Answer
Watch for excessively processed(lunch meats, mayonaise, margarine, some salad dressings) salt added, high fat foods.Restrict carbonated soft drinks, sodas, candy, cookies, and fast food.Learn to read product labels. Follow portion control, low sugar, low fat-lots of fruit and vegetables, lean cuts of fish and meat. Artifical sweetners should be avoided.
Breakfast: fruit, low fat yogurt, whole grain cereal with 1 or 2 % low fat milk, 100% juice(no sugar added), oatmeal with fruit and no more than 2 teaspoons of raw sugar, occassionally a poached or soft boiled egg with whole grain bread with 1 tbspn real butter, or with peanut butter and honey
Lunch/ dinner: fresh fruit, steamed vegetables, 4 oz broiled boneless skinless chicken breast, fish filets, tuna, lean beef or turkey breast. Pasta with tomato based sauces. Homemade soups.
Snacks and treats: fresh fruit and vegetables, all natural fruit snacks and fruit roll ups, string cheese, low fat,and salt crackers, peanut butter, whole fruit spreads, sandwiches of whole grain bread, vanilla wafers, molasses, or ginger bread cookies(any low fat, low sugar varieties).
Drinks:water, 100% fruit juices, 1 or 2% low fat milk, herbal teas(hot or iced) lightly sweetened.
This doesn't mean an occassional piece of candy, chocolate chip cookie, pizza or hamburger can't be had, these just shouldn't be first and constant fare.
As for recipes follow the above guidelines. Suggestions: Grill meats and steam vegetables then season with herbs and spices. Use as natural ingredients as you can get: raw sugar, nothing with high fructose sugar or syrup, sea salt(has trace minerals and natural iodine), watch for added salt, too.
Hope this helps. Good luck and God Bless.

I'd like to implement some lean protein if possible, and definitely veggies, but nothing too exotic (I want to keep it to what I've already got in the fridge or pantry). Any suggestions?
