Do you mean something quick and easy? Or something you don't have to cook? I hate to cook, so I've found some "tricks."
I always try to keep some canned soups on hand and French bread. I'll also add some sliced non-dairy cheese (almond cheese) for me and real cheese slices for the boyfriend to round out the soup and bread meal. Some canned soups I like and that are safe and contain SF (potatoes, pasta) and IF (other vegetables):
Progresso Minestrone
Progresso Manhattan Clam Chowder (tomato-based)
Muir Glen Organics Garden Vegetables
Other quick meals (you can find recipes if you do a search on the Recipe board -- they usually contain a good mix of SF and IF so you don't have to figure anything out): pasta salads, sandwiches, microwave baked potatoes and other vegetables. I usually make tuna pasta salad, which only takes about 15 - 20 minutes. When the water starts boiling, I throw in frozen vegetables and the pasta and let them cook at the same time.
You could also buy one of those roasted chickens from the grocery store. Serve with mashed potatoes or sweet potato fries or rice. Add another vegetable if you want more IF -- steam it or microwave it. Make sure to take off the skin from the chicken for yourself. YOu could also shred the chicken and make quick, chicken tacos/burritos. Add some lettuce, shredded almond cheese, diced olives and/or tomatoes, salsa. Serve with Baked Tostitos and rice.
Hope this helps!
