I eat a lot of frozen dinners and sandwiches. I don't like preparing salads too much. I use my microwave a lot. And I am on a tight budget. If you have some creative ideas, please tell me.

Some of these answers are a worry! As a single working woman fast is the key to all my dinners , try
Cheese on toast with chopped up mushrooms - go easy on the cheese, drizzle with balsamic vinigar - yummo,
Chicken and veggie stirfry - no rice - using whatever Asian sauces are left over in the fridge
Eggs are great, crack one in a bowl, add chopped mushrooms, capsicum (you might call them peppers in the us), bit of cheese, stir, pour inot fry pan on low heat - let it cook on the stove top - frittatta in a minute -
There's 3 to get you going

You will find no lazier cook than me.
In Wales we make Cawl. It is real nice.
Get some carrots, potatoes, turnip, swede, leeks, onions and chop em all up into bits.
Put em in a big pot with water, salt, pepper and gravy granules and simmer for an hour or two.
Eat it with hot bread and cold butter.
It is amazing.
You have to get the ammount of salt, pepper and gravy correct though. (to taste)

That's easy. Eat fresh fruits and veggies. Cook the veggies or eat them raw. Buy a stovetop grill or grill pan and grill chicken, turkey burgers, or steaks. When meat goes on sale, buy a few family packs and divide them into mealsize packages and freeze.

Salad and pasta. both are easy and have enough room to vary ingredients so you won't get bored with them.
