American nutritional recipes that can be cooked quickly?

I am an Indian man soon going to shift to the US for Graduate education. I am not much aware of the American diet and the local food cuisine and would like to know more about it. My question has 2 parts:

1. What are some of the best household (nutritional) recipes for breakfast/lunch/dinner that can be cooked easily and are not heavy on the pocket?


2. Where do I find the recipe (steps) for making these food dishes?
