25 of My Favorite 5 Ingredient Recipes

Apr 29, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Did you know that I have a whole section on my website of 5 ingredient recipes?  I love helping make mealtime easier and there is nothing more simple than a recipe that only requires 5 ingredients to complete!

I wanted to share my very favorite 5 ingredient recipes that I am loving right now – take a peak in each category and let me know what you’ll be making!

APPETIZERS, SIDES & OTHER

5 Ingredient Roasted Carrots (with feta and hot honey)

I’ve decided that adding hot honey on anything makes it distinctly better and these roasted carrots are no different.

5 Ingredient Elote Popcorn Recipe

The best snack that my husband, Nick, helped to create.  Elote popcorn is so simple and all you really need is an amazing Elote seasoning from Trader Joe’s

Easy Baked Brie Appetizer Recipe

You guys!  This recipe is just so amazing!  And, way less than 5 ingredients – it’s actually only 2 ingredients and so so easy to make.  Fair warning – you will eat the whole thing in a flash – it’s so delicious.

French Peasant Bread

If you’re intimidated about making bread, this is the recipe to start with.  It’s so simple and here’s why; it’s a no-knead bread recipe!  That’s right, you will get a delicious bread without any

The Best Easy Burger Seasoning Mix

Summer will be here before we know it and this seasoning mix is the only one you’ll need – a touch of sweet and plenty savory notes.

Jam Margaritas Recipe (Jamaritas)

All you need is tequila, lime and jam to make this amazingly simple margarita.  Just mix all of the ingredients up and shake or stir for a fun twist on a margarita – a Jam-a-rita!

BREAKFAST

5 Ingredient Broccoli Egg Breakfast Bowls Recipe

Starting your day with protein is always a good choice.  This breakfast bowl is super simple and packed with essentials to start your day off right.

Homemade Iced Salted Honey Latte Recipe

Try saving a few dollars on take-out coffee by making your latte at home.  They are much easier than you think and perfect for summer (hello iced latte!)

5 Ingredient Vegetable Frittata

This frittata recipe is an easy way to throw in any vegetables you have on-hand for a healthy breakfast that you can prep ahead of time.  Prepping breakfast is the best so you’re not rushed in the morning.

5 Ingredient French Toast Sticks

A fun way to enjoy breakfast, topped with a touch of cinnamon and sugar.  A great dish for kids and adults alike!

Vitamin C Boost Smoothie Recipe {Orange Mango Pineapple Smoothie}

We could all use some extra vitamin c in our days and a tropical smoothie is the perfect way to get an extra boost.

LUNCHES & DINNERS

5 Ingredient Cheesy Beef and Noodle Casserole

A perfectly cozy dinner for these Spring days where it’s still a bit chilly at night.

Lasagna is always a family favorite meal, but feels like it’s truly a labor of love.  This skillet lasagna solves that problem and results in a meal the family will still love – just like a traditional lasagna!

5 Ingredient Pineapple Pork Chops Recipe

Pork is a great, affordable meat option and this recipe screams of summer.  You’ll enjoy sweet and savory notes in this simple dinner.

5 Ingredient Crispy Cheesy Air Fryer Chicken Dinner Recipe

I love cooking in the Air Fryer and this recipe is exactly why.  The chicken gets a beautiful crisp on the outside while remaining juicy and tender on the inside.

5 Ingredient Mexican Shredded Beef and Beef Tostadas

If you need a taco Tuesday recipe with only 5 ingredients, these tostadas are a great option.  Plus, in this post, you’ll learn how to make a flavorful shredded beef and how to quickly assemble them into a beef tostada.

5 Ingredient Vegetarian Sushi Bowls Recipe

A great vegetarian dish that is made with tofu (that is so yummy) and comes together super quickly.  Something we can all get behind, especially on those busy weeknights.

5 Ingredient Ginger Teriyaki Salmon and Green Beans Recipe

Healthy and full of flavor, this dish only takes 15 minutes to complete!  So get ready to make it on repeat.

5 Ingredient Beef and Pepper Ramen Recipe

It is absolutely possible to take a simple packet of ramen and make it into a great meal and this beef and pepper ramen is a great example!

5 ingredient Chicken Gnocchi with Alfredo Pesto

This dinner is warm, comforting and family friendly.  Plus, you can make it ahead of time and freeze it for an easy dinner anytime you need a quick meal.

5 Ingredient Healthy Pasta for Meal Prep Lunches

If you can find an extra 30 minutes for meal prep, give this recipe a try.  Plus, the post shares a few other great meal prep options.

5 Ingredient Instant Pot Beer Brats Recipe

Great for game day or any day you’re looking for a super simple dinner.  Making brats in an Instant Pot is quick and gives you that delicious beer brat taste any time of year.

DESSERT

5 Ingredient Peanut Butter and Jelly Sundae

This dessert is so much fun for the kids (and adult too!).  It’s a super easy strawberry ice cream treat and you’ll also learn how to make your own magic shell to top your sundae!

5 Ingredient Blueberry Skillet Dump Cake

I make this recipe on repeat and it’s especially great when blueberries are fresh.  Plus all you have to do is really just dump everything in a bowl to mix, then in the skillet and bake!

5 Ingredient Peanut Butter Nutella Bars

I’m not sure you can name a better combination than peanut butter and Nutella.  These bars are a great dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Here are my November 5 star books: Mrs Nash’s A Here are my November 5 star books:
Mrs Nash’s Ashes by @sarahadlerwrites  I did not want this lovely book to end! The characters had such great chemistry and it was overall such a good romance.”A starry-eyed romantic, a cynical writer, and (the ashes of) an elderly woman take the road trip of a lifetime that just might upend everything they believe about true love.”
Will They Or Won’t They by @avawilderwrites Such a cute story and I loved the ending, was not expecting it to end the way it did with the little twist. “Onscreen, they’re in love. Offscreen, they can’t stand each other. From the author of How to Fake It in Hollywood comes “a sexy lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romance that smolders then bursts into flames”
Flying Solo @lindaholmes97  @justjuliawhelan narrates - she’s my fave narrator. This was such a fun audiobook, there were parts that had me loling and it was a unique love story, I thoroughly enjoyed it. “A woman returns to her small Maine hometown, uncovering family secrets that take her on a journey of self-discovery and new love, in this warm and charming novel from the NYT bestselling author of Evvie Drake Starts Over.”
The Lost Bookshop @evie.gaughan This was such a lovely cozy read with a touch of whimsey, I really loved the story. “The Keeper of Stories meets The Lost Apothecary in this evocative and charming novel full of mystery and secrets. ‘The thing about books,’ she said ‘is that they help you to imagine a life bigger and better than you could ever dream of.’ On a quiet street in Dublin, a lost bookshop is waiting to be found…”
