Get some Bisquick. Its so versatile; you can make "impossible pies," casseroles, and pizza with it. Another idea is to grill chicken or some other meat and heat up some frozen veggies and serve with rice. Pasta can also be healthy and versatile. Cook the pasta and add in some veggies sauteed in a little bit of olive oil and serve it with a salad and bread.

First of all you have to get rid of that damned microwave oven. It’s bad for the food and it’s bad for you. Second, you should get help. Your husband may well do. You’re pregnant and cooking is not always easy.
A simple dish is pot roasted chicken with rice and vegetables.
For 2 portions you need one chicken breast. Put it in the oven (not the microwave, but the real one) preferably in a stainless steel or a enamelled metal caserole or tray. Add a cup (enough to cover the meat) of cold water. Pour in around 2 spoon fulls of cooking oil – olive or sunflower will do. Add black ground pepper, basil, garlic cloves (2-3) and some salt according to your taste.
Put it in the heated oven (140-160 degrees Celsius) and let it cook. Look at it an see it’s in order from time to time.
Now for the side-dish. You need some 100 grams of preboiled indian rice, and some vegetables: green beans – 50 grams, peas- 50 grams, cauliflower, chopped carrots, one small chopped onion, sprouts, etc. First of all put the minced onion and a spot of ground black pepper in around 2-3 spoons of cooking oil in a caserole. Put it on fire. When the oil begins heating and roasting a little bit the onions, add hot water. CAREFUILL WHEN YOU DO THAT! Use thermo-insulating gloves and be careful. It can burst in your face. Let the onions simmer. Add the rest of the vegetables and boil them with the oil and spice. Add the rice. Simmer and add water progressively. It should be absorbed by the rice. When you’re done, the rice should "flourish" and the vegetables should be well done.
Let it stay aside when ready, covered with a lid and "sweat" a bit. Serve warm, with the piece of chicken breast, some sauce from the roasted chicken, and stewed vegetables and rice as a side dish. Goes well with a red dry wine and green salad with olive oil, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Minced dill on the salad gives it an extra flavor. Instead of fresh vegetables you might as well use deepfrozen veggies or a vegetable mix. Good luck!
