Buy delicious things and put them all together in a slowcooker.

I often make risotto. It's ridiculously simple and you can make it with whatever you have in your fridge. I often make it with bacon, onion and peas. Here's what you do

- dice the bacon and put it in a pot large enough to hold all the ingredients. Let it cook for a while so some of the fat melts.
- dice an onion and put it in. Cook for a minute.
- put in a cup of risotto rice and let them cook for a minute.
- add 1½ cup of hot water
- add some grated parmesan cheese
- season with salt and pepper

Now it has to cook for about 20 minutes until the rice is ready. You have to stir it once in a while so it doesn't burn. Add more water if it gets too dry.

After about 10 minutes I add some frozen peas.

Sometimes I make it with canned tomatoes, tuna and shrimp instead. When I do that, I cut back a bit on the water because there's a lot of water in the tomatoes.

Yesterday I made it with bacon, onion and chanterelles. That's a nice autumn dish.

Pork chops (thick ones with bone-in taste better imo) - Soak for 2 hours in olive oil and garlic. Rub salt/pepper and grill on pan. So delicious (recipe from EDF).

Back ribs are really easy and tasty. Just throw some store bought sauce or make your own if feeling adventurous. Cook in oven for about 2 hours at 300, rub some sauce once in a while.

Tuna pasta. Boil pasta. Add some canned tuna to a pan, and eat up with some veggies (any frozen veggie pack is fine). I like to add some cheese, cream cheese works fine too. Add in the pasta and heat a few minutes. I made this yesterday and goes well with a good hot sauce.

Seriously. Just dump a bunch of things you like (ex. Chicken, tomatoes, onions, garlic, tomato sauce, various spices and water/broth), put it on low heat in a Crock Pot when you head out for work, and it'll be an amazingly tasty meal when you get home.
