Any ideas for some tasty healthy recipes that won't leave me in the kitchen forever and won't cause me to have to buy super expensive ingredients I'll only use once?
Please only include ones you have personally tried. My husband and I are trying to choose healthier fare. However, I was raised cooking southern comfort food so my list for healthy things to cook is kind of limited to salads, roast, and oatmeal (blech I know).
Thanks!
I work long hours and have a long commute and don't always want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

Here are some simple and healthy recipe ideas =)
~ Spinach & cheese omelet (eggs, baby spinach, cheese of your choice) served with a salad or veggies + some healthy multigrain toast if you'd like.
- For salad try using mixed baby greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber & low-fat salad dressing. You can also add things like nuts, goat cheese or feta cheese crumbles, and dried cranberries. Try using organic ingredients if you can.
~ Vegan chili =) It's an easy, great recipe. It serves 6 - 8 people.
- 1 tbsp safflower or olive oil
- 1 large sweet onion, chopped
- 1 jar mild salsa
- 1 jar fire-roasted tomato sauce
- 1 can red kidney beans
- 1 package Yves veggie ground round
* Add oil & onion, cook on medium heat until the onion appears to be clear colored.
* Add sauce, salsa, beans - cook
* Add ground round & cook for at least 15 - 20 minutes.
- Serve with corn bread, multigrain bread, wild/brown rice or a whole grain tortilla + salad or veggies.
* Roasted salmon, sweet potato or wild/brown rice + steamed veggies or salad.

For the sweet potatoes - to cook them just brush them with olive oil, sprinkle them with salt, peppers & basil and bake.
* Smoked salmon & cream cheese bagels with a side salad.
* Mozzarella, pesto & tomato sandwich (you can try using goat cheese to) + salad
- Toast the bread, spread with pesto, add mozzarella & tomato slices.
- You can also try spreading the bread with pesto, adding cheese & tomato and putting it inside a sandwich press or waffle maker to heat up.
* Grilled vegetable & goat cheese wraps or whole wheat pitas filled with hummus & veggies & a salad.
* Whole grain pasta with tomato sauce & steamed baby spinach with goat cheese mixed into sauce. Served with a salad or steamed vegetables.
* Pasta salad with tuna or chickpeas. (whole grain or brown rice pasta, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cheese if you want, cucumber, peppers chopped, etc..with low-fat salad dressing) Served with salad or vegetables.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer
HEALTHY (AND DELICIOUS!) PIZZA: Get a Boboli WHOLE WHEAT crust, spread with seasoned (garlic, oregano, basil) tomato sauce or jar spaghetti sauce, sprinkle VEGGIE SHREDS made by Galazy Foods, in your organic foods section (cheese-like shreds made from soybeans; tastes JUST LIKE CHEESE when melted!) and top with your favorite VEGGIES (peppers, mushrooms, onions, whatever you like-just no meat!). Takes only about FIVE MINUTES to prepare and less than 10 minutes to cook, and tastes as good as pizzeria pizza (as long as you've remembered the garlic and the oregano)!
