I want to make a dish for BIL, who is having the heart issues. He is home, but I am sure his wife is very busy, so a nice meal would be appreciated.
Any suggestions.....they have 6 kids at home, so it has to be a large portion and NOT TOO expensive. I thought of a baked tuna cassarole, but I am not sure the kids would eat it, lol!

Everything I think of is either too fattening or too expensive for all those people :(
Sorry!!

Here is a great, easy and cheap crock pot recipe for BBQ chicken.

My kids love it. You can serve with rice or cornbread or almost anything!

I know Susan....I just dont have alot of money right now. I dont think fattening is a problem, they are all skinny , and even the heart patient is skinny. They dont know why it happened, but it wasnt clogged arteries or anything.
Thanks, oatw13, I will check it out!

Chili is always good. Maybe a la$agna or spaghetti dish. Noodle salads are inexpensive, or mac and cheese. Stuffed peppers can be made with rice and ground turkey. Here, chicken thighs are on sale, a big pkg baked with BBQ or herbed might fit the bill. Meatloaf can be cost effective too. Good Luck! I'm sure you'll find some idea that works!

Thank Sweet. A big pan of mac and cheese, the real baked stuff might go over great there with all the kids!
I just started some cookies, to!

Awww, save me some mac and cheese!!!!!!! hahaha
That was my first thought but then I thought that maybe he had clogged arteries, overweight etc Lol
YUMMMMMMMMMMM :D:D

I wish it were Summer, my garden would be full of goodies, I could make something for alot less!~

No, Susan, right now they have no idea. His heart just stopped several times. He had a pace maker installed. The guy doesnt smoke, works out, former military.
The only thing I can think of is the stress of all those kids, lol....but the Drs. didnt even think its stress?
Poor guy is only 45!
