Cooking classes might help to get you to be one of those people who can just throw things together - I have to follow recipes, unfortunately. But maybe try what I'm doing! Come up with a weekly menu on Sunday and print it out and stick with it! Use your cookbooks, food blogs, recipe sharing sites, foodnetwork.com, etc. But whatever you try, personally, I would start out easy and work your way up in difficulty so you don't just end up hating cooking! And if you want, come over one night and we'll cook together!
