My favorite cookbook is The Best 30-Minute Recipe which is put out by Cooks Illustrated. They have all sorts of simple tips and recipes that I almost hate going out to eat. In a pinch for dinner my go to recipe is Heuvos Rancheros or a fritatta with vegetables.

I love this website because it gives you thousands of recipes that are easy to make with 3-5 ingredients, nothing weird or complicated and this is the direct page to easy recipes for whatever protein you like or even vegetarian choices, all quick and delicious! I would have liked to send you some more specific recipes, but I don't know what your likes or dislikes are or what you have on hand, so I hope this helps, Happy Cooking and New Year to you!

I follow a simple 3 item meal plan: the 3 items are a lean meat, a green or orange vegetable, and a whole grain or starch. I generally grill the meat and steam the veggie. Then add a rice, potato, or a bread of your choice.

Look for steam-in-the-bag veggies (such as SteamFresh) for even simpler prep.

Look for Rice-A-Roni boxes for simple grain prep, or serve with storebought bread or boxed potatoes.

Get a $10 george foreman to grill the meats.

Some examples of the 3 item dinner:

Grilled steak, sweet potato, green beans

grilled chicken, brown rice, broccoli

grilled shrimp, brown rice, mixed vegetables (mix together for a stir fry if desired)

grilled pork chops, garlic bread, salad

grilled salmon, brown rice, zucchini

grilled hamburgers, french fries, raw vegetables and dip

I can't tell what your skill level is. Go to http://food.yahoo.com/

You can find recipes from different sources like Kraft Foods, Rachel Ray, Food and Wine. There should be something there that suits your skill level. I find it to be more user friendly (and less recipe ingredients) than most of the recipes on the foodtv.com website. You also see feedback from others who have tried making the recipe.

If you need a book, I recommend America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. The recipes are simple and fully explained. They also give you the basic recipe to make something and then several simple ways that you can make variations on the same recipe.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMQDe

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

At kraftfoods.com, we have some great dinner recipes. You can tell from the recipe ratings how well other people enjoy the dishes, and many of these have become family favorites of cooks across the country.

Two of my personal favorites are

Sausage and Tomato Rigatoni: Pasta dishes are a great way to "stretch" meat so that you can feed more with less. http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/sausage-tomat...

Orange-Chicken Rice Bowl: Just like our favorite take-out, only cheaper!
