The New York Times published a recipe for guacamole that included peas...and the internet firmly, and resoundingly, responded: NO.It may have even bridged our country's huge political chasm:  President Obama tweeted his disdain, and Jeb Bush agreed too!

While I'd totally throw down a bucket of pea guac, here at the Morning Rush, we prefer things simple too.

One of my favorite recipes for Fourth of July (or any summertime party) is the watermelon/feta salad.  It's got five ingredients, and every time I've made it, it's pretty well-received!

  • 6 cups cubed watermelon
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Toss it all in a bowl, and enjoy!  If ya wanna get all fancy, add some torn mint! (But that brings you to six ingredients, obviously)
We asked for your last minute, less-than-five-ingredient recipes:
  • Stacey from Tonawanda said she combines a box of angel food cake mix and a can of pineapple, bakes it for 30 minutes at 400, and tops it with whipped cream and berries.  Dessert:  done.
  • Mike from Buffalo melts a package of white chocolate chips in the microwave (do it at 30 second increments, stirring in between, until melted), crushes up a package of Oreos and tosses with the melted chocolate, spreads on a sheet pan and chills in the fridge.  Then break it apart with a butter knife and ya basically have Cookies'n'Cream Hershey's bar.  In minutes.
Do you have any 5-ingredients-or-less, last minute recipes to share?
