A new way of eating

I've been slowly changing the way we eat over the past several years.  More whole grains, less refined foods, less sugar, less meat.  But now I'm feeling the need to change even more.  And I need help.  We need to eat as healthy as possible to protect our health.  However, like all other moms, I am busy and don't want to spend all day in the kitchen.  Also, we home school which keeps me on my toes, I have a baby who doesn't want me to put him down, and I have lots of taste preferences to deal with.  Luckily, we don't have too many intolerances.  We're all fine with wheat, dairy, etc.  I feel blessed about that.

What I need is simple ideas.  Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks.  If your idea is a simple two-ingredient throw-together dish, I want to hear it!

Here are my criteria:

• Focus on fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and non-meat proteins.  
• No meats, poultry, or fish for now, but we're fine with eggs and cheese.
• No refined sugar or white flour.  No processed foods.
• No cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, etc.  Unless you want to be mean to Marty. :)
• If it has mustard or vinegar, I have to leave it out for certain family members so we try to stay away from those.
• Easy--not looking for gourmet, here. 
• Budget friendly
  
• Baby or kid-friendly--it would be great if I could feed it to the baby, too, but it has to at least please the children.

What do you think--should we make this a fun contest?  You could win... some of my homemade bread?  Some of my homemade yogurt?  A free concealed firearms permit class?  :)

I hope everyone will benefit from seeing everyone else's recipes!  Thanks everyone!

By the way, if you want to post a link to another website or blog with great ideas, that would be great, too.  I found this one, but her over-use of exclamation points is already driving me crazy.  (!!!!!)  Great information, though.  http://simplehealthytasty.blogspot.com/

P.S.  I think I need to also mention how we are currently eating, for comparison's sake.  We eat only homemade bread made from freshly ground whole wheat.  We drink smoothies a lot which we make with fresh oranges and a tiny bit of milk & vanilla.  We usually have fruit with breakfast, fruit or veggie with lunch, and a veggie for dinner.  We do eat dairy but we don't eat much meat at all and when we do it's either ground turkey or boneless skinless chicken.  We have a bit of a sweet tooth so we do make treats a couple times a week.  We never drink soda--only water.  We generally don't eat processed foods but sometimes we will buy mac & cheese.  No food coloring, no artificial sweeteners, no high fructose corn syrup.  We focus on whole foods and cook most of our foods from scratch.  We just need to step things up a notch.
