Healthy and economic recipes?

I am starting to eat healthier, but it's really hard to just "jump right in" when you've been eating junk for all of your life. I hate when diets call for things like tofu and beans, because it is jut not realistic for someone who is not use to eating healthy. You have to build up to that.

So that being said, does anyone have recipes like chicken, pasta, smoothies, ect that are really good, healthy, and cheap to make? Thanks!
