Steak is the ultimate quick&easy meal, but you have to predict that you're going to want quick&easy so that you can let the meat thaw. Carbonara was a good suggestion. I had fettucini alfredo with mushrooms last night. It didn't take long but you have to remember to keep some heavy cream around. Salads can be great too. I really like some of the salads in bouchon. They're easy to make and you can make them in quantity. They keep fairly well so you can make them in large enough batches at the beginning of the week so that you'll always have some when you're hungry. I do the same with soups. They take time to make but when you want them, reheating takes just a couple of minutes. Or if you dont' have any prepared, just a quick greek salad which either a lemon or balsamic & olive oil dressing is terribly satisfying. And there's always sandwiches... I love salami, so i always have some of that around so I can make salami sandwiches with lettuce and dijon. It takes 2 minutes to prepare, is filling, and tastes pretty damned good. The key is to have good rolls on-hand. I always put them in the oven for a short while to give them a bit of a crust.
