Years ago when I was single, I found a book entitled "Fifteen Minute Meals", by Emalee Chapman. I see amazon.com still has some used copies for sale. Every meal had a prep time of 15 minutes or less. This did not include purchasing the ingredients so it required a little advanced planning, but many recipes contained common everyday things the average kitchen might already have.

Many evenings I'd come home tired and hungry, within 30 minutes dinner was ready. I often improvised and came up with all sorts of things once I got the idea.

I still have the book and could use it, but I'm not the primary cook now.
