When you cut right to the chase, the best way to save time in the kitchen is to limit the number of ingredients you use. That automatically limits the time you spend measuring, washing, chopping, stirring, and grating for any recipe. This collection of more than 400 five ingredient recipes proves the point - and they're all delicious too.

Of course, you can certainly add more ingredients to any recipe, as your tastes, budget, and time allows. In fact, that's an excellent way to expand your repertoire - look through your favorite five ingredient recipes and see how many you can make your own with the judicious addition of an ingredient or two.

Enjoy these recipes and spend less time in the kitchen this week and forever!
