Do you hate cooking? Is the idea of trying to make sense of a recipe book daunting? Perhaps the kids want to try their hand at making supper, or time is your issue, meaning you have none for cooking. Actually, you might have time with easy cooking recipes.

Eggs make a fantastic base for hearty and quick meals. Scramble, fry, poach, boil: there are many ways to satisfy egg lovers. With scrambled or omelet style, chefs have the option of adding cubes of meat, grated cheese and vegetables. Serve on slices of toast, or make toast with pieces cut out of their centers shaped like hearts, circles or flowers. Place scrambled egg inside. Alternatively, cook bread with broken egg inside the cut shape on a greased toaster oven pan.

Are there lots of left over fruits which are still fine, just a bit soft? Search your freezer and refrigerator for small amounts of various sorts which no one feels enthusiastic about eating. Peel, pit and chop. In a sauce pan or slow cooker, place all fruits together with honey to taste and spices. For example, combine plums, cherries and blueberries with allspice, nutmeg or cinnamon. Cook slowly, then serve over ice cream or yogurt.

Depending on the vegetables you enjoy, some will take several minutes to cook while others take moments. Beware the veggies which start to taste and smell too strong or feel too soft when over-cooked, such as bean sprouts and broccoli. Collect your favorites and a wok or frying pan. Using flavored oil such as sesame or peanut, heat the pan then throw in some chicken. The toughest vegetables such as carrots go into the pan when your chicken is browned. Cook for a few minutes, stirring regularly, then add broccoli, snap peas, baby corn, peppers and other colorful items for a bright and appealing dish to serve with rice or noodles.

Both noodles and rice are simple dishes to prepare, though you need to time them. Brown and wild rice take longer to cook than white, so check and stir regularly. Boil water with a bit of salt or bouillon. Add rice and cook about forty-five minutes for brown and wild rice, just six to ten minutes for white, checking at around the six minute mark. Serve when soft but not mushy. For pasta, be sure to cook according to directions (typically six to ten minutes depending on the type). Rinse, then return to your pan to keep warm or make a cheesy macaroni dish.

Pizza is a perennial favorite. Though the dough makes for simple work, the time required might be more than you have. Consider buying a pre-made base or just using bread, bagels or English muffins. Top with sauce, cheese, then vegetables, pineapple and meat according to taste. Bake long enough to melt your cheese and dinner might take less time to cook than to eat for once.

The same short cut applies to savory pies. Either select ready-to-cook crusts in singles or family sizes or mash potato, yam or sweet potato. If using pastry, prepare meat and vegetables in a thick gravy. Pour into a crust or a pie dish. If not using pastry, top with mashed potato and cook for thirty minutes. Adding grated cheese or dollops of butter to potato gives a rich flavor.
