Recipes for healthy eating

[JOhn]

Ok guys & gals I need a little help with some recipes. As a few of you know I had a serious heart attack a few years back with one of the major contributing factors being High cholesterol. In an effort to stick around a few extra years I've been trying to eat a lot better and have been doing so/so at it. Problem is I'm a single dad raising 3 kids who are hard to please, food wise.

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.
