1 Mug, 15 Microwaveable Meals

Take it from me and only buy instant oatmeal and grits. The first few days, I thought I could get away with my stove-top varieties, but the truth is you can't, unless you want to suffer through the gritty, undercooked grains . . .

As for toppings, raid your company's snacks. Our office has a nice selection of different nuts, dried fruit, etc. When I found myself really hungry, I went a little heavy on the toppings.
