There are a lot of healthy recipes available on the internet. I am nutritionist and often direct people to use the Go For 2 and 5 website (this is aimed at helping people to reach the goal of eating 2 fruit and five vegetables daily)
http://www.gofor2and5.com.au/recipes.asp鈥?/a>
The Dietitians Association of Australia has some good recipes at
www.daa.asn.au
The following website is great in that it generates a week's meal plan. Be careful because some weekly menus are low in vegetables (and some recipes are high in fat) - add extra salad of veg to some of these:
