Cooking 101

So I sway back and forth between eating like a poor person and eating like someone with a mediocre income. I've been on a whatever-I-can-pop-in-the-microwave kick lately and decided I would like to go back to eating actual meals. Not only do they taste better but they are better for me usually especially since I may or may not have taken a short sabbatical from OGLJWI. I got busy people.

Anyway, I was on allrecipes.com, which a website that come highly recommended by Cookingforfun! a.k.a. Big Bear (former FMB roommate). As I was looking desperately for a recipe which I had all the ingredients for because I've already been to the grocery store once today (AL you forgot to mention the cheese in your recipe). I finally realize that I probably should've searched something along the lines of "easy chicken dish for lazy bum that has a small inventory in the pantry and no willingness to leave the house again to get that one obscure ingredient." No people, I do not stock picante pistachio pina colada sauce in my house so don't say it's a simple recipe.

Moral of the story, I've become bored with my normal routine of regular meals. I also don't have the "I'll just throw crap in a pan" energy I normally do. Any good, EASY, recipes that normal people stock the ingredients for?
