How many ingredients does a recipe need to “qualify” as a real recipe? 3? 4? 6? When I started food blogging, I didn’t know there was such a thing as a minimum on ingredient numbers to “count” as a “real” recipe.

Then, I started realizing, who cares about a recipe’s qualifications? All I want to do is share the best, easiest recipes for my readers. And guess what? Y’all loved ‘em!

One of my favorite recipe types to share are quick & easy 3 ingredient recipes. Y’all love making (and eating) them, and I love creating (and also eating) them. 🙂 In my Top 20 recipes for 2019 alone, there are seven, count ‘em, seven 3 ingredient recipes!

There are low carb 3 ingredient recipes, vegan 3 ingredient recipes, gluten free 3 ingredient recipes, keto 3 ingredient recipes and more! So are you ready to enjoy all of the quick & easy 3 ingredient recipes today? Let’s do this!
