Two tips, though I don't know if your family will eat them: couscous and bulghur are both grains that can be cooked by boiling water in the microwave, pouring it over them, and covering them. Couscous is ready in five minutes. Bulghur takes a bit longer, but you haven't got anything steaming up the kitchen. I made a salad today of couscous with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, basil, crushed red pepper, a bit of soy sauce, a lot of chopped scallions and green pepper, and some chickpeas. But you can do a lemony chicken thing with bulghur instead, or use canned fish.

Maybe it would be too squeaky, though.
