The most inconvenient brownie in a mug

May 5, 2025 2:47 PM

I love box brownies. They're so easy to make and they taste just as good as any gourmet brownie I've ever had at a bakery. But the problem with a whole box of brownie mix is that you end up with a whole tray of brownies, and unless I'm feeding a crowd, there is no way I need that many brownies at once. I end up eating way too many brownies in a few days, and I deeply regret it. So I set out to find a way for me to make a single serve brownie.

There are so many recipes for brownie in a mug already, but the problem with most of them is that you don't end up with a brownie. You end up with chocolate cake. And I want a fudgy consistency. I have made so so SO many attempts at this, and I've finally settled on a method that has way too many ingredients and is probably more work than box brownies. But I'm finally happy with it, and I have earned this brownie.

细姑's salmon

Okay, I don't have great photos (yet!), but what I do have is a recipe! I will show you one of my favorite ways to prepare salmon, which was originally introduced to me by my 细姑 (sort of pronounced "soy go"). She claims that she has since forgotten how she made this, which is why I need to make sure I've documented it!

Brussels sprouts, bacon, and onion

This is exciting. I am finally posting one of my own recipes on my food blog. Honestly, it's not much of a recipe. It just happens to be my go-to way of preparing brussels sprouts. But I google searched the title of this recipe to see if anyone had the same idea, and while there are a lot of variations on brussels sprouts, bacon, and onions, none were exactly like mine.
