Recently i've been trying to get a little creative and trying to make new dinners and i'm looking for some inspiration..but here's the thing..i don't have an oven or stovetop in my apartment at this time. I have an electric skillet which is what i prepare most of my meals in, also a convection oven and microwave. I've mainly been making chicken dishes..stir frys, some italian dishes, sometimes a steak..i'm looking for some new recipe ideas, any and all ideas are greatly appreciated!

I need some very low cost dinner ideas?
Princess V
Me and my husband are going through a rough patch and have hardly any money to buy food...I need some decent dinner idea's, we have a ton of Kraft mac and cheese. But don't base all your answers on that and we prefer to have meat for dinner.
I didn't say it had to be high end meat, just something, like a can of tuna or ground beef or chicken. doesn't have to be steak (haven't had one of those in forever) we eat Hot dogs alot and hamburgers, just wanted some more idea's.
