We are now doing the following:

1. At your grocery store, buy the sealed PRE-COOKED meats that come is small packages such as the following. You can make two or three meals out of them:

Beef tips with gravy,
Roast with gravy,
Pork roast,
Chicken,
Baked ham,
Pork chops,
Meatloaf,
etc.

Just heat in your microwave; directions are on the packages. You will find these packages in the cold section (not the freezer). Ask a clerk to help you find these. They are delicious.

Use these for your meat dish with a side dish or two of canned or frozen vegetables, beans, potatoes or sweet potatoes which can all be found on shelves or in the freezer section and they are already cooked.
.
You can now buy bags of different flavors of precooked rice that you put into your microwave for a minute or two. These are on shelves at the grocery store. We like the chicken flavored best of all. Have a clerk help you find them.
.
Real mashed potatoes that come in a bag...add water, butter, milk. Delicious. Read the directions.
.
Jars of all types of sauces for making pastas. On shelves.
.
Boxes of pastas with everything needed inside the boxes. On shelves.
.
Buy top brand cans of stew for each person. Serve with cornbread, crackers, or toast.
.
Soup and a grilled (fried) cheese sandwiches. Go to this video to see how to make a quick grilled cheese sandwich:

.
You can buy all types of salad greens in large packages now. Buy the ones that have been pre-washed. Add your own dressing which you can buy in bottles.
.
2. The top brands of microwave frozen dinners are very good now. These come in single servings or in family sized bags. Follow directions. Look for the words "No Preservatives" marked on the box or package.
Just add a canned or frozen vegetable as a side dish.

Top brands of dinners that are found on shelves. No fridge needed. Add water, microwave. These are good to take to school or work. Follow directions on the containers.

3. Video On How To Cook A Rib Eye Steak on Stove Burner (turn on your sound), click this link:

.
4. Supermarket deli's have pre roasted chickens, fried chickens, roast beef, and side dishes. You can stop in on the way home and grab a quick dinner to take home. I buy their roasted chicken often...they are delicious.
.
5. Buy a crock pot. You put everything into the pot in the morning, set it on low for 8 hours, and your dinner will be ready for you when you come home in the evening! I kid you not. Be sure to read the instruction booklet.
There is a recipe booklet that comes with the crock pot. You can buy crock pots at places such as your grocery store, Walmart, and etc.

Here are 1,160 crock pot recipes:

I'm kind of a picky eater, but I need a few ideas of things I can make for any kind of meal or snacks that I could eat to give me energy and keep me healthy. Ideas with basic foods, like yogurt and fruits. I don't have allergies, but they do need to be simple. I'm going grocery shopping tonight.

Thanks
 
plain yogurt can be used as dessert and a topping for potatoes or even a dip for french fries or fresh veggies. for dessert layer yogurt your fav fruit and granola too make a yummy parfait. or add salt garlic pepper hot sauce and lemon to make an aioli sauce for fries or veggies. cant go wrong with yougurt!
 
Heres a good dinner I always make.
What you need is two chicken breasts honey and lemon juice and Italian sauce.
You thaw the chicken then make a sauce out of the three ingredants
(1/4 of italian sauce one and a half teaspoons of honey and lemon sauce.)
Lay the chicken in the sauce for one hour then grill simple.
 
Hummus (with crackers or pita) - all you need is tahini, chick peas, oil, and lemon juice. Add a bit of roasted red pepper for flavor. High in protein and whatnot.

Or curry. It's so versatile, and can make even tofu taste good. The ingredients can look scary but once you have them you don't have to buy them for a long long time. Also, curry making can be tricky, so don't get discouraged if it doesn't work out right away.
