Lots of things. Braised cabbage with onions and sausages comes to mind.

Use the force Luke... the microwave force that is.

One cup frozen mixed vegetables in the microwave = 3minutes.
Tip into frypan on the stove and add two eggs (or if you're trying to
be healthy, one egg and two whites). Scramble them up with the
vegetables = roughly 2 minutes.
Tip onto a plate and add salsa... and you've got a healthy meal in
roughly five minutes flat.

Tacos or Burritos:

If you buy the premade fried taco shells, all you need to cook is the
meat. If you use tuna or salmon even that is not necessary. if you use
groundbeef you usually get that done in less than ten minutes. Flour
tortilla shells work, and if you use a can of refried beans or the
above mentioned you can get it done in less than ten minutes. Also
there are lots of things you can prepare the night or day before, and
then just warm up.

I can cook pan fried eggs a number of different ways in under 10
minutes, and serve with toast and sausage.

Put a pot of salted water on stove and bring to a boil.

Put a package of frozen spinach in the microwave on high for six minutes.

Put egg noodles in the boiling water for seven minutes.

Stir spinach, nuke for two more minutes and press out most of the water with
a large spoon.

Drain egg noodles in a collander, put butter in the noodle pan, add noodles
and spinach, stirring with a fork until mixed. Add salt, pepper, parm
cheese, or any other kind of cheese you like. Toss until melty.

Put a pot of salted water on to boil.

Put frozen broc florets or chopped broc in the microwave for six minutes.

Dump angelhair pasta in water, boil for about, what, 4 minutes?

Stir broc and return to nuke for two minutes.

Drain pasta and put butter in empty pan with some milk and shredded cheddar,
parm, whatever kind of cheese. Add pasta back in with drained broc, salt and
pepper, grated parm to taste, toss until melty and hot. You can toss some
ham in there too.

Open a can of black beans, season with pepper and fresh garlic, a bit of
cumin and/or chili powder, a teaspoon of vinegar. Simmer for eight minutes.
Sprinkle with grated cheddar, serve with tortilla chips for dipping.

Macaroni, tuna, cheese, milk, tossed on top of the stove. Might take twelve
minutes.

One of my favourites: A tuna steak (seared briefly) and a green salad.
You can also microwave a small "baked" potato or two in under ten
minutes. I can also manage to whip up a mayonaise, yogurt, ketchup &
wasabi sauce for the potato (or sour cream or butter or cottage
cheese) and the whole thing takes under ten minutes to organise and
serve.

Of course you can substitute other fish for the tuna. But you can cook
most fish in well within your time constraints and the same goes for a
good cut of steak.

Another favourite for a quick meal: lightly scrambled eggs on toast or
with a green salad: three eggs in a bowl, add a splash of milk, whip
with a fork, pour into a small fry pan with heated butter with a good,
sweet curry powder added to the hot butter. Move the eggs around in
the pan while they cook to the consistency you like. In my case that's
"scrambled wet" - as we used to say.

With eggs there are other options. Fried, soft boiled, hard boiled,
coddled or poached.

For people who are actually interested in the subject I warmly recommend
_Cooking in Ten Minutes_ by Edouard de Pomiane. I have posted some
recipes from the book over the years.
