I need food help!

I need help ladies! I have like 3 or 4 things I make on a regular basis, and none of them are particularly healthy. I also can't even tell you how much fast food I've eaten in the past week. I tend to go grocery shopping only once a month, so I run out of stuff a lot, or things go bad.

Can you all give me some idea of what your shopping lists are like? I'm looking for some good recipes too, so if you have one or a few, please share! Finally, how do you healthy eaters do it? I try to be healthy, but I'm failing miserably!

my standby is frozen tilapia... we eat it like 4 nights a week. its so full of protein and is lo cal and fat. i just cover that in seasonings (different every night, often just garlic and ginger) and salt & pepper & bake it at 425 for about 20 minutes... could not be easier. i also buy the steam-in-bag veggies (birds eye brand), they taste SO FRESH and i can usually find them for cheap + a coupon at the grocery. add some rice a roni (they have whole-grain varieties now). a super easy dinner that is healthy!

I have tons of frozen tilapia in my freezer, I should finally put it to use! At Albertson's, they have fillets vacuum-sealed in little bags for $1 each.
