These Jam Crumb Bars are loaded with butter, two kinds of jam and rolled oats! They're so easy to make but so hard to just eat one square.
If these Jam Crumb Bars came with a warning. It would read something like this.
"Eating one square of these here jam crumb bars may lead to inhaling more or all of said jam crumb bars".
They're really really good and just one of the recipes from my friend Philia Kelnhofer's new book, Fast and Easy Five Ingredient Recipes. Phi writes for her blog Sweetphi.com so she knows her food.
I know we live in a time where you can pull up a recipe on a computer, tablet or even your phone but there's something about an actual real paper version of a cook book that makes me excited to flick through it. Maybe that's why I have so many!
My father-in-law has a room in his house that is the home to hundreds of books and I always wondered why, but now I know because I'd totally do the same for my cook books. I look to them for inspiration when my brain dries up or for styling ideas when I'm shooting that blah brown burger.
Phi's book is the perfect concept for someone who wants to cook an awesome meal but might be tight on time. Each recipe requires only five ingredients but she still manages to pull off recipes like, Chicken Feta Tomato Pasta and Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Fudge!
I can see this book being one that never quite makes it back into the proper place on the shelf You know the one because you just keep using it and it gets covered in grease spots and hard pieces of dough and all the edges are curled up?
Yeah, a few of my favorite books are just like that.
I was provided with a copy of Fast and Easy Five Ingredient Recipes to review. All text and opinions are my own.
