One of my favorite websites that I return to again and again for simple, “made-from-scratch” recipes is:
http://www.thefamilyhomestead.com
On the page entitled “The Homestead Kitchen“, you will find Crystal Miller’s delicious family recipes that she uses to feed her own 8 children.
Probably a good 1/3 of the recipes I make at home have come from her web site, because like you mentioned above, I like cooking with “real” ingredients, but I do not have the time or the desire to be a gourmet chef every night. 😉
