cake, or it may become rubbery.

*Microwave times may vary. It always helps to start from around 20 seconds and work your way up.*

ENJOY! :)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
