And don't forget about the 1 egg omelet!! When they first came out this was a tip shared at a cluster meeting. Beat 1 egg in the bowl then add a smidge of meat and a smidge of cheese (or whatever filling you want) then microwave the bowl (without the lid) for one minute. Perfectly cooked personal omelet. My sons did this all the time!! If they were hungry for a little more or late for school they could make some toast and have it as a sandwich.

People LOVE that tip!! I LOVE the prep bowls also!! Oh yea, share the mini-cakes!!! Mix in a gallon size bag 1 box of cake mix and 1 box of instant pudding mix. They can leave that in the pantry for about 6 months or so (longer more than likely). When they want some cake they will scoop out 1/2 cup of the mix then add 1 egg, 1 tbls water and oil. Mix well in bowl then microwvave between 60 and 90 seconds depending on the wattage of their microwave!

I share those 2 tips everytime I talk about the Prep Bowls. These are GOTTA HAVE items!!! You have to have at least 1 set. Six is a good starter! They do not need less!!
 
I have four sets; sometimes even THAT isn't enough. I make large batches of things, then freeze them. They're great for oatmeal, pancake mix, applesauce, cut up fruit, etc. It's a great way to portion your food!!!
 
here's another fun variation to the personal omelet.
Line the bottom of the dish with 1 slice Canadian bacon
put that one beaten egg on it, and microwave one minute,.One of my cabinets is full of various prep bowls, PC and otherwise.Marghi
