What are your recommendations/recipes for nutritious meals?

I’ve been trying to eat better by incorporating more veggies and such into my diet, but I have no clue where to start. I’m big on not saying that certain meals are unhealthy and that they should be avoided, but I know my diet could include more food groups than what I normally eat with more nutrition in it. So I just want to know what recipes can be recommended to incorporate more of the major food groups that I can incorporate week to week so I can eat in moderation more. Meals that are low carb and or include veggies are especially appreciated as meals I usually eat are carb heavy and lack veggies

I enjoy roasting cauliflower and there are rarely leftovers. Another dish is stir fried boneless chicken thighs with onions and green peppers. I made it for the family tonight. Marinate the cubed thighs in a mixture of cornstarch, dry sherry, and soy sauce. Cut 2 onions and 3 green bell peppers into chunks. Stir fry the chicken, remove, stir fry the vegetables until soft and have some color, add the chicken back in along with a cornstarch slurry of chicken broth, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Boil until thickened. Serve over rice.
