Homemade gift ready in a jiffy
If your gift list is longer than your wallet is fat, cookbook author Gloria Hander Lyons has published a collection of single-serving mixes that work as homemade gifts recipients can bank in a mug in the microwave in two minutes.
Her cookbook, “Easy Microwave Desserts in a Mug,” has more than 80 single-serving mix recipes for desserts, breakfast treats and hot beverages that are prepared, cooked and served in the same mug. Among them: pecan pie, chocolate brownie, chocolate chip cookie and peach cobbler.
The mixes use common ingredients found at the supermarket. The mugs might be there, too. Just make sure they can hold at least 12 ounces (and are microwavable). Don’t forget to attach the cooking instructions.
Lyons cookbook information is online at www.BlueSagePress.com.
