Hi, Tammy, this is not the first time I am visiting your blog. You always stand out. Many of the items you mention here are common, comparatively inexpensive but tasteful. Appreciated.
These recipes are amazing. I love the diet recipe for my diet, very light meal. I love to cook for my family. Bookmarking this blog post. Now I don’t need to make a weekly plan, will grab the recipes right from here. Thanks for sharing!
This is an amazing post, it was super helpful! I love a good soup, these sound very tasty even though they are only 5 ingredients. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Definitely have the month of April planned out for meals thanks to this post. Everything sounds so darn good!
These are all fantastic recipes. I would love to give each of them a try at some point in my life
I’m a working mommy. I would love to try out this 5 ingredients easy peasy recipe for my kids launch.
Wow everything looks so yummy, I wish i can try all these some day
I have actually cooked some of these recipes and they were all delicious, despite the fact that only 5 ingredients were used. My favorites are the beef stroganoff and the lemon chicken.
Great Post and lists. Many recipes to try out. They look delicious too!!!
Mexican brown rice? Meatball parmesan? You’re making me hungry! I’ll have to give some of these recipes a try this week now that the kids are home for Spring Break. They can be a bit picky and not like to repeat meals throughout the week.
I’m not big on cooking, but I think with only 5 ingredients, I could even manage that. The creamy chicken taco alfredo sounds yummie. This is all just making me hungry ha ha
These have my name all over them. Simple yet delicious and easy to make in a moments notice!
