L ike a lot of people, I am busy and dinner is often a last-minute decision. I am someone who needs to budget each month, and although I love spending time in the kitchen, there are other things that take priority over cooking. I dont like to eat out very often and dont particularly like frozen food, so I still want something homemade. Something delicious. Preferably mouth-watering. I have spent time searching and adjusting recipes that are quick, simple, and frugal, so I still spend some time in the kitchen, but spend more time with my family, friends, and some time for my other hobbies.

That sounds pretty easy, right? Compiling recipes that fit into all of those categories wasnt easy. It was time consuming. I searched. I experimented. I tweaked. I kept track. Then I compiled them and realized it may be a good idea to share what I found.

One thing that I found was that a lot of these recipes that met my picky qualifications had some type of canned soup in them. Once I tried a few and liked them, I started searching with recipes that had soups as an ingredient. The results were startling.

In this book you will find 40, 5-ingredient recipes that will make your life easier, your wallet happy, and your stomach full.

I magine this: You have a newborn and love cooking. You appreciate the frozen dinners - which all seem to be similar - but would still prefer to prepare on your own even though you and your growing family have only been home for a few days. Your pantry is filled with the basics and you look up a recipe with something you are craving - maybe its chicken. The recipe you skim has a mouth-watering description and the picture lures you in. The ingredients include cream of mushroom, but you have never really used those condensed soups, and you know you dont have any.

But your appetite is growing and youve set your mind on this dish. You open Google, right on your phone and type in chicken casserole without condensed mushroom soup - and you get an immediate hit, because, lets face it, the think machine we call Google is smart and has all the answers. You have five almost exact hits within .035 seconds, and you click on the top choice. It has 4 more ingredients than the recipe that has the old fashion cream of mushroom soup your grandmother used to cook her comfort food. You have all the ingredients of this new recipe and you start prepping this 4 star dish.

When the dish is done, your house smells like heaven, and your tiny baby who wont know what solid foods are for almost 6 months falls asleep. You can breathe. You devour the dish. Because you are hungry. Because you have a moment without a little one on your chest. Because you went to the kitchen and made dinner for your growing family.

The food is good, but its not great. You are disappointed, but stick the recipe in your binder - your scrap cookbook.

A few weeks later you head to the grocery store to restock the cabinets. As you make your way to the soup aisle, you see the cream of mushroom soup. You could have picked it out with your eyes closed. You think about your recipe. You think about how you were let down. You grab a can off the shelf and decide you will try the recipe as you first found it.

L ets face it: we often think of or find a recipe last second. Or we are in a rush. We want a good meal, not take-out, not delivery. Going to the store only makes the idea of cooking more daunting. It makes it more likely to choose take-out. Having a stocked pantry, spice rack, fridge, and freezer can help a lot of that indecision and last minute trips to the store. Here are some suggestions to have on hand.

H appy hour and a beer. Football games and a snack. Restaurant appetizer. Nachos are a great appetizer or snack for all occasions. One of the best things about nachos is that they can be tailored to their consumer. Sometimes I like to add corn kernels or banana peppers to mine. Sometimes chilli is a great addition. It is really all up to you. Take this recipe as a base and make it your own. Share your nachos with someone!
