Thanks for this! I’m moving across the country soon and I’ll be unemployed for a little while. Really need ways to save money on food and this will definitely help!
I love 5 ingredient recipes! I think 5 is a magic number somehow. I recently wrote about Jamie Oliver’s latest book, which offers some really lovely combinations with only 5 ingredients (plus the odd red wine / olive oil / salt / pepper additions).
OMG this is so exciting, thank you Jenny! I am always looking for really easy dinners to cook on the sailboat. It’s amazing how much money you can save doing this. I can’t wait to try some of these. Pinned for future reference 🙂
What an incredible collection of recipes! I love that you included a picture for every single one. I hate when I go to a round-up post and have to click-through to see what the recipe looks like. Bravo on a great post! Pinning for later!
I’m all about simple recipes – these look great!
WOW! This post is filled with so much awesomeness and foodie eye candy! I can literally spend an entire afternoon just browsing these fabulous 5-ingredient recipes. Thank you so much for this incredible collection of delicious recipes. 🙂
Pinning this because I’m totally in a meal-planning rut! I’ll be looking this over in fine detail before I do our grocery shopping this weekend!
I love recipes like this, that keep my grocery lists short and sweet! And I like that a lot of these recipes are using the same ingredients in different ways.
thanks for putting this guide together! I’m pinning it for later!!
This is a massive recipe round-up, as a fellow blogger I can imagine the amount of work and dedication that went into researching all the recipes, linking, making all the graphics…. Kudos to you!
Also… thank you so much for including so many meatless options 🙂
I love that you have them separated into groups by meat type/veggie etc. I and going to comb through these…I love simple recipes 🙂
