I’ve discovered a secret formula that I really must share with you. It would be selfish to keep this all to myself. You see, I recently realized that my chances of actually putting in the work to make delicious homemade food shoots up dramatically if the recipe has only a handful of ingredients.
5 ingredients = Done.
10 ingredients = Fine.
15 ingredients = Yes, but wine.
20 ingredients = Only if guests are involved.
You too or is it just me?
Most people assume that because I make rediculously delicious food (it’s true) and I blog about it too that I must really enjoy every second of my time in the kitchen. The reality is that I work a full time corporate job and have a husband and two little kids to spend time with too. So, by the end of the day my brain is like goo and when I pull out a recipe book my eyes glaze over.
Most of the time, I’m just in it for a quick win. Sure I’ll bust out the ingredient-heavy best ever Cincinnati Chili or that heavenly Carrot Cake when the craving strikes, but most days I’m content with a simple, no-fuss meal and, of course, some sort of sugar to end on a good note.
If you’re ready to hop aboard with me on the express route to dessert dreamland, I’ve got just the thing for you. My hand-designed Chic & Easy Desserts Recipe booklet. In it I share five of my favorite ultra-simple dessert recipes, all with five ingredients or less.
Print it. Save it. Cherish it. Pass it down to your kin.
