Answer 1

What I try to do is (1) stick to foods closest to their natural state (for example, chicken breast, not chicken nuggets; baked potato, not french fries).  Many foods, bought fresh, are delicious served simply, with a little lemon juice, soy sauce, and/or fresh herbs.   Take a look at weightwatcher's website for some recipe ideas - it has a tab just for recipes and cooking tips.   Also, our tax dollars are at work - look at nutrition.gov and you will find a whole section devoted to food shopping and meal planning that includes recipes.  I have also found a lot of low-fat, healthy recipes at different heart hospital websites like the Mayo Clinic .   If you are really at a loss and want lots of recipes to change your whole way of cooking, I recommend www.savingdinner.org.  For a small fee you can get monthly menus and grocery lists linked from your email--I've done it and it's worth it to jump-start a new plan.  There are heart healthy and other low-fat, low carb and "body clutter" options that provide a healthy and cost-effective, easy-to-prepare way to eat.  You can sign up free for a weekly e-mail and also download free recipes from the site to try.  Good luck and good eating!
