Answer
What a wonderful person you are, this is a perfect gift to give to your mom.
New products make cooking easy now days. I have tried many of the following and they are delicious.
.
1. Check out the sealed PRE-COOKED beef tips, roast, pot roast, pork roast, chicken, ham, pork chops, meatload, and etc. You will find these packages near the meat section, they are not frozen. Ask a clerk for help in finding them. Use this for your meat dish with a side dish or two of vegetables, rice, or potatoes which can all be found on shelves in packages or boxes, or in the freezer section, or canned.
.
You can now buy packaged rice that you pop into the microwave.
OR bags of rice that you put into boiling water (package and all). The chicken flavor is delicious. Ask a clerk where to find them on the shelves.
.
Packages of dried REAL potatoes that you add water to; they are found on the shelves. Read directions.
.
Gravies in jars. (always read directions)

4. CATALINA CHICKEN
(one of my family's favorite recipes)
Printed from COOKS.COM:
1 whole chicken, cut into serving pieces or 4-6 lg. breasts
1 onion, sliced
1 bottle Catalina salad dressing (not French)
Dash of garlic salt
Dash of pepper
Greased baking dish (Pam works well, as well as shortening)
Pre heat oven at 350 degrees.
Wash and clean chicken thoroughly. Sprinkle garlic salt and pepper on each piece of chicken, both sides. Lay chicken pieces bottom side up on greased baking dish in single layer. Layer onions on top chicken. Pour Catalina dressing over the onions and chicken to thoroughly cover both.
Cover baking dish with foil and bake for about 30 minutes. Baste, and turn chicken pieces over, skin side up, and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Baste again and bake for an additional 15 minutes uncovered, just to brown the chicken. You may need to add water between baking times, depending on how hot your oven gets, so that the dressing does not evaporated. The chicken has its own juices, so just remember to keep all pieces immersed in the sauce. Serves 4.
This works great also in the crock pot. Follow directions above, except add 1/4 cup of water along with the dressing (do not use French dressing).
This recipe is good using chicken wings only.

Chicken in Mushroom Sauce - another family favorite:
http://www.campbellkitchen.com/recipedetâ¦
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (Regular, 98% Fat Free or 25% Less Sodium)
1/2 cup milk
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
4 cups hot cooked rice (if you wish)
Directions:
HEAT oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 10 min. or until browned.
ADD soup, milk and black pepper. Heat to a boil. Cover and cook over low heat 5 min. or until chicken is done.
Serve with/over cooked rice if you wish.
.
5. The top brands of frozen dinners are very good now and are perfect for one or two people house holds. These are found in the freeze section at the store.
Just add a canned or frozen vegetable as a side dish.
You can buy salad greens in lagre packages now. Buy the ones that have been pre-washed. Check the date!
Add your own dressing which you can buy in bottles.

7. Supermarket deli's have roasted chickens, fried chickens, roast beef, and side dishes. You can stop in on the way home and grab a quick dinner to take home. No cooking.
.
8. Crock Pot Cooking (also known as Slow Cooking).
Put the food into the crock pot in the morning, set on low heat, and dinner will be ready in the evening. Here is a quick video on how to use them:

.
10. No need to "bake". There are many pies and cakes that are precooked. You can find them in the freezer section at your grocery store. Ask a clerk to help you find them. Be sure to read the directions before you buy.
The stores bake shop has cakes and pie too. These are made daily and are not frozen.

By the way...you will be able to buy precooked or precooked-smoked-turkeys for Thanksgiving or Christmas when the holidays are here. Smoked hams too. NO cooking, just heat and serve. OR you can get a precooked chicken from the store's deli department, just right for two people. The deli will have side dishes too. OR you can buy canned sweet potatoes, canned/frozen vegetabl
