Are there any websites, or any recipes you know of, that are HEALTHY? Any kind of salads, or anything else that’s healthy

I am sick of eating cheap TV dinners, chicken, fast food, and other junk food.
Thanks everyone! And Lynda, that sounds like a good idea!

Go to a local library or big bookstore and browse through all the books in the cookbook section. Start with the regular American foods. There are so many types of cookbooks targeting various audiences with any number of special needs. Even if you find one that includes “healthy recipes” scan through the recipes to see if those are foods or ingredients that you would actually buy, prepare and eat. Also notice if you have the necessary utensils to prepare the food – if you like that style of food preparation.
If you find a book that you like, note the title and author. If it’s too expensive, ask for it as a birthday or Christmas gift.
The other option is, note what healthy foods you like to eat, for instance wraps, salads, stir fry cooking, soups, stews, casseroles. Then look up the recipes in the internet.
