My newest cookbook, The Everything Quick and Easy, 30-Minute, 5-Ingredient Cookbook, is now available. This book was a labor of love, since I've fashioned myself a guru of quick recipes, especially those using five ingredients or less (and I know grammatically it's supposed to be 'fewer', but that just doesn't sound right).

The book doesn't count oil, water, flour, sugar, baking powder, or spices as ingredients. You, of course, could add more. Some chopped walnuts, raisins, or chocolate chips would be wonderful in this simple recipe.

Enjoy!
