any thing you want - buy a cook book

If you don't want to go the cook book route try some of the food websites around. BBC has one also UK TV Food. Good Food Magazine is a good place to look as well. Soups are easy and cheap.A roast chicken (buy free range, more expensive but tastier and the only ethical choice) will give you at least 3 meals,one day roast,next stir-fry or curry then soup with the carcase. A bag of salad with crisp bacon bits,blue cheese and a bit of lemon juice makes a great light lunch with some nice bread.I could go on forever!

Look for frozen veggies already mixed together for stir fries, then just add these to sauteed or stir fried chicken, pork, beef, or shrimp. Add a bit of sauce either from a jar (they make tons of different kinds, and not too $$ since you only need a couple spoonfuls) or mix together some soy sauce, a bit of corn starch, some powdered ginger & garlic. Add a spoonful of honey if you want a different flavour.
Serve over pasta, or rice, or even with a side of mashed or baked potatoes.
There ya go, one easy quick recipe to make many different meals.

Tons of stuff.
get pita bread
salad and mayo, pesto sauce, and TRy all diff sauces
and basically grill sme chicken, chickpeas, cottage cheese or ham watever u like
toast the pita for A little time - so its soft and warm NOT hard and crispy.
Then stuff the pitas with a bitta salad sauce and ur meat or veggies yum yum
tuna and cheese is nice so is chicken with pesto and tomatoes...
u can also try fajitas which are yum!
noodles are a gud idea try addin prawns spring onions diff veggies and stuff
also try grilled toast tats quick and easy but may get boring..!
oooh and fish cakes are fun to make! go to google and look up recipes for fish cakes!
also the potato is a very easy thing to work with u can make tons of stuff - marks and spencers has cheap cook books on quick meals which are very helpful ! (ask for one for christmas)
or get a partner who is a chef! ;)

Soup, and a sandwich
Tv dinner
As much fruit as possible
A good fresh salad
Why not a big bowl of a healthy cereal ?
Big glass of fruit juice (no sugar, or presevatives)
Seafood (steamed, or broiled, Never fried !)
Sounds good, "Try it"

What about stuffed peppers, served with rice
Chicken stir-fry

Spicey Omlette
Why not make your own bugers and have them with homemade potato wedges
Jacket potatoes and then vary the fillings that you can have with it, such as baked beans, cheese and onion, ham
Make your own chicken curry
Chicken with stir fried noodles
