In need of healthy, quick recipes?

Question

We usually come home quite late from work and have been trying to put together a binder full of recipes for dinner that we can use.

We are looking for meals that are
1. Very quick to make
2. Mostly vegetarian, little to no meat
3. Very healthy, low cholesterol, low fat, low sodium, etc

Would anyone have some suggestions we could try out.

Thank you

Good luck! Maybe on a Saturday or when you're not working, you can try these out and see how they taste and see how much time it takes. That way, when you come back from work, you know what to make!
