Maybe give some free advice about: Cooking?
Here is one of my favorite 'simple' recipes. It takes a few hours, but the effort only takes five minutes. The hours part is the actually 'cooking' .
What you need:
Four chicken breast, boneless/skinless, thawed
Eight pieces of Bacon
One bottle of Balsamic Vinagrette Dressing
Five pieces of aluminum foil (four that can wrap the chicken in, and one to put veggies in.)
2 cups fresh, raw, veggies, like brocolli, corn on the cob (two cobs), baby carrots, or shelled peas.
Nonstick cooking spray.
two ice cubes
a frying pan
a casserole or pie pan.
First, put a 10 inch frying pan on the stove, spray with cooking spray. Turn the burner to MEDIUM heat (on a gas burner, the flame is halfway turned on). Let the pan warm up for a minute, then place the chicken in. Only leave the chicken there for 1 minute, then flip and count two minutes. No longer, you just want to slightly cook the outside (should look white).
Put each piece of chicken on a seperate piece of foil, cover with some of the dressing, and wrap tightly. Place in the pie pan.
Take the raw veggies and rinse them and cut them into fork-sized pieces. Place them and two ice cubes in the last piece of foil, then into the pan on TOP of the chicken.
Place all into the oven and cook at 250* F (not sure what that is Celcius) for two hours, then turn it to up 350* for one hour.
You can do this with any dressing you want, really. One thing I do as well is add some of the grinders seasoning. McCormick makes Italian and Steakhouse Grinders. You grind the spices right onto the chicken as they are in the frying pan.
Whoops! I edited to add 2 cups of veggies instead of one.

i am no cook either, but here is a recipe thats really hard to mess up with. this is a "tuna soup" recipe that serves 4 people.
first you should boil 2 eggs until theyre hardboiled. (10 minutes?)
next get a pot, and fill about 2 inches up with water. (the pot should be 5-6 inches in diameter)
then get two cans of chicken of the soup tuna, and dump it in there, liquid and all into the pot when the water starts to boil. you might want to break the tuna with your fork into smaller peices.
taste the liquid, and add a little salt. taste again to make sure its not underdone.
then get some dill (about two tablespoon's worth), chop it up, and put in the pot.
turn off the stove, but dont move the pot anywhere!
next peel the hardboiled eggs, and chop 'em up into more or less even peices, but not too small.
mix with the rest of the soup and serve!!
note: sometimes i add a little bit of a cube of hydrated chicken broth to add more flavor.

on my 17th birthday I took up cooking because I took up vegetarianism and it was easiest to cook for myself. my favorite meals are spinach pizza (which rocks more than it sounds like), minnestrone soup, and potato latkes. my minnestrone soup is the first thing I ever cooked. I make it on the weekends every few weeks. it's my recipe. I'm including it.
1 box swason's organic vegetable broth
1 large can tomatoes (I like crushed)
1 small can each: garbanzo beans, pinto beans, your choice of white bean
various veggies (I use potatoes, zucchini, carrots, peas, and sometimes corn)
marjoram to taste (not essential, but it helps)
everything goes into a big pot and cooks until it's all tender. sometimes it helps to put the potatoes, carrots and zucchini in before all of the beans and other veggies because they cook slower. I like mine with less broth so I just let it cook on. some of the beans become mush and the tomatoes really cook down. the flavors are better this way, but the potatoes and carrots retain their solidity.

Here is a super easy dessert...
"Dump" cake
1 box of white cake mix
1 stick of butter
1 can of cherry pie filling
1 can of chunk pineapples
"Dump" the cherry pie filling and the pineapples into a 13x9 inch baking pan
Sprinkle the cake mix on top...don't prepare it, just use the dry mix
Cut up the butter in little squares and put it on top of the cake mix
Bake it for 30-45 minutes at 350 degrees.
It is really cheap and easy to make and sooooo good!
You can use other things besides cherries and pineapples, whatever you like.

The first time I cooked, I cooked mac and cheese from the box with fries for a side dish. It easy and simple. Don`t go overboard with like ham or a huge meal. Making mac and cheese is really easy. Depending on how you want the mac and cheese-they have directions on the side of the box. Just make sure you turn off the stove and oven when you done! I used to do it alot and got in more trouble. :x. Hope this helps. :] ♥
