5 Ingredient Recipes-Cookbook & Giveaway

I still cannot believe it, how has it been 2 years to the day (July 19th) since my cookbook Fast and Easy Five Ingredient Recipes: A Cookbook For Busy People was published and out in the world, available for sale? It feels so surreal and like a dream come true – still years after the fact!

Having a published cookbook was a dream of mind. A dream which turned into a reality.

Creating a cookbook was a lot of work, but a process I loved.

I look back and love the fact that I created all the recipes. I tested all the recipes. I photographed all the recipes. I wrote an entire manuscript!

But the thing is…none of this would have been possible without YOU, without your love of my Five Ingredient Friday recipes!

Thank you thank you THANK YOU for all for your support. I will say it a million times. Without you, the cookbook would not be what it is. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you. I love when you tag me on Instagram or use the #sweetphicookbook hashtag.

The cookbook contains over 100 recipes, all 5 ingredients or less, all with big beautiful photos (always my favorite part of cookbooks-speaking of which, here is a list of my favorite cookbooks) and it contains my favorite easy recipes for busy people (who isn’t busy? right?)

I truly believe this is a cookbook that everyone will enjoy!

Now that I’m a mom, I cannot tell you how much I use this cookbook!

Just yesterday I made the sun-dried tomato breakfast pizza (pg. 33) -we ate it for dinner! Oh, and I used my recipe for whole wheat pizza crust because I didn’t have a store bought one!

If you’re ever curious about how the cookbook was created, I have linked all the posts in a ‘Behind Making the Cookbook‘ on my cookbook page at the bottom.

Favorite 5 Ingredient Recipes:

Ummm…this is so hard because I love all the recipes SO much. But here are some of my ultimate faves, ones I make all the time, to name a few!

• Buttermilk pancakes (pg. 15) – make these on weekends all the time
• French toast casserole (pg. 17) – this recipe is very popular, perfect for brunch guests
• Crispy bacon and Brussels sprouts (pg. 46) – my husband requests these as a side dish all the time
• Cheesy leek dip (pg. 58) – this is kind of a signature party staple for me, it’s so good
• Mediterranean dip (pg. 63) – my fave last min dip, I just made this for Ben’s first birthday party!
• Beef dip sandwiches (pg. 92) – I’ve made these at least 3 times this year, perfect for parties, everyone loves them
• Sloppy Joe sandwiches (pg. 101) – right after I had Ben i made these all the time (see here for proof for favorites after first week at home with a newborn lol)
