If you’re anything like me you are extremely tired of your college’s dining hall food. I have been searching for low-cost ways of avoiding the dining hall for a healthy breakfast, an indulgent lunch, and a delicious dinner, and I have finally found the answer: meals in a mug.  There are many different microwavable meals to choose from, these just happen to be my personal favorites.
