Got a few recipe's I've whipped up over the years.
Take two boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and marinate them for a long time (several hours at least) in a mixture of 2 parts water, 1 part lemon juice, sprinkled with black pepper, thyme, oregano and basil as you do so. Bake over rice. Delicious, but be careful: the lemon flavor can get really strong if you marinate it too long. This right here is probably my best recipe, but I haven't made it in years.
We also have a number of Julia Child-style "cheapout" recipes. Goulash = ground beef (as lean as you can get it), browned with chili seasoning, mixed with either shell noodles or rotini and tomato soup. Not the healthiest, but good on a tight budget.
Also, "Pork Chop Savoy," which really isn't pork chop savoy. Take a few boneless pork chops (or bone in, doesn't matter), brown them, immerse them in cream of mushroom soup and bake. Pair with mashed potatoes and some other vegetable (we typically use green beans), the soup makes a good gravy for both the meat and potatoes.
