I suggest buying the "Barefoot Contessa" cookbook (the first one)... the food is delectable and it's all pretty easy to do (just remember the servings are huge, so throw a dinner party). I recommend the lemon chicken salad with the bell peppers or the guacamole with chips.
Some easy recipes...
Honey/Mustard/Lime Chicken
Combine equal parts honey, lime juice, and good mustard (no French's) in a bowl. Pour over boneless, skinless chicken breasts and let stand for about 30 minutes. Cook in a skillet. GOOD STUFF!
Quiche Lorraine
Beat 4 eggs with 2 cups half-and-half, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon sugar, and pour in a pie crust (homemade or store bought). Add 1 cup of grated swiss cheese and broken up bits of bacon (if you eat pork), also add 1/3 cup chopped up onion. Bake 15 minutes at 425 degrees, then reduce heat to 300 and cook about 30 more minutes (be sure o cover the edges of crust with foil if they start to get too dark).
Also, if you make that Appian Way pizza from the box and just put nice toppings on it (artichoke hearts, etc...) it is pretty good.
I have a lot more recipes that are super good, but these were just some simple ideas.
