Easy meals for non-cooks?
Hello all! My husband's company recently moved, so until we also move, he's facing a 1.5 hour commute each way, meaning _I_ am now in charge of dinner if I don't want to wait to eat until 8pm! So I'm looking for fairly easy recipes - we do have a TON of veg cookbooks, but I've discovered I much prefer personal recs, especially as I am a disaster in the kitchen!
My conditions? I really am a horrible cook - I'm ok w/ prep work, but if I have to do more than stick something in the microwave or oven, bad things happen. I've pretty much been banned from using a frying pan. Boiling is ok...mostly ;) Baking is fine, as I AM a master of cookies, cakes, etc. So I need recipes that don't really involve sauteeing or frying or that sort of thing!
I made this tortilla pie last night, which went fine - assembling and baking is just about my speed!
And I can make a mean lentil soup, but we're about to enter into too-warm-for-soup weather.
Any recipes that you think I could handle would be appreciated!
Thanks :)
