Anyone know of any SUPER simple meals?

I had gotten this book for my friend Regina when she moved out of her mom's house to Bethlehem.

Help! My Apartment has a Kitchen!

I thought it was pretty good for a beginner's cookbook!

go to www.kraft.com and sign up for their emails and you can get their cooking magazine for FREE.
also this is a great magazine - http://www.tasteofhome.com/simple-delicious-magazine/ and their quick cooking or Light and Tasty magazine is great also.

I've been interrested in this cookbook but have held off on getting it

Staci - thanks for this info. I just signed up. What I like best about the Kraft site - they give the nutritional breakdown of each recipe. As a T2 Diabetic, I pay close attention to my carb intake.

for 2 people, turn oven on to 350 degrees to preheat. 2 -boneless mild fish fillets, like tilapia or orange roughy, 4-8 ounces each.
pull out 2 sheets of aluminium foil, slightly larger then the fish and lightly oil them , olive oil is good, crisco is okay (butter doesn't work for me)
place fish on the foil, pour 1-2 tablespoons of salad dressing like ranch, french, thousand island or italian over the fish, if you have fresh veggies like green beans, bell pepper strips, zucchini or carrot coins put those on top of the fish, close the foil, like a sandwich is wrapped and bake 18-20 minutes. fish is done when it flakes apart very easily with fork. i serve this with rice-a-roni and broccoil almost every monday night before i leave for bowling. dessert this month has been a torn in small pieces pound cake topped with mashed strawberries and topped with whipped cream.
i've done this with boneless chicken breasts too, but you bake it longer.
enjoy

Nuked Potatoes

Wash spuds (don't bother to peel) and cut up small. Put in microwavable bowl, sprinkle with salt, pepper, paprika, and rosemary, squirt with olive oil, stir. If these are to be an ingredient for something else, nuke covered until soft. If they're Part of Your Balanced Breakfast, nuke uncovered (stirring occasionally) until crispy!
