How many times have you looked at a recipe and thought it looked great only to discover that the list of ingredients was a mile long and would cause even an Iron Chef to roll their eyes and stick a frozen pizza in the oven? Exactly.
Cooking doesnt have to be complicated and it can be delicious with only three ingredients or less.
