I really struggle to find thing's to make which are just simple and straight forward. So was hoping some people could maybe help me out a little bit?

Been doing My fitness pal for just over a week now, im sticking to my 1200 calorie limit a day. But it seems i'm just having the same old things for breakfast and lunch since that's all i can really think about having since thats all i really know!

I would really appreciate if you could give me some straight forward recipes like, how to make a reasonable calorie/fat amount fajita or a spag bol or anything really? I dont really like salad which is stupid, but i Looooove pasta..

Basically im open to suggesions, i would really appreciate your help, thankyou!!
