Looking for healthy recipes

Hi all! 

I am looking for healthy recipes for dinner mainly.  Or recipes that would leave leftovers for lunch the next day.  Currently, my husband and I are trying to lose weight and I have us on the best routine I can with having 2 kids that are always asking for snacks...lol

We will eat a whole wheat bagel with peanut butter for breakfast (or sometimes he sneaks a blueberry bagel with cream cheese)

Then for lunch we are addicted to those Marie Calendar meals because they are quick, easy and actually taste good.  But they are SOOO fattening, so I have to get him off of those.

Then for dinner we try to eat just salad, or maybe a bowl of cereal or chicken and veggies.

Now...all this sounds not "diet-worthy" when reading it, but like I said, we've got 2 kids that are picky eaters and we are always rush rush rush!  So I am looking for the best quick, easy, yummy, healthy, yet filling recipes.  Do they even exist?  LOL  My husband is a big guy, so it's going to be a process getting him to eat less and of course the two boys eat EVERYTHING in their path.


Any advice or recipes or links to recipes would be SO SO appreciated.  :-)

Any chance you can make a meatloaf on the weekend? Use extra lean chop meat and then prepare it as you like, dry onion soup mix, egg, bread crumbs, catsup, however you enjoy it. Then you've got several meals....served with a vegetable & a salad, put it on a frajita with chopped peppers, lettuce, tomato, salsa, etc., on a roll with peppers & onions, even chop it up, add to tomato sauce and use over pasta. You can do alot with it...IF you like meatloaf.
