"Easy"

I think "easy" is a word that is thrown around lightly in the cooking world. Perhaps, each recipe should be tested with two little ones "helping" in the kitchen before it can earn the high honor of being "easy". Really, if it were that "easy" I would not have onions burning on the stove while my almost-three-year-old is touching raw bacon on the counter, and my almost-one-year-old is screaming on the floor because she wants in on the action. I've found that recipes are "easy" only when they involve minimal ingredients and cook in 15 minutes or less. Even better, I like when they come frozen and all I have to do is set the timer and cook them in the oven.
