Default Six Ingredients or Less

I can hear Jersey Girl's groans through the Lincoln Tunnel because I've started a recipe thread!

I used to be a gourmet cook, but now I am only interested in very simple recipes with fewer than six ingredients.

I don't usually make such a processed meal, but we had this as part of brunch yesterday and it's delicious. If you want to temper the sweetness, serve it à la mode with low-fat frozen vanilla yogurt on top. Kids like it too.

DUMP CAKE (terrible name I know)

21 oz. can cherry pie filling
2 x 8 oz. cans of crushed pineapple
16-½ oz. box of yellow cake mix
Stick of marge or butter

Dump first two ingredients into 13x9 ungreased baking dish. Stir together. Sprinkle cake mix on top of the fruit. Thinly slice the stick of marge or butter and distribute evenly on top of the cake mix. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour until hot and bubbly. Four generous servings.

This recipe is in every fund raising cook book I have ever bought or been roped into selling in the past 23 years and I have never ever had any inclination to try this one at all. Box and canned goods thrown together just does not sound appetizing at all

If you don't want to hear honest responses, feel free to not open threads just for the sake of opening threads. Sometimes it's better to say nothing than post obnoxious bollocks that's been done 50,000 times before. The internet has been around for a while now.

Default Re: Six Ingredients or Less

It is something odd I noticed when I came here. I have a ton of cookery books covering all sorts of types of cuisine. I'm a crap cook, so every time I see something that looks decent, I buy the book thinking "this could be the turning point". It rarely is....................

When I started looking at cooking books/magazines here, I noticed that most of the recipes use 1 packet of this, 2 cans of that, 1 box of the other, rather than using actual fresh ingredients cooked from scratch. I'm sure there must be proper cooked from scratch cookery books out there, but they seem to be few and far between.

Four servings? Who exactly are you serving? Hippopotamuses?
