I definitely encourage you to try some of the OTCC recipes. Most have been really flavorful and generally have used some fairly simple, but really classic techniques. Once you've done these techniques a few times it then will open up a lot of recipes. And I'd encourage learning to cook at least a few simple basic dishes as anything you cook at home from scratch is usually a lot healthier than anything you buy in the store, even the healthier frozen meals, and often a lot healthier than restaurant food as they often add a lot of extra butter or other fat. Most of the dishes don't need all the extra fat, but it is what we expect restaurant food to be like (someone joked recently, and I can't remember where, that if you accidentally walked into a kitchen in most places you'd be coated in butter before they'd allow you to go back to your seat).
