Celebrating December 1

What’s the best way to celebrate the start of December — or the first day of any month? Treat yourself to a microwave mug cake, of course. In honor of the Christmas season, you might want to choose a microwave mug cake that’s red (you’ll find several of those in the book, but my favorite is the Cherry Pomegranate Microwave Mug Cake) and add a green topping (say, vanilla frosting with a dash of green food coloring mixed in or even a tablespoon or two of pistachio pudding). Yum! I’m making myself hungry, and it’s not even ten o’clock in the morning!
