No veggies???? How does one have a bowel movement?

I second the George Forman. Also a good standby that is super easy, rice, spinach(frozen or canned works best), and tuna, with or without shredded cheese.

I've seen a TJ brand Asian sauce often recommended here that could probably make any spaghetti-type pasta, frozen chicken strips, and a bunch of steamed broccoli into a "Chicken Noodle Bowl." Can anyone recommend a sauce or dressing? Or put same over a bed of rice.

You can also do it in a crockpot. It doesn't get crispy, but is good for things like enchiladas, on salads, etc.

Grilled/broiled pork chops
Frittata
Sloppy joes
Soups
Pizza - buy pizza dough at Trader joes or Whole Foods

Oh can it. There's nothing wrong with a parent seeking some peer guidance to help out their child. It's not like OP is offering to cook all of her son's meals or anything.

Yes it is. They're "20-somethings." Seriously, they can figure this out.

Thanks for your input. It's really helpful. I hope to be able to return the favor one day.

Giant, safeway, or Harris teeter. Super easy.

My college kids cook a lot of pasta. A really, really lot of pasta.

My 20 yo son eats a lot of eggs. He also makes various canned soups and grills hamburgers.

I would get him a George Forman grill, they plug in and are great for making grilled chicken or burgers fast and without any flames.

I don't know if your son will eat quiche but its super easy.
3 eggs, 1.5cups milk, shredded cheese & diced ham in a frozen pie crust bake at 325 for 50min.

Looking for throw-together, foolproof, preferably high protein meals with few ingredients that can reheat well (for DS and his 20something friends in their first college apartment). So far we have:

Pizza with Boboli crust;
Steak and cheese (with shaved beef hopefully in meat section, not Steak Ums, but those work too);
Baked Ziti with beef or sausage;
Chili;
Crock pot chicken/salsa (combine, cook on low eight hours, shred with fork);
Crock pot pork/BBQ sauce (combine, cook on low all day, shred with fork).

Any other ideas? Thanks.
