Greetings people!


It’s that time of year… busy busy busy! Some are wrapping up with finals, some people are moving. Mother’s Day, May Day, Arbor Day, Fishing opener…

Everybody wants to be outside.


Who has time to sit in the kitchen? Thus, I bring you some of my favorite super fast, minimal ingredient, and one-pot small meals/ large snacks. Rachel Ray has time for 30 minutes. Well, sometimes I don’t. Soo…


Meri’s Mad Dash Madcap Meals


1. Tortilla + Nuked Sweet Potato mash+ Salsa. A quesadilla! shredded cheese optional  = 3 ingreds!


2. Oatmeal- The most obvious of blogger staples, but it really can be a super fast meal, especially if you use quick oats + stir-in


Stir ins?
-cereal, millet puffs, peanut butter, cookies, chocolate chips, flax seed, crumbled muffin, granola, yogurt, sunflower seeds, nuts, pumpkin, berries, blah blah blah blaaahhhh. =2 ingreds at minimum, endless possibilities!
