I love simple 3 ingredient recipes. Cooking has never been something I love to do (or even like, to be honest). So I want to get in and get out with as little effort as possible. Ha!
If you’re like me you will love this collection of 3 ingredient dinner recipes and desserts. You’ll probably also love The Can’t Cook Meal Planner — my go-to for easy dinners that require zero prep work.
