Five Must-Try 5 Ingredient Recipes

Easy Meal Solutions That Won't Have You Bogged Down with a Grocery List
Filed Under > Worth Noting

I am what you’d call ambitious about cooking.  I grew up eating my mother’s amazing homemade food, and we gathered around the dinner table every night to enjoy it.  I have big plans for my own cooking skills, though I have quite some ways to go.  Seeing so much tasty food on here (and pinning of course) only makes me dream bigger, too!  And of course you already know my feelings about salads

The hardest thing about bringing my cooking dreams to life—and I think you’ll agree with me—is having all of the ingredients on hand…well after I acquire all of these kitchen essentials too.  I find myself cooking the same dish twice in a few days sometimes simply because of what the recipe calls for.  Well no more, friends, no more.  I’ve recently been on a mission to find easier, more approachable recipes that require less ingredients.  Click through the slideshow above to find five must-try (I mean MUST-try) 5 ingredient recipes.  What should I add to the list?  Cheers, Kat

Vegan Broccoli Salad with Cauliflower, Green Onions, Cranberries & Peanuts

An Incredibly Simple Raw, Vegan Salad to Enjoy Any Day of the Week
Filed Under > 30 Minute Meals

Easy broccoli salad recipe via Waiting on Martha Vegan Broccoli Salad with Cauliflower, Red Onions, Peanuts & Cranberries - Waiting On Martha Vegan Broccoli Salad with Cauliflower, Red Onions, Peanuts & Cranberries - Waiting On Martha

You know those nights when you want to eat something super easy, but don’t want to sacrifice taste? Those nights tend to creep up at the end of the week in the Rye household, when we’re winding down from the results of Sunday’s meal prep.  But do not fret, I’ve perfected a simple, healthy and fresh broccoli salad recipe that always hits the spot.

No cooking or roasting is needed here; the raw broccoli and cauliflower retain their fresh-from-the-earth flavor (all pre-chopped if you caught this post).  A sprinkle of unsalted peanuts, because by now you know I always need that crunch!  You can use red or green onions , and I usually prefer the latter when making this broccoli salad at home.  And dried cranberries give the salad a subtle sweetness, while offering an additional texture to each perfect bite. Lastly, an incredibly easy dressing ties it all together: red wine vinegar, Veganaise (or sub in mayonaise or miracle whip, whatever works) and a pinch of organic sugar

This easy broccoli salad can be prepared in less than 15 minutes, and it serves as a great fresh side that’s anything but boring. And just an FYI…it tastes even better the next day.  Enjoy!  Truly, MKR

5 Smart Ways to Save Money Online Shopping

Easy Tips to Get the Most Bang for Your Buck When Buying Online
Filed Under > Everyday

Let’s just say that I consider myself a pro at online shopping thanks to my job working for a blog. (I’ve also become well-versed at selling clothes online.) While surfing the web daily, I’ve picked up a few tricks and I have learned several smart ways to save money while scoring great clothing finds.

Granted, the buy-more-save-more sales still always get my attention, but I’ve learned to implement a bit of strategy and self-restraint in order to save money online shopping. These five simple tips go beyond the spend-more-to-save mentality, and instead help gauge how much you really do need those distressed boyfriend jeans (I say always), as well as if they’re going to be a true wardrobe staple for years to come. You know I’m big on wardrobe staples (discussed here, here and most importantly here). Click through the slideshow to read more. Cheers, Kat
