Easy, fast and healthy meals.... Is there such a thing?

I am at a loss right now as to what to feed my family.  I want healthy well balanced meals, light on the meat, that don't take a long time to make, that kids are likely to at least consider trying it.
I don't cater to my kids at all.  Sometimes I make dishes they like, however it is usually only if I can do so in a healthy way.  Get those processed foods out.  Make everything as much from scratch as I can.
The downside I have noticed lately is that I am spending way too much time in the kitchen, both cooking and cleaning up meals.
Due to the fact that we are a foster family, we have to be flexable.  We never know when we will get a placement, or how demanding that placement will be.  I have found myself more than once with a plan, including groceries allready bought, that I don't have time or energy to make because of unexpected plans.
The most demanding placement we had ended up with us eating out much more than we should, just due to stress, and time availability.
I feel like there should be answers out there, but I'm having trouble finding them.  Any suggestions?
