My advice is to precook and refrigerate or freeze food. It saves time and money. Every sunday my girlfriend and I pre cook some food for the week. We boil pasta and veggies and refrigerate them,. We cook mexican rice(we do this in an oven too) and refrigerate it. We cook bacon, and sausage, chicken breasts, and what ever red meat/pork that is on sale that week and freeze or put it in the fridge. We use the oven to cook all the meats as its easy and cooks well. it takes about an hour or two every week to do the bulk cooking. After that we make plates from the food in the fridge and reheat in oven or microwave.
