Lemon oregano chicken, with a warm salad of roasted potatoes and baby arugula. If it sounds good, it's super-easy and I'll post the recipe.

The recipe serves one. Double/quadruple as needed. Add about 15 minutes cooking time. http://www.pbs.org/everydayfood/recipes/roasted_chicken_potatoes.html |

Omelettes are quick and easy. I'm also a fan of assemble-your-own-tacos, though you (I) pretty much always need to make a trip to the store for that meal.
(I, however, no longer cook. That's the upside of having your mother-in-law move in. I don't know what we're eating, but I'm sure it will be plentiful and delicious.  )

Tonight I made parmesan crusted chicken - very easy recipe I'm happy to post if anyone is interested.
Slightly different question: I'm going back to work and my husband and I will never eat a homemade, non-microwaved dinner again unless I make some food on the weekend that I can cook or heat up during the week. The following are my only dishes that either (1) make ahead, or (2) freeze really well and can be saved for later: spaghetti & meat sauce (well, the meat sauce is made ahead) chicken & wild rice casserole w/ mushrooms & almonds enchilada soup turkey chili tarragon chicken salad (good for weekly lunches) I'm happy to share these if anyone is interested. Any one have other suggestions with recipes? |

| I heated up leftovers from a dinner party last night - southwestern burritos with corn, black beans, spinach, fake chiken etc. |

I did a pineapple chicken stirfry (carrots, celery, snow peas, chicken, pineapples, add a sauce of 3 TBP pineapple juice, 3TBSP soy sauce, 1/4 tsp dried ginger, and 1 TBSP cornstarch).
What makes stir-fry easy in my house is a have a programmable rice cooker. I thought these things were ridiculous when I first saw them, but to be able to program something so that the rice will be ready and perfect when dinner is cooked is just priceless. Then I only have to focus on the stir-fry. Tommorrow is black bean tacos, corn and leftover rice. |

19:05 - give it time, he might surprise you! Although say goodbye to a balanced meal...meat plus 2 types of pastas/carbs are ok in the guy-world.
OP: We try and stick to quick meals (<30 minutes). Our favorites: - peanut chicken satay stir-fry with orange-scented jasmine rice (rachael ray, foodnetwork.com. skip the garnishes, use a food chopper for the ginger - or buy it pre-chopped - and throw in some snow pea pods). the peanut sauce is very accommodating when you're out of 1 or more ingredients. - steak with mashed yams and steamed broccoli. or, steak 'a la manly man' (see foodnetwork.com) - it is a blue cheese sauce that's delicious and simple, and we just cook noodles and have it over everything. - pre-marinated pork roast with cous cous & a veggie - risotto with shrimp (if my husband ate them, I'd add peas too) - jambalaya (the new orleans boxed mix is great) with andouille sausage and grits on the side - chili (ground beef added) with cornbread - homemade pizza - buy pre-made frozen dough and defrost in the morning. invest in a cheap pizza stone and try putting the sauce on top of the cheese for less sogginess. - steak or shrimp caesar salad with garlic bread - ahi tuna salad - when sashimi-grade tuna steaks are on sale, we sear them with a peppercorn crust (very rare) and have them over spinach salad with ginger dressing. mmmm... |
