Congratulations to our winner – Rachel! You’re going to LOVE this recipe book! 
Several weeks ago, Kylie and I decided to make a cake in the microwave… just for fun. We googled a random recipe, followed it step by step, and it turned out to be a huge FLOP!
Ironically, a few days after, I stumbled upon an opportunity to review a Microwave Mug Recipe Book that was actually featured on Rachel Ray!! I actually requested to review the Gluten Free version as I know there is a growing need for alternative snacks for those in need of special diets, these days. The awesome thing about this cookbook, is that it’s great resource for a quick snack for kiddos of all ages (and their parents) who may be on a gluten free diet!
The author, Stacey Miller, already had a book out called 101 Recipes for Microwave Mug Cakes, and she had such a wonderful response from reader, but readers also posed a fantastic question.
From the site:
Our readers’ enthusiastic reactions to our microwave mug cakes motivated us to reach beyond the original concept. We sensed a theme. Readers kept saying, “These recipes are wonderful, but are there more healthful alternatives? And is it possible to bake gluten-free microwave mug cakes?”
So, the gluten free version was born!
The great thing about these recipes is that it’s so easy to do that your little ones, with a little guidance, can make these fun little cakes, and your preteens can do it by themselves!
If you homeschool your kiddos, this is a great home economics project, as well! Kylie is looking forward to her next party or sleep over so that she and her friends can make, and decorate, some really cool, personal cakes!
Kylie making a Chocolate Almond Microwave Mug Cake (Gluten Free) minus the almond slivers, because the boys wanted only chocolate!
How can you go about getting your very own recipe book?
Buy It! You can buy either the original cookbook OR the gluten free version.
Win it! Stacey Miller has offered to give one my my readers their very own copy of this cookbook!
WIN IT!

Mine would be “everyone wants a different flavor” because we never agree on food in my house.
My favorite thing to cook in the microwave is bacon
I have never cooked anything in the microwave
Because of the time of year, I’d probably give this away as a gift…maybe a stocking stuffer for my oldest who is in college.

My favorite reason is •it’s too cold to go out and buy something.
I use this excuse way too often.
My favorite thing to cook in the microwave is cans of soup. It’s pretty much all I use my microwave for besides occasionally defrosting meat.
I have never cooked a cake in the microwave.
I would keep this for my family. I think we’d work our way through it this winter.

I my favorite time is the “when it’s too cold to go out and buy something”!
My favorite thing to cook in the micorwave is leftovers- although maybe that counts more as reheat in the microwave rather than cook?
I have never cooked a cake my microwave- although I have attempted it:)
I think I would give this to my family, although I’ll probably be the one taking shifts by the microwave pulling out cakes;)
