5-Ingredient Recipes

Sometimes simplest truly is best. These 5-ingredient (or less!) recipes need just a handful of ingredients...but you'd never know it by their taste. My favorites? These 2 ingredient bagels and 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies. If you want good food without the long grocery list, you're in the right place.
