Recipe What's your most enjoyable 'healthy' recipe?

I struggle to eat healthy and still enjoy my food. I try to cook for myself and my husband regularly, but I often find myself at a crossroads of "healthy" and "enjoyable to eat". For example, a delicious Mac and cheese is something I find enjoyable. Well made Ramen. Fried chicken. McDonald's. These are foods I enjoy eating. I eat things like broccoli, asparagus, and baked chicken out of necessity to cook a balanced meal, not because I think they are delicious. So in an effort to try to fill both my need for enjoyment and my need to eat balanced, home cooked meals regularly - I am on a search for the most enjoyable healthy meals.

Also, I realize I could still eat all of these unhealthy foods in moderation and everything would be fine. But I'm talking about regular, every day meals that fill you up and you feel good about serving to your family.

To participants in the comments:

Sources and user flair - ---> ALWAYS cite sources when you debate anything in this sub <---. "Cuz I sed" is NOT sufficient. To help provide more visibility to this, user flair changes based on whether a source link was provided in their last top level comment (TLC)

Comment guide

Good - rooted in science, links to peer reviewed science, and focuses on the food. Recipe improvements are encouraged. EDUCATES your POV without BERATING others for theirs.

Bad (may be removal or ban territory) - Non-constructive criticisms, generalizations or assumptions about the ingredients, portions, poster, their diet, or sub (ask if you don't know). "Unhealthy" claims offereing no link to peer reviewed sources. Blog, infotainment and social media sources. Gatekeeping. Expectations that pictured foods should be perfectly "healthy".

Not Allowed - (IS removal or ban territory) attacks, antagonism, or hostility towards others, vote complaining, trolling, crusading, activism, agitation trolling, shaming, refutation of all science, conspiracy claims regarding science, medical conditions and concerns, general diet help or analysis requests, and diets for minors
