Lean Cuisine plus a salad.
Here's an easy and healthy one. Take about 5 or 6 pot stickers from your frozen package of favorite pot stickers (Trader Joe's has some tasty ones). Lightly oil a skillet with sesame oil; add the pot stickers and a little water (about a 1/4 cup) and a little soy sauce to taste. While they are simmering, cut up your veggie faves...onions, broccoli, shitake mushrooms or whatever (just enough to satisfy your hunger). Season with garlic powder, lemon pepper or whatever turns you on. Cover and simmer for about 5 min. until pot stickers are done.
Make batches of recipes so you don't have to cook every night. Make a whole pan of lasagna or chili, a large bowl of salad... etc. Some things will keep in the fridge days, a week, or more. Freeze some things (i.e., a plate of lasagna) for a later date...
