Whenever I try making something from a recipe it rarely turns out as it should. Having married nearly 50 years ago I now just go on experience and instinct. I truly believe cooking is relatively easy as long as you keep it simple. Sausages and mash with beans or peas, omelette, chicken pieces browned and put in a casserole or slo cooker with herbs, oxo, tom puree, root veg, Worcester sauce. You can add dumplings for final 40/50 minutes in a slow cooker, so easy following packet instructions.
As Lynibissays the dishes mentioned don't really need measurements. The kids made cakes at school using an egg as measurement 1 large egg = roughly 2oz/56.5g 4 large eggs = 8oz/ 250g
Why not make a big pot of soup? That's what I do when I have veggies that need to be used up, very cheap, healthy and easy 
Start simple - for a delicious cheese toastie:
Lesson 1
- Grill one side of sliced seeded brown bread
- One toasted, spread tomato ketchup on the other (uncooked) side
- Put slices of mature cheddar on top of the uncooked ketchup side (no butter!)
- Return to the grill
- Remove from the grill once the cheese has melted
- Let it cool a little
Enjoy! Super tasty, and hard to beat in my opinion!
Lesson 2 - Put sliced tomatoes on top
