3. Lazy Girl’s Chocolate Mug Cake
Warning: life before this will seem dull.
In less than 5 minutes, this rich, fudgy mug cake comes together in the microwave with pantry staples. It’s dangerously easy and insanely satisfying.
Pro Move: Add a spoonful of peanut butter in the center before microwaving for an oozy core.
4. Sheet Pan Gnocchi & Veggies
Me: “Gnocchi in the oven?” Also me: “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”
Toss store-bought gnocchi with cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and olive oil, roast until golden, then finish with parmesan and fresh basil. The gnocchi gets crispy on the outside while staying fluffy inside—total texture heaven.
Hack: Don’t boil the gnocchi first—just toss and roast!
I had no idea I was missing out on this kind of flavor and ease in the kitchen. If you’re feeling even a little bit “out of the loop,” these recipes are your fast track back in. No fuss, just seriously good food.
