Midweek Microwave Meals

If you are already tired of eating in Marshbanks, then RA of Burkot, Veronica Hammond, has a solution for you.  At a program she did in Burkot, she taught students how to make five different meals in the microwave.  Veronica enjoys baking and finding new things to try on Pinterest, so she decided to share what she knows.  She made scrambled eggs, french toast, brownies, cheesecake, and mac n’ cheese.  Below are the recipes for each one:
