13 y/o daughter loves her steaks and desserts
10 y/o son will pretty much eat anything that doesn't bite him first.
5 y/o son is very picky eater, but loves his fruits and PB&J sandwiches.

I also have a very limited budget, as mom don't pay support, so I need stuff that pretty inexpensive and is good as leftovers or recipes that can be sized for 1-4 people. I prefer simple recipes to make, but I am an excellent cook so not afraid of tough complicated cooking. But really the expense is my biggest concerns, along with stuff that the kids will like.

I tend to make a lot of Chicken, and try to cut back on the fried foods & red meat, but frankly I've run out of ideas. We also eat a lot of Rice and such.

So please trow me some good recipes with some variety & help me out here. Lots of rep & gratitude for good stuff.

You need to handle your liver and detox it. That's the organ that manufactures cholesterol. Then switch to whole grains including rice, whole grain pasta and eat more fish....including the oily fishes. Take fish liver oil and Niacin as well as B Complex from good whole supplements. Drink lots of water. Then you can have some read meat and dessert once in a while. You might look into the books on how to eat for your metabolic type. A diet too high in white refined carbs also leads to heart problems.
