In a Mug

You guys. I've discovered something that could potentially be dangerous. It's the epitome of "Murica. 

Desserts in a mug. 

It's like taking all the "I'm too lazy" out of baking! All you need is a microwave and a small portion of the regular ingredients. 

Here are some of my favorites: 

This Chocolate Chip cookie in a cup from No. 2 Pencil sounds divine!

This chocolate peanut butter mug cake is killing me. 

This microwave cheesecake is great for when you don't want to ingest 23094823094 calories in one sitting. BUT it does require 60 minutes of cooling, in which case I might as well make a real cheesecake. 

This mocha brownie is the easiest thing ever. 

I couldn't leave without posting a red velvet cake. FAB. 

And of course, here is a directory of 57 tried and true mug cake recipes from Kirby's Cravings. 

Thank me later. 

Have you ever experimented with mug cakes? Do they actually live up to the hype?

I'm hungry. And you will be too!

Since it's the middle of summer, my friends and I have a lot more time to go out and eat all kinds of fun food- delectable desserts, fantastic fruits (Farmer's Market, anyone?), and just a ton of food. 

Obviously, we work out a lot more in the summer ;)

With all of this eating, planning to eat, etc, I've decided to start a food bucket list of sorts. 

Why not keep it all organized, right? So without further ado...

1. CREAM. 

Okay, technically I have tried this at UC Berkeley, but another one opened in Palo Alto and I want to compare!

Warm, fresh-baked cookies and storemade creamy ice cream. Have I sold you yet? 

2. Macarons. Just haven't tried 'em. They're also on my life bucket list. 

3. Black Bean Brownies

I think I might make some next weekend- watch out for a recipe post!

They're a healthy twist on brownies and supposedly delicious!

Has it hit you that I have a serious sweet tooth yet? 

4. Salvadorian Pupusas. 

Basically a Salvadorian calzone. 

So unhealthy I'm gonna die. 

tell me that doesn't look amazing. 

5. @pbeechie's (Instagram) La Tortilla healthy poptarts. 

Literally the most appetizing post-workout/late night dessert ever. 

That's what is on my immediate bucket list- This will definitely be a post series!

What is on your food bucket list? Anything that I should put on mine? Let me know in the comments below!
