This is the culmination of hundreds of mug cake attempts... what I have personally found to have the perfect amount of sweetness and texture while still remaining low calorie. Unlike most mug cake recipes, it's not gummy. It's vegan and oil free!

Apple-Oatmeal Muffins
This recipe for apple-oatmeal muffins is great for a quick breakfast. I also pack them in lunch boxes instead of cookies. Thanks to the apples, they become even more moist the next day.
Gluten-Free Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
I modified my mother's chicken and sausage gumbo recipe to make it gluten-free. Good gumbo is hard to find for my friend with a wheat allergy. The wheat flour roux is the key ingredient for any gumbo. After experimenting with a few gluten-free alternatives, I find that a light brown millet flour roux thickens the gumbo and gives an excellent taste nearly equal to wheat flour. Most people won't notice the difference.
