On December 26, 2023 by Once a Month Meals

Please tell us we’re not the only ones whose freezer has been running low on freezer meals.

It’s witching hour and I’m contemplating another glass of wine or another cup of coffee and wondering how we’re going to feed all these hungry people (including ourselves). So we stand in the kitchen and sip our beverage of choice while scrolling Pinterest for EASY four or five-ingredient recipes –– hopefully, and preferably ones we already have ingredients for! Anybody else?

Since we’ve been there and we know what it’s like, we decided to help and round up 101 Four and Five Ingredient recipes for you!

The best part is they are ALL freezer-friendly so you can plan a cooking day and hopefully won’t end up hopeless in the kitchen with a glass of wine!
