Healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner ideas?

I know the basics...chicken salads and veggies. Does anyone know of any quick, delicious, filling lunch ideas? For dinners something fairly quick as well....im trying to start eating healthier and feeding my family better. Were big on pastas but I hear too much pasta is bad for you but im lost aside from chicken and rice and veggies for dinner..I can't think of anything really healthy for lunch all I can think of is salad :/ which is not my favorite. For breakfast....fruit oatmeal or eggs is really all I can think of. Any ideas will be appreciated!


Answer
Here are some healthy meal ideas :)
- if possible go for natural/organic foods

~ Oatmeal - with oatmeal, you can try different healthy toppings to make it more fun
Topping ideas: almond or peanut butter, nuts, fresh berries/fruit, dried fruit like cherries/cranberries/blueberries/raisins, cinnamon, skim milk or non-dairy milk, nonfat greek yogurt/regular yogurt, natural jam, honey, agave nectar, etc.
* Non-dairy milk like almond, soy, rice or coconut milk.

~ Healthy cereal (like Kashi or Nature's Path organic, high fiber, not too high in sugar) with skim milk or non-dairy milk or greek/regular yogurt. You can top with fresh berries/fruit.

~ Greek yogurt paired with a fruit, nuts if you'd like, and a fresh fruit salad.
Fruit salad combination ideas:
- Strawberries, kiwi
- Watermelon, grapes, strawberries
- Banana, mango, pineapple
- Watermelon, honeydew melon, pineapple
- Raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries
- Apple or pear, strawberries

~ Homemade smoothie: using fruit/berries of your choice with skim milk or non-dairy milk with nonfat yogurt, you can also add 1 - 2 tbsp ground flax seed.

Lunch & Dinner ideas:

~ Sandwich.
On whole grain bread like multigrain, ezekiel, rye, whole wheat pita, whole grain tortilla, etc.
- Pesto, tomato, baby spinach & mozzarella melt
- Falafel & hummus
- Almond or Peanut butter & natural jam - nut butter with no added sugar
- Egg & cheese, egg white & spinach in a whole grain tortilla, with cheese like goat or cream cheese
- Chickpea wrap (with things like grated carrot, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, mixed baby greens, salad dressing, etc.)
- Grilled tofu or tempeh in wrap/sandwich - with things like tomato/cherry tomatoes, cucumber, salad greens, hummus or salad dressing, grated carrot, etc.
- Black bean wrap with salsa & some cheese; or a quesadilla on a whole grain tortilla
- Veggie burger
- Hummus, lettuce, grated carrot, sliced cherry tomatoes in a whole wheat pita half

For salad, since it isn't your favorite, you could try adding different things into it to make it tastier/healthier.

~ Salad: mixed baby greens, baby romaine, Italian salad mix, romaine lettuce, etc. with things like cherry tomatoes/tomato, cucumber, low-fat salad dressing or olive oil/vinegar, bell pepper, red onion, dried cranberries, goat or feta crumbles, walnut crumbles or almond slithers, grated carrot, etc.
* For more protein to the salad you can add things like:
- Chickpeas or any beans
- Grilled cubes of tofu or tempeh
- Salmon or Tuna
- Sliced hard boiled eggs

~ Vegetables like broccoli, carrot, zucchini, mushrooms, kale, red onion stir fried in olive oil with tofu, with wild/brown rice or whole grain noodles.

~ Omelets with baby spinach/cheese - you can use just egg whites sometimes to; eggs are great for protein try them boiled, poached, scrambled, etc...with healthy toast, salad, veggies, fruits, etc.

~ Whole grain or brown rice pasta with basil pesto, a little olive oil or tomato sauce + baby spinach or kale, any veggies if you want, goat cheese/cheese, with salad/veggies.
- Or a pasta salad with things like chickpeas or tofu, mozzarella or goat cheese, cherry tomatoes, veggies like zucchini, broccoli, baby spinach, grilled vegetables, etc.

~ Lentil or mixed bean salad.
You can add things like chopped bell pepper, cherry tomatoes/tomato, cucumber, grated carrot, veggies, salad dressing, etc.

~ Lentil vegetable soup
