    Go to a grocery store and pick up some kielbasa and a can of baked beans. Put some beans in a microwavable bowl and heat. Meanwhile slice up some of the kielbasa. Cover a microwavable plate with 2 layers of paper towels. Place the kielbasa slices on the paper towels and heat. This is to remove excess fat from the kielbasa. Stir the kielbasa slices into the beans and eat..

    1. At your grocery store, buy the sealed PRE-COOKED meats that come is small packages such as the following. You can make two or three meals out of them:

    Beef tips with gravy,

    Roast with gravy,

    Pork roast,

    Chicken,

    Baked ham,

    Pork chops,

    Meatloaf,

    etc.

    Just heat in your microwave; directions are on the packages. You will find these packages in the cold section (not the freezer). Ask a clerk to help you find these. They are delicious.

    Use these for your meat dish with a side dish or two of canned or frozen vegetables, beans, potatoes or sweet potatoes which can all be found on shelves or in the freezer section and they are already cooked.

    .

    You can now buy bags of different flavors of precooked rice that you put into your microwave for a minute or two. These are on shelves at the grocery store. We like the chicken flavored best of all. Have a clerk help you find them.

    .

    Real mashed potatoes that come in a bag...add water, butter, milk. Delicious. Read the directions.

    .

    Buy top brand cans of stew for each person. Serve with cornbread, crackers, or toast.

    .

    Soup and a grilled (fried) cheese sandwiches. Go to this video to see how to make a quick grilled cheese sandwich:

    Omelet with Cheese - Video:

    .

    You can buy all types of salad greens in large packages now. Buy the ones that have been pre-washed. Add your own dressing which you can buy in bottles.

    .

    2. The top brands of microwave frozen dinners are very good now. These come in single servings or in family sized bags. Follow directions. Look for the words "No Preservatives" marked on the box or package.

    Just add a canned or frozen vegetable as a side dish.

    Top brands of dinners that are found on shelves. No fridge needed. Add water, microwave. These are good to take to school or work. Follow directions on the containers.

    .

    4. Supermarket deli's have pre roasted chickens, fried chickens, roast beef, and side dishes. You can stop in on the way home and grab a quick dinner to take home. I buy their roasted chicken often...they are delicious.

    .

    5. Buy a crock pot. You put everything into the pot in the morning, set it on low for 8 hours, and your dinner will be ready for you when you come home in the evening! I kid you not. Be sure to read the instruction booklet.

    There is a recipe booklet that comes with the crock pot. You can buy crock pots at places such as your grocery store, Walmart, and etc.

    Here are 1,160 crock pot recipes:
