Fast, easy and delicious recipes that use tops 5 ingredients tops.
In my new 5-Ingredient column, my goal is to share with YOU exactly how I cook. My most popular cookbook QUICK & KOSHER Recipes From The Bride Who Knew Nothing features glimpses into the story that is my life and my penchant for feeding my family, fast. Almost a decade later, my style hasn’t changed. My life has only gotten busier, my cooking faster, and my ingredients fewer.

My Blueberry and Cheese Quesadillas make for a lovely summer lunch. Filled with blueberries, sliced peaches, goat cheese, red onion and thyme you can savor them warm or at room temp. In Israel (or anywhere else for that matter) you can skip the blueberries and instead add sliced plums, strawberries or even pitted cherries.
