but Niq96st is right, get a crock pot. google recipes. all you have to do is chop and prep (which you can do the night before) and put it in the crock pot and you come home to a meal
you can cook nearly everything in a crock pot-soups, stews, spaghetti sauce, desserts, even a whole chicken (which I have never tried)
a rice cooker got you on a quick starch and veggies are quick to make
