good recipes for a new cook?

This is my first year of college living off campus, without the cafeteria. YAY!
I have a few basic cookbooks but would like some new ideas. I have basic to moderate cooking skills, I am really good with chicken, but a little shaky with beef. I need to get better at working with beef because my boyfriend is a ranch kid and we get free beef (every type imaginable.) I have pots and pans, baking dishes, a good oven and a tiny BBQ grill.
I am basically looking for any recipe that is quick, tasty and made from relatively cheap and easy to find ingredients.
Main courses, side dishes, and desserts would all be appreciated.

Thanks a bunch!
Ok guys, Spaghetti? Honestly?
I know how to cook dishes like bacon wrapped chicken in creamy mushroom sauces and can pretty much follow the majority of recipes, I just need practice.
