Sure, you CAN eat anything out of a mug. But should you?

The Rules

In the Pinterest and DIY worlds, the ideal meal is both cute and single-serving. It's made in the microwave and served in a mug. Sometimes it even feels like the internet wants you to eat ALL your meals out of mugs. So, recently, that's what I decided to do.

For three days I would cleanse my body by eating only meals designed to be made in and consumed from a mug. I would embrace the mug lifestyle, become one with the mug. I browsed Pinterest and collected the most edible-looking mug meals I could find. Then, over the course of three days, I ate 12 different recipes to see if any of them tasted like the food they promised to be. Some of them were actually delicious. Others, not so much.

The VERY best recipes — the ones I inhaled despite their creepy non-food-like appearance — received the prestigious honor of the "actually good" award.
