Wherein I need a favor

Em and I sat down over the weekend and discussed finances. I know, sexy, right? Anyway, we're trying to cut back on our eating out expenses. It's our biggest expense right now, mostly because I hate cooking. Well, let me rephrase that: I don't enjoy cooking. I have a few recipes that are standbys: lasagna, spaghetti, tacos, shake-n-back chicken/pork, or sausage w/ mac and cheese. They're pretty easy to make and don't require a lot of thought on my part.

So, what do I need from you? What are your standby recipes? I also don't like shopping and often forget I have fresh vegetables in the drawer until they go bad. The Boy is somewhat picky, but has to try whatever gets put on his plate and usually will eat it. I don't go in for that whole "I'm making supper A for me and EM and supper B for the kids." They eat what I cook. If they have tried it and still don't like it, they make themselves chicken nuggets or a sandwich.

So send me some recipes. Maybe I'll find I do enjoy cooking. (stop laughing now)
