The 5-ingredient Meals You Need to Get the Week Going

It’s Monday and you can’t be bothered. Who can blame you? The first day of the work week brings with it a unique brand of lethargy. Small tasks feel insurmountable, and cobbling together any kind of dinner this evening is, to say the least, a daunting prospect. But you don’t give up that easily! And Monday-night meals don’t have to drain you. Rely instead on quick, simple recipes that require no more than five ingredients (plus freebies like olive oil and S&P). These are the dinners you can make with what you already have—and with the energy you don’t.
