Create an RSS feed with your favorite cooking sites such as Cookinglight.com as suggested. There's a load of cooking sites, allrecipes.com is one of my favorites.
Anyways, with the RSS feeds, you can usually customize them to the recipes you want and with the feeds set, you will then be fed recipes in your RSS reader of choice. I set mine to receive 'em daily.

To take care of everyone's taste for steak I'd suggest going to strictly sirloin. You put a good rub on that and cook it right, you won't ever have a complaint in the house.
As far as I know it's the leanest steak out there. I make a damn fine London Broil too. It's all in the seasoning. I use a fair amount of flavored salts, but depending on the rest of your diet for the day it's still manageable. |

I don't have the recipe available right now, but I can post it later or you can just find one- I make a turkey meatloaf that's pretty healthy, not very expensive and my kids will generally eat it, especially if you put ketchup on it. I substitute plain oatmeal for breadcrumbs, use egg white instead of the whole egg. You could also use a low fat % ground beef if you don't like turkey.
Below is a dish I make that my kids will eat. You can tweak the ingredients to budget or taste, or health level. For instance, you could leave out the spinach if you don't want to pay for a whole bag of spinach leaves, use low sodium broth, and you could substitute ground turkey for beef if you want to stay away from red meat. The orzo is good because it can act as a sort of substitute for rice. It's inexpensive and helps make the dish go further. 1 lb ground beef 1 large onion, chopped 3 garlic cloves 2 14 1/2 oz cans diced tomatoes (the ones with basil,oregano & garlic) 1 14 1/2 oz can beef broth 1 6 oz can tomato paste 3/4 cup uncooked orzo 1 tsp Italian seasoning 2 cups fresh spinach Cook beef, onion & garlic in soup pot until meat isn't pink, drain Stir in tomatoes, broth, tomato paste, orzo and Italian seasoning. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until orzo is tender. Add spinach, cook for a minute or two until spinach wilts. |

Maybe a big piece is just substitution.
I feel like being able to teach them to enjoy whole grains instead of complex carbs (e.g. whole grain Cheerios instead of regular. I bought these Kashii whole grain honey puffs and they were just as good as "Smacks". Whole wheat bagels or bread) Replacing a lot of the fatty meats with turkey--in certain cases, it tastes almost as good as beef or pork or ham. It might up your grocery bill just slightly, but it helps you to cook a lot of the same things they enjoyed, have it taste fairly close to the real thing, but at a much better health value. |

Honestly JOhn,
My diet consists of, Chicken breast (baked, sauteed in olive oil, or foreman grill) Broc, Asparagus, bananas, ensure, Water and EAS Dark Chocolate Low carb drinks. I've serious gotten my six pack almost ENTIRELY back (in only a month) - of course, (that's all combined w/ running 4 mis. daily and 100 crunches and 100 reverse leg-lifts.) Fridays, I cheat and DON'T work out and eat whatever I want, all day.

Consistantly elevating your heart rate through exercise (your choice of which) 4 times a week for 40 minutes each and eating fewer calories than you burn will do the trick. |
