I just started cooking and I noticed that theres no real good sources out there to find a lot of recipes that fit the following:
Really easy to make
Cheap
Quick to cook (around 20 minutes or less)
Somewhat healthy
Contains some form of chicken or beef
No crazy ingredients or cooking instruments
So I started asking all my friends and was only able to come up with a handful of dishes/recipes that might help other bachelors out there.
Feel free to post recipes or any ideas for dishes
