It would be much more helpful if you had one to try out. (I can't praise its flexibility and short prep time enough). Joy's BBQ pork sounds like a good one...

You get some vegetables and chop them big, then some bacon and chop them and chuck them all in a fry pan with some olive oil. Fry it up a bit but keep the vegies crunchy. Get some of those wagon wheel pasta things and boil them (i like them because they are a fun shape). At the same time or before make a tomato type pasta sauce (the easy way is best, get a jar) heat that up in a big pot, big enough to fit all the vegies and the pasta (once its cooked for the pasta) then chuck all the ingredients into the pot with the sauce for a while til its nice and hot. The thing about food is it needs to taste good so do lots of taste tests if its boring use a little salt and stuff like pepper is hard to get wrong. corex' steak. Get the phone, call corex, tell him you want steak. Get some plates make a salad and wait for a knock on the front door glass and do something fun with Wrigglebot for 30 minutes. voilà corex's steak. corex’s vegie pasta.

Instead of the tortilla chips we have taco shells to stuff our ingredients into (takes approx. 15 minutes) pork barbeque sandwiches: pork rump or pork something pretty cheap, cooked all day in the slow cooker (crock pot) (10 hours low 5 high) use fork to break up meat, add BBQ sauce, serve on hamburger buns (prep time only about 10 minutes) spaghetti: brown ground beef or turkey and onions and garlic, add store bought Spaghetti sauce, add can of diced tomatoes, serve over noodles (approx 20 minutes) beef stroganoff: brown ground beef or turkey and onions and mushrooms, add 1 can cream of mushroom soup, one cup or more of sour cream, simmer, serve over egg noodles or rice (rice takes 30 minutes usually, I start is at same time, and simmer till rice is ready) we do a lot of easy recipies, a lot of ground turkey, a lot of barbequing hamburgers and hotdogs too:) Hope you figure out some easy things he and you'll eat! these are our family favorites:

It works around baths and husbands and everything and the recipes are usually dead easy. And the darned paper we've all stirred into the spag bol absorbs meat juice.....mmm..fat water and blood.
