I like to encourage families to eat at home as often as possible. Because when they do, kids experience belonging, do better in school, are more settled emotionally, learn appropriate food-serving sizes, and figure out how to take a part in conversationall while eating around the table.So your life is full, but you want to cook?
Were all trying a lot. We want to eat healthy. We prefer natural food straight from the garden, orchard, and butcher shop.
We look suspiciously at processed foods and read the labels before putting anything into our grocery carts. The recipes in this book use only natural, honest, wholesome, basic ingredients. With full-on flavor. No canned soups, no processed meats, no cake mixes, no stabilizers. I recommend organic ingredients whenever possible. Many of us are short on confidence in the kitchen.
How do we know a dish will turn out well? Five-ingredient recipes are super-convenient. No fancy techniques. No breath-holding moments when you wonder if youre up to the job. These easy-to-prepare recipes make it possible for you and yours to eat at home. Regularly. Each of these recipes calls for only 5 ingredients.
Heres how I calculate that: Water doesnt count. Salt and pepper count as one ingredient. Optional ingredients dont count. If a recipe is for a sauce, the base you serve it over doesnt count. Most of us live over-full lives. Who has time to cook? I know.
Which is why I present nearly all of these 140+ recipes with 2 cooking methods. You choose the one that fits your day. Slow cookers and electric pressure cookers are convenient, but in opposite ways: If you havent thought about what to make until its dinner-time, good chance youll reach for your electric pressure cooker. Its a dream for last-minute cooking. If you have thought ahead, you may have put the ingredients for your dinner in your slow cooker in the morning when the house is still peacefully quiet. The food cooks for hours on its own, and when its time to eat, you lift the lid and call everyone to the table.
And sometimes you just prefer the flavor of an oven-roasted dish, or one youve steamed on the stove top or in the microwave. Whatever your schedule, nearly every one of these recipes lets you choose which cooking method best fits your day! Welcome to 5-Ingredient Natural Recipes. Where youll cook with naturally flavorful ingredients. Enjoy easy prep because youre working with only 5. Made whichever way suits your schedule. So what are you waiting for?! One more thingI invited some friends who are really good home cooks to join me in offering 5-ingredient natural recipes that they make.
And they did! Youll see their names at the top of the recipes they and their families and friends love. Youre joining a community when you cook from this book!
