Martha Stewart's magazine - Everyday Food has recipes and a shopping list in it. Each month the magazine gives you a week of recipes and the shopping list to go with it. There are a ton of other recipes in it as well and cooking tips and lots of other food related information. You may enjoy the magazine more than a traditional cook book.
However, your poor attitude toward making dinner needs to change. You need to realize that making good healthy food doesn't have to be a chore and it doesn't have to be complex. A simple roast chicken with fresh veggies on the side is easy and healthy. The key is fresh food. You can do a million things with pasta - sometimes I just look on the recipes on the box for ideas and then go get the ingredients. Get fresh ingredients and have a positive outlook and you'll be making really good food soon.
