In today's world everyone is in a hurry. It's no wonder we stop off at the fast food places for dinner and are cooking less and less. This lens will offer places to go for quick and easy recipes that use fewer ingredients and hopefully will save you time so that you can cook healthy and nutritious meals for your family. Please rate my lens and feel free to contact me with suggestions or comments. "Happy Cooking!"
Check out my companion lens, "Vegetarian Recipes with 5 or Less Ingredients."

Mommie, can I help?
Of course it would be faster and easier to clean up if the answer was NO when your child asks this question. Try letting them help and see what happens. Kids will usually eat what they helped cook and that could lead to good eating habits. Even the little ones can set the table or wash veggies. It's also an opportunity to get them out from in front of the T.V. and to spend quality time together. Try it! It could be rewarding for you as well as them.Enjoy!
