📝 Mug Meals Saved My Mornings

I discovered this recipe during a stint of chaotic mornings—when making toast felt like a time commitment. I wanted something more satisfying than cereal but less work than a stovetop breakfast. This little mug became my MVP: throw everything in, zap it, stir, zap again—done. Now I make it for lunch or dinner too when I’m low on time and energy.
