10 Real 5-Minute Recipes
Crunched for time? A 5-minute recipe is a Godsend. Trouble is, lots of “5-minute Recipes” aren’t. Instead they are “5-minute prep time and 30 minute cook time recipes” or “30-minute prep time and 5-minute cook time recipes”, or 5 minute prep time and overnight in the refrigerator recipes”.
So I decided to take up the challenge of finding REAL 5-minute recipes: Recipes that are ready to eat in five minutes or less. Enjoy!

[...] week I lamented the fact that many so-called “five minute” recipes. . . aren’t: They may take five minutes to cook or to prepare, but they almost never are only five minutes [...]
