Looking for a lite meal. Try one of these salads with a few ingredients that are perfect for a hot summer day.

  1. Oh yes, I would love to try every single one of these. I love meals that can be put together without using everything and then some. 5 ingredients are just perfect if you ask me.

  2. Potato-Crusted Pizza – Yum! It’s true that kids don’t usually like veggies too much, but who can say no to pizza?! 😀 Thanks for sharing

  3. 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.

  4. I’m a working mommy. I would love to try out this 5 ingredients easy peasy recipe for my kids launch.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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
