Peer Pressure Cooking

The implicit jknottie peer pressure to both blog and cook was too much for me to shield with my slacker rays, so here it is in all it's half-a$$ed glory: my blog.
As far as cooking goes, I'm not really the one who does that in my house. Patrick has worked in resaurants his whole life and knows all types of good secrets (and how to score surf and turf leftovers!), plus he loves to cook.
He works evenings a lot, though, so when it's just Ashlyn and myself, we'd eat string cheese and chicken nuggets every day of the week! However, as I'm trying hard to be a real grown up now that I have a husband and a kid, I'm getting better. I even have a cooking philosophy now.
It's this: If it has more ingredients than I can buy and still go through the express check-out, it's no good. It is requires more dishes than I can fit in my sink at one time, it's no good. If I can't take the leftovers to lunch tomorrow, it's no good.
So, the following are examples of recipes (And I use that word loosely!) that work within the narrow (but growing) confines of my cooking prowess.
