It’s that time again!

I’ve got another Meal for One recipe to share and I couldn’t be more excited about it!

I mean, our day is starting out with cheesy carbs. How about that for a Thursday?

Now, before I get into the specifics of this dish, let me throw a question out there. Do you use your microwave a lot? Silly question, but for me, it’s a necessity. I use my microwave all the time. All the time! I really don’t think I could live without it.

Besides the obvious use of reheating leftovers or frozen dinners, I often use my microwave to melt butter and chocolate, to heat up soup, water for tea or hot chocolate, or even to make scrambled eggs for one. I’m just too lazy when it comes to turning on the stove for that. Plus, using the microwave usually means there are less dishes to clean, and that’s always a winner in my book!

And if you remember this Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal in a Mug that I shared with you last month, you can see why using the microwave to whip up tasty dishes can be so easy, fun and delicious!
