Frozen chicken breasts, frozen corn and a jar of salsa. Throw into the crockpot on low while at the office then shred chicken. You can put over rice, on tortillas, plain, on salad. Add black beans, jalapeño etc. Very easy and versatile.0

A can of tuna chunks + chopped tomatoes + balsamic vinegar0

A curry with rice during the week because it is very quick to make. The rice can take up to 20 minutes to make, but you can make the curry during that time.
Spaghetti Bologna is another quick dish to make, which also takes around 20 minutes to make.
Last night I made couscous with spinach, mushrooms, green beans and coriander. I baked some falafels in the oven for around 15 minutes. Very filling and delicious and this dish will last for the week.

Fry up some hamburger with onions and garlic, mix that into some cooked elbow macaroni and a can or two of tomato soup with about 1/4 cup of milk.
It was my mom's "chop suey" that she threw together on busy days. Sounds weird but is tasty.0 -
Salad mix or spinach mix plus 1/2 cup navy beans (or cannellini beans) 1 oz shredded cheese, 1 egg scrambled in the pan (or 1 boiled egg) 1 oz croutons (or 1 slice of bread toasted and cut into cubes) + 2 tbsp. favorite salad dressing. Toss it all together and voila.
Cook 1/2 cup rice (takes about 20 min). Cook a bag of stir fry veggies (or any preference of frozen veg) in a pan with a little soy sauce, garlic and water. Once cooked, remove from pan and scramble 1 egg in the same pan. Once the egg is cooked, add rice and veggies to pan and toss.
Take a slice of naan bread and top with feta or cottage cheese, parmesan, spinach, tomatoes and leftover meat if you prefer. Place in broiler for 5-6 min or until cheese is bubbly and golden.0 -

I blatantly stole the idea from @exwilson and it was an epiphany for me, too.0 -

I do this rather frequently with the salsa. Sometimes I add a can of black beans and/or a bag of frozen corn just to add some more "meat" to the dish. I also add a bit of taco seasoning for a little added flavor. I make my own taco seasoning mix, so I just kind of sprinkle a bit around in the crockpot. It is awesome over brown rice, in tacos, in quesadillas, over salad, etc. and it's great leftover! It is so yummy!0 -

Get a rotisserie chicken from your local grocery store and whole wheat tortillas. Low fat shredded cheese, guacamole and salsa. Tacos! A meal for a few days if you repurpose the chicken, you can make a lot of stuff. Chicken over brown rice with broccoli, quesadillas, or throw it in some pasta and add salsa0
