February sucks. It's a depressing month and I never accomplish anything worthwhile during it. Luckily, February is gone and I won't have to see it again for another year

Most of the recipes that I think up on my own turn out horribly. So I usually rely on a few different websites for actual recipes:
1) http://allrecipes.com/ Best. Recipe. Site. Ever. I love this place. You can find whatever you're looking for. Quick and easy? Healthy? Vegetarian options? Chicken recipes? Etc... Pay attention to the reviews. They usually help.
1) Combine a Lean Cuisine (Peanut chicken and sesame chicken are both REALLY good) with a bag of Birds Eye steamed veggies. Throw in a little soy sauce and stir. The sodium content is a little high, but that's okay if you're not eating it EVERY day.
2) Beans! Dude, beans are an awesome, cheap, and low calorie source of protein. I like throwing in half a bag of black beans into a slow cooker, adding water to cover, and some garlic and cumin. They're great on their own, mixed with some rice, or even to top a salad.
3) Chicken and Veggies: Grab a chicken breast and your choice of veggies (I usually use broccoli, mushrooms, and carrots). Put the chicken breast down on a pan, spray with a cooking spray, and throw on some garlic powder and Mrs. Dash. Throw the veggies in, spray, and top with some garlic powder. Throw it in the oven.

This week it was bad because it was pasta, but wheat pasta. (I cooked too much so I am eating it too often but that will change)
I have a ricecooker and will start doing that with some veggies or beans. I see the stuff above and am going to try some of it out.
