I was at work really late, and he did not stop and buy them any

He also gave them leftover tacos one time, and be glad you did not have to clean up the pottys that night

OMG, this made me LOL.

I love it!

I am looking at some of these recipes, and I have to tell you they don't look super simple to me.

Gosh.. and they are the simple ones I have. They're just a little prep work really. Other than that... pretty easy. They may sound intimidating, but really, they can all be prepped within 15-20 minutes, tops.

I do have some hard ones if you want

I love to cook (have been doing so since I was 5 or 6), so I have a ton of recipes and cookbooks.

Sometimes you have to get past the prep work, or the words of the ingredients, and see how easy cooking really is. Once things are cut up, it's just throwing it all together. And if you hate dealing with knives, like me, you can buy most things already cut up in the store. Even better!

Here's a simple one:
1. Buy a package of frozen broccoli in sauce - any frozen veggie mix that come with sauce will do.
2. Boil water, make a bunch of pasta - any shape will do.
3. While the pasta is cooking, cook the frozen veggies, dump in a LARGE bowl.
4. Chop up some cooked chicken, ham, whatever protein you have leftover or handy.
5. Dump pasta, and chopped up chicken in the bowl with the veggie mix and pasta - stir well. If the sauce doesn't seem plentiful enough, dump in some grated cheese until it looks about right.

6. Done. Eat!

Black Bean Burritos

1 can black beans, undrained
1 can refried beans
1 can corn, drained

Mix everything together in a saucepan, heat, spread on a burrito shell and top as desired.

These are a little bit plain but you can spice it up with a packet of taco seasoning or assorted spices. I made these 2 days ago and topped them with shredded lettuce, grated cheese, chopped onions, and tomatoes.

I'm about to go have leftovers for lunch!
