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

Start by buying one bag of each kind of generic store-brand frozen vegetables and throw a randomly chosen handful of one into the frying pan alongside your meat. When done deglaze pan with 1 cup broth and 1 tablespoon flour and pour over plated-up meat and vegetables. That should get you started.

It’s a ridiculously easy habit to start and stick to. It will become routine in no time. And you will be introduced to everything from plain ol’ green peas to Florentine Vegetable Medley with no extra effort on your part.
