Cooking is really easy, but one of the problems is that English-speakers are really really REALLY awful at writing and making lessons, and even at video tutorials. It's not just with cooking, it's with all handicrafts and even just stuff like math and foreign languages. We were a lot better at teaching most things 100 years ago, so I don't get why it happens. But anyway, it means it's their fault for making it seem hard and then you feel really stupid for not getting it. Meanwhile if I go find instructions in Swedish for the same thing they're usually really clear.
Here's "simple recipes" from the main Swedish grocery chain, if you click around and find a picture (or a few pictures) you think looks good I can translate them and you can try them out:

you can also google "enkelt mat" (simple food) "lättlagade mat" (easily-made food), "student mat recept" (student food recipe) or "snabb mat recept" (quick food recipe) and just choose a picture and i can find/translate a recipe for you!
"korvstroganoff" (sausage stroganoff - sausages in a sort of tomato-ish sauce) and "kladdkaka" (gooey cake - it's like brownies) are two things that even people who can't cook can cook really fast, as well stuff like broccoli-potato soup, and that's all classic, cheap (here at least) Swedish food ; D I've never made pea soup myself but maybe that too...
