Yummy Bits

It's all about quick and easy these days, right? I absolutely LOVE to cook...especially LOVE to bake (I'm known as the dessert queen around my family (I should be the queen with or without the desserts...Right??)) I'd say at least once a week (give or take) dinner will take an hour (or more) to cook. Food just taste so much better when you've taken time to cook it well, and blend all the flavors, and put a little love in it. But, come on, really? Who really has time for all that? Between work, spouse, kids, dogs, cats, etc...the list is endless...it's just not realistic to spend all that time in the kitchen! So, here's a few different types of recipes  (some under more categories than one) to choose from to help save time, money and energy. Enjoy!


5 Ingredients or less (or more...who knows...click to find out!)
You know how it works...salt, pepper, and water don't count as ingredients. (Personally, I think butter, sugar, and flour shouldn't be counted either...because what kitchen doesn't keep that stuff stocked...or, maybe that's just me?)
