Life has been busy recently. But then again, when is it not? We've all got a million projects on our plates (okay, make that more like 10), and the ability to whip together quick, cheap dinners has real value.

Look, most of the time we can rely on easy staples like Pasta with Whatever's in the Vegetable Drawer, Anything with a Fried Egg, and Soups Invented by Busy Moms.
