Product Description
Second Edition, which has 80 single-serving mix recipes for desserts, breakfast treats and hot beverages that are prepared, cooked & served in a mug in less than 5 minutes, like chocolate brownie, pecan pie & peach cobbler. The mixes that require eggs, like brownies & cakes, are made using egg white powder, found on the baking aisle at grocery stores, or meringue powder, found at discount stores or craft stores on the cake decorating aisle. Just add butter or margarine and/or water to the mix, then microwave for about 2 minutes. Stir up a mix anytime you want a treat, or make them ahead of time & store in plastic bags for later use. They're perfect for today's on-the-go families, seniors, singles, college dorm students & RV travelers. They also make fun cooking projects for kids & unique gifts, like "Birthday Cake in a Mug". They're easy, quick & delicious! Read the general cooking directions and try some of the recipes at www.BlueSagePress.com. Third Edition also available with over 100 mix recipes.

 Terrific Book October 14, 2009

This is full of great recipes. Many to choose from. I bought it originally because I want to make up mixes and give for Christmas gifts, but after receiving it I realize it is going to be so simple to whip up a little goodie for myself when I really want something. That way I wont make a whole batch of brownies and eat more than needed or have some go to waste. The book includes more than cookies or cakes. It also has candy, pies, puddings, sauces, fruit breads, muffins, coffee cakes, tea, hot chocolate, coffee. So it has a little of everything. So you could make everyone one recipe or two the first year and then something different the next. Great idea for those you just don't know what to do something for.
I bought this book and the one for Kids. The kids one is like a smaller version of this book with only 2 receipes that weren't already in here. One was sugar plum cake and the other was almond peach bread. Although this book does have amaretto peach bread, so very close. I recommend this book and not need the other unless you would like to give the book with a mug as a gift.
Another thing I found is that I didn't have any trouble finding the ingrediants. There are two that you probably wouldn't have in your cupboards and need to purchase like powder egg whites and powder vanilla. I used the tip from another review and used coffee creamer in vanilla flavor for the powder vanilla (although in the recipes it does say optional). I can purchase the powder egg white from places online as well as at stores in my own town.
Another helpful thing is, when I went looking for mugs, I found it was rather easy to find ones that say they are microwave safe for a good price. Now if you purchase the books that you bake your goodies in a mug (that is another series I found on amazon) it was harder to find ones that said oven safe and they were more expensive then the ones that were safe for just microwave.
Quick, easy, and good June 24, 2009

I've been doing small batch baking for a while. The problem spot is usually in the egg - less than a whole egg is messy and wasteful, no egg makes for poor texture. These recipes solve that problem by using powdered egg whites (readily available in most grocery stores). The other unusual ingredient called for is vanilla powder. If you're baking for yourself, you can just use regular flavoring. For make-ahead mixes, vanilla coffee creamer is a readily available substitute. Every recipe I've tried so far has been very good.
Yum! July 7, 2009

I bought these for all my friends and family last Xmas. Tuck inside of a large mug or soup cup for a great gift, especially fabulous for someone living alone. Wish I'd had this book in college. Recipes are easy to follow and become addictive. This is perfect in my household since I have a serious sweet tooth, and my husband does not. Sometimes you want brownies, but not a whole panful! One minor drawback is that most recipes call for powdered vanilla which is not available at grocery stores. Not a big deal if you're making desserts for yourself, but it is if you're making dry mixes to give as gifts. Enjoy!
Buy this one! December 16, 2008

This is a great little book for gift mixes or snacks at home. The brownie recipe is so good. What is nice about this book is that you don't start with a cake mix.
Great! January 7, 2009

I tried a recipe I found online from this book of a chocolate chip cookie in a mug and was so impressed! I was hooked! I rushed to buy this book, eating coffee cake in a mug while doing it ;-) at a great price. These are fun to make and great gifts.
