Can you help me decide and give me a tried and true recipe for 2 meals?

Too many choices to make a meal…so please help if you can give me a recipe that would be greatly appreciated…..Things I have……..

Cottage Pie

*Brown hamburger meat (add Worcestershire sauce if you have it) ***(I was assuming hamburger meant ground beef/chuck)***
*Boil peas and carrots until cooked thoroughly
*Make mashed potatoes
*Layer in casserole pan: Hamburger-Veggies-Potatoes (potatoes = 1 inch thick) (you can even add more mashed potatoes on the bottom so you have Potatoes-Hamburger-Veggies-Potatoes).
*Make ruffles in the top of the mashed potatoes with a fork to cause certain parts to brown more
*Bake at 350F for about 15 minutes until the top of the potatoes starts to brown a little

***Alternate way to finish: don’t bother with ruffles in potatoes and add cheese to the top and cook 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted (and even starting to brown if you like).

Chicken and Broccoli Mac and Cheese

*Bring water to a boil and add broccoli to water
*Add Macaroni noodles when the water returns to a boil and cook until done.
*Take chicken (cut into bite-size pieces) and fry in a frying pan with a little oil until cooked through… you can add some teriyaki sauce for flavoring if you have it.
*Drain Mac and Cheese and add cheese packet/ prepare if its the powdered kind (though the powdered kind does not work as well).
*Add chicken to macaroni and cheese and broccoli and stir together.
*Add toasted sesame seeds if you desire (toast them in a small frying pan for a few minutes until they start to brown).

Simple Pork chops

*Season with Rosemary and Thyme and fry in frying pan about 5 minutes on each side (dont forget to put a little oil in pan first)
*Boil/ steam your squash… or you can even pan-fry with a little Balsamic Vinegar if you have that. Season with salt and pepper when done.
*Serve with either potatoes or rice

Chicken stir-fry

*In wok or large skillet add oil (peanut/olive/canola) and heat on medium high heat until oil starts to smoke, and add chicken. Stir fry about 5 minutes (constantly tossing after letting the chicken brown a little).
*Add Chinese Veggies and stir-fry for a few minutes until cooked but still crisp (constantly tossing)
*Add some sort of sauce (even if only soy sauce)
*Serve over rice

***Additional option: instead of serving over rice you can prepare noodles (spaghetti/ angel hair/ vermicelli/ or any other thin round noodle) as you would normally, only leaving them a little undercooked and adding them to the stir-fry when you add the sauce to finish cooking.

Well there are some ideas… I hope you enjoy.
