🤩 8 Ingredient (or Less) Recipes

Published 22 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

We all have “deal breaker” foods, right? I.e. ingredients that cause you to move on from a recipe if you see them in the dish?

For me, these are expensive or hard to find ingredients like pine nuts (which is why my homemade pesto recipe doesn’t call for them) or an item I know will sit in the pantry collecting dust after one use, like protein powder. (Again, why I don’t include it in this recipe!)

That said, the recipes I’m sharing today use everyday ingredients you can find at the regular grocery store, AND they call for just 8 or fewer of those everyday ingredients (minus salt and pepper because...it’s salt and pepper!)

From oven to skillet and crock pot recipes, these low-fuss meals are not only simple to cook, but totally tasty too!
