learn to cook really well

I am doing the South Beach diet right now and they have some great recipies which help me cook great meals but some are gross, I guess you have to start somewhere.

WOW I made a great meal last night of Roast Beef, cooked veggies, potatoes, gravey, and a little bit of pasta. I am so happy and full.

does anyone have any good pork chop recipes? Also does anyone know what would go really well as a side dish? Or any good recipes that are inexpensive to make, like using items that anyone would have in there house. Thank you
