I love this question. Basically, I cook healthy and cheap most of the time
and so I hope these suggestions will be helpful:

* salad of cooked rice + kidney beans, tomatoes, spring onions, parsley,
lemon juice, olive oil
* pasta sauce: vegetarian tomato based sauces (I go through many cans)
* pea soup from frozen peas, veggie stock, with some onion and mint.
Optional: adding leftover lettuce (most kinds work). Another option: adding
cream or milk. Puree the thing, serve with bread or as a starter
* lentil salad: cook green or brwon lentils, drain, add cider vinegar to
taste, let marinate until cool. Then add lots of cilantro, spring onions,
maybe zucchini, dress with thick yoghurt with some s+p.
* beef barley soup (cook lots to get the price per serving down, freeze
elftovers)
* pasta sauce: peas, ham, cream (or a low-fat bechamel). Add parsley
* stew tomatoes, make some space in the middle and poach an egg in the
there. Use italian or arabic flavorings
* frittatas or spanish tortilla de patatas
* puttanesca sauce for pasta
* oven baked potatoes served with chicken in a low-fat sauce
* moroccan chicken tajine with lemons and olives
* tabbouleh (bulgur salad, add as many leafy herbs and veggies as you like).
Maybe serve of with some white fish or salmon.
