Easy healthy recipes?
Any suggestions? Now that I'm back to work after maternity leave, there's no time to cook (not that I ever spent a lot of time in the kitchen) and I hate that we rotate the same few meals.
This is what we usually do weekly: Grilled chicken on salad (destroyed with blue cheese dressing)
Chili Beef Tacos (a WW recipe we destroy with cheese & sour cream)
Steak on the BBQ
Burgers & Fries
What can we do that's healthy and maybe even something I can prepare a head of time? I know I can do zitis and pasta dishes ahead of time but that's not that diet friendly.

Do you like fish? You can do it on the bbq or in a frying pan.
You don't have to skip the pasta, maybe just swap a few things to make it healthier...try low sugar/sodium sauce, low fat cheese and whole wheat pasta. Same for the tacos...low fat cheese & ground turkey meat. I'm a fan of the turkey hot dog's and they are only 45 calories each! Veggie burgers are great too and most are under 100 calories.

YEP! I don't even work, but with the baby it's cooking and I don't need to worry about doing it if she does not nap when I need her too, or if my DH does not get home at a specific time.
I also make sauce so I have make pasta with lots of veggies, raviolis, pizza, etc.
