We have finally made it to the end of the hectic busy week, and the last thing anybody would want to do is spend hours in the kitchen, hovering over the stove to prepare a meal.
Ditch the pots and pans, we have got you covered.
These three delicious, easy and super-quick meals can be cooked in your microwave in just a few minutes.
We know, it sounds quite ridiculous but it is true. You can create your own pizza in minutes in a mug using your microwave.
Patrick Zeinali has taken to TikTok to share his easy pizza mug recipe. In the video, he begins by throwing in four tablespoons of all-purpose flour, an eighth of a teaspoon of baking powder, sixteenth teaspoons of baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
He then mixes all those dry ingredients together before adding three tablespoons of milk and one tablespoon of olive oil.
Finally, he mixes all the ingredients together, adds a top layer of pizza sauce all around the dough mix, and then sprinkles some mozzarella cheese and pieces of pepperoni.
Once he is done he pops the mug into the microwave for about two minutes to create the pizza in the mug.

They then add a quarter tablespoon of vanilla extract, and then two-and-a-half tablespoons of sugar before mixing everything together.
Lastly, they add a quarter cup of flour, two tablespoons of cocoa powder, a pinch of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, and then mix everything together, before popping the mug into the microwave for one minute.
