Easiest dinner ideas?

Question

What are your favorite, easy dinner ideas?

I am a terrible cook so I am looking for something simple but an actual meal- not just a snack. (Cooking for 2)

When my daughter gets old enough to eat with us- any suggestions for then?

(Im putting it in this section because I like this section.)

Answer 1

boxed mac and cheese/ homemade gives you lots of options. you can throw sauted chiken in ther with brocolli and make a casserole type dish or do the same with canned tuna. you can mix tomato sauce with it and throw in sum ground beef. any type of meet with vegetables work well. get cream of ....... and put over your meats the last 15-20minutes of baking. most things can b baked@ 350 and cook within 30 min to 1hr. fish can be broiled in 10-20min and vegetables frozen veg u put n a pot with very lil water& steam for 10min. remember your meats are done when the juices run clear and with steak,turn the oven off a lil sooner and crak the door. it will continue to cook for a while but wont dry out. keep fresh fruits and veggies and salad items and you are good to go. you can make a salad out of any meat.

Answer 4

may i suggest 30 minute meals? seriously... watch that show some time. haha i hate cooking and i have NO patients to slave over the stove, and no desire to, and i like the recipes on that show... they're simple and good! but my faovirte easy dinner is this noodled up chicken soup stuff. i got the recipe from the hungry girl cook book. but it used tofu noodles, which grosses me out, so i got healthy whole wheat noodles, boiled them, threw in some veggies (whatever you like), garlic powder, chicken broth, and pre cooked/pre cut chicken. let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, and yummmmm!
