get coook books that r quick and easy my mom has some but i cant remember the name
anything with pasta. check out the food network site.
I'm a chefs.com fan myself...always been pretty happy with the recipes there.
If I were you, I would check out the recipes on labels of cans of Campbell's soup. On the front of some of the cans, it will say ';Great for cooking';. On the back will be one recipe and there will be 4 or 5 more under the label. they are always quick, good, simple recipes requiring usually only 4 or 5 ingredients. I like the ones on cream of onion, cream of chicken and cream of mushroom. But now you get the idea. Bon appetite
There are MANY, TONS of it. Just type ';easy'; before any of the meals you are looking for (for example easy cake...) try http://www.cooks.com this websites has TONS of easy recipes. Hope this helps.
Goulash is very quick and easy, and good too. Serve with white bread!!

sandwiches
My favorite that I make is Salmon (skinned). All you have to do is cover both sides with lemon pepper and dried parsley. Put them on the broiler pan (spray with Pam cooking spray so they won't stick), broil the first side for 6 minutes then flip them over and broil for 5 minutes. It doesn't seem to matter the size of the salmon fillets - the time is the same if they are big or small. Any steamed veggie and a biscuit goes well with it. Great tasting and healthy - and QUICK.


Two other meat dishes that are healthy and easy... Chicken breast(s)/skinless sprinkled with ';Lawrence season salt'; and minced garlic (can buy jars of garlic at the store in veggie dept), wrap in foil, put in pan, bake for at least 1/2 hour at 350 degrees. And boneless pork chops; brown in a frying pan (use ';Pam'; cooking spray instead of butter in pan to brown), sprinkle with dried rosemary and minced garlic (I cook with lots of garlic - very good for you) and maybe pepper if you like, wrap in foil, put in pan and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.


Good luck with cooking endeavors!
