Easy Recipes for Busy Moms

So I was talking to a girlfriend this morning who is not feeling well today. Neither am I. We talked about our need to go shopping and prepare meals for the week. You could tell neither of us had the motivation to be Rachel Ray this week. It got me thinking that I need to have an arsenal of easy, brainless recipes on hand for days such as today.

I have a few. Pasta with jar sauce always does the trick. And actually, said friend gave me a wonderful taco soup recipe that is very easy in the crock pot. But I'm over pasta and it's too hot for soup so I need something else.

Any ideas for quick and easy recipes, preferably with items I already have on hand? I know, I ask too much. . .

OK I know you mentioned Rachael Ray but one of her cook books seriously is my "go to" for easy meals. It's "Express Lane" meals. She tells you what basic stuff to keep on hand and each recipe tells you what you should already have and what extras you might have to grab through the express check out at the store (because it will only be a couple things) It's so great and I've come up with some delicious dinners in like 20 minutes because of this great cookbook!
