In need of healthy, quick recipes?

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.
