Certain recipes rise to the top because they are the best recipes in their category, and you say:
The search is over!
These are the recipes I fall back on that my family loves.
I don't see the point of eating yucky food, so I discard any nasty recipes, and only keep the winners.
These recipes have a few more steps & ingredients, so they can't officially be called "easy recipes" but my philosophy of easy & simple still applies.
Living in the Philippines and its lack of "convenience" foods forces me to make foods from scratch. It really isn't that hard, and it's so much cheaper.
