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!

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!

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!
