Need meal help!

I'm not new to MFP or eating well but I just recently moved out of my parents with my boy and am on quite a budget now. Before I would only buy for myself because I knew what I liked and didn't worry about prices. My boyfriend is used to good ole mom-type cooking:P I'd like to find a way to make meals incorporating my healthy lifestyle and his love for food.

Any easy, cheap meal ideas/recipes are appreciated! Also, food replacement ideas (like ground turkey in exchange for ground beef and all that jazz) THANKS!
