What's your secret to a "quick and easy" meal?

Often, I find that I end up having to rush in a meal, or not eat it at all. If I want to prepare a breakfast/lunch/dinner that makes everyone happy, it would take me at least an hour (not to mention the--urgh--clean-up).
As well, we all know that frozen foods and microwavable meals are not the best for our health. I searched high and low for meals that were easy to prepare, and makes everyone happy.
One thing I recently discovered was frozen veggies. They can be steamed in 10 minutes or so, and if I pair them with a bowl of leftover rice...voila!
To add to that, frozen flavoured eel (yes, eel) can be one of the best additions to a meal. Simply cut open the bag, chop a few pieces, place it on precooked rice, and pop it in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes. Not only do we add healthy omega-3 fatty acids to our meal, the wonderful flavouring makes the rice a delight to eat!
So, I was wondering what are some quick meals you like to whip up in a hurry? Feel free to share them!

when i have to hurry......i usually just go to my snack cupboard...haha...just kidding.
A quick meal huh? um...i think i really like making miso soup. It is so quick and easy. Just toss in some veggiees, fish balls, tofu, seaweed and spoonful of miso from supermarket. Takes like five minutes to heat up, throw in some green onions and its done!!!
i like to eat nan bread with it as well.its quick, easy and yummy :D

Ohh! I love noodles! And that's a great idea...all under 30 minutes! Plus, only one pot is needed! :)
