Many have requested it so now I’m making it happen… simple, quick, and easy recipes using 5 ingredients or less!!! Every now and then a girl needs a quick little fix because she simply doesn’t have time to pull a long list of ingredients and/or equipment together. The ideas I want to share will allow you to eat delicious food using minimal ingredients, have little to no prep work, and will be just as yummy and satisfying as more elaborate dishes & treats!
Today, I am kicking off my “Under 5” series with these strawberry meringues! I made these sweet little treats last week and thought they were too fun & adorable to not share! Such an easy and healthy goody to make for your kiddos, your Valentine, or even a special event. These would look so cute packaged up in a little plastic bag then tied with some bakers twine or ribbon! You could even make small gifts using inexpensive holiday boxes from your local craft store.
