Hi worried. If cream sauces and things like that wont work try tacos! Roll up anything like avocados, cheese, olives, salsa, etc.. and you can also even add some oil to it without her ever noticing! (: pizza can also come in handy too. |

A recipe that I have used in the past that my son (not with ED) loves, and doesn't realize that there is supplement powder in it.
Peanut Butter Balls.
1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth/crunchy, whichever you prefer)
powdered supplement (I use Proform or Sustagen powder)
Choc sprinkles or coconut.
Mix peanut butter with the powdered supplement until you have the consistancy of cookie dough. (about 60g)
Roll into golf ball sized balls and then roll in Choc sprinkles or coconut.
Put into fridge to set.
Makes about 8 balls, just a single bite or two and at 110 calories each are small but pack a punch.
Hope this helps.

| Here's a very easy recipe for Cauliflower and Cheese that everyone seems to love--the recipe has 1000 calories (not counting the cauliflower) and my d eats about 1/2 recipe at a meal-it's a good source of protein and cauliflower is a decent source of omegas! Plus all that heavy whipping cream!
2 shallots-finely minced and cooked with 1.5 TBS butter until almost brown--cook slowly Add 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 tsp coarse salt, 20 grinds of black pepper and 2 TBS chopped chives to complete sauce
Thinly slice 1.5 pound head of cauliflower.
Layer cauliflower in a small baking pan with 4 ounces of cheese. Pour sauce over top. Top with breadcrumbs. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes. Cover for first half of baking time. Uncover and let brown until liquid is reduced. Cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
Recipe is adapted from the Rachel Ray magazine-I've found her recipes to be good-they are generally NOT diet recipes but nutritious ingredients are used. |

here's a good chicken dish
FOUR cheese chicken fettuccine
one package uncooked fettuccine
1 8oz package cream cheese (cubed)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 jar sliced mushrooms, drained
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 cup grated Parmesean cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese
2 cups cooked chicken diced
topping:
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 to 2 tablespoons parmesean cheese
1. Boil chicken breasts until done then drain and cube.
1. Cook the fettucine according to directions.
2. Meanwhile in large skillet, combine the soup, cream cheese, mushrooms, cream, butter and garlic powder. Stir in cheeses. Cook and stir until melted. Add chicken. Heat through. Drain fettucine and add to the sauce.
3. Transfer all to a greased 2-3 qt baking dish. Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over top of the chicken/noodle mixture. Cover and bake at 350F for about 25 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes longer until golden brown.
WOW this was loaded and I did not skimp on anything. Use the regular cream cheese, the regular cheeses and regular soup, nothing low fat or reduced! AND DH AND I LOVED IT TOO....maybe TOO much!!!
Oh and dh does not like mushrooms so i left out the canned mushrooms but snuck in the cream of mushroom soup and he never knew. Also I added about a cup of frozen petite sweet peas just for veggies.
I have no idea how many calories....don't wanna know.

http://www.kitchendaily.com/recipe/horchata-mexican-milkshake-142548
Here's an interesting and nicely nutritious recipe I stumbled on this morning. It reminded me of LV's cashew shakes. This would be terrific for those allergic to milk, but could also be made with cow's milk (or even coconut milk) rather than the water for even more nutrient density. (And I don't know why chocolate syrup wouldn't be quite tasty in there, too.)
You could also approximate the recipe by using store-bought rice milk and almond milk as the base. Either way, this would give you a slightly different nutritional angle on a basic milkshake. And I think nutrient variety is worthwhile.

It's been cold here, and I think it's snowing in England. These hot cocoa recipes in our local paper sounded yummy. You could substitute HWC for 1/4 cup of the whole milk to increase the calories.
Saffron Vanilla Hot Cocoa
1 cup whole milk
Pinch saffron threads
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a small saucepan over medium, heat the milk and saffron until hot but not boiling. Whisk in the chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Whisk until completely smooth.
600 cal
White Peppermint Hot Cocoa
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
In a small saucepan over medium, heat the milk until hot but not boiling. Whisk in the chocolate chips and peppermint extract. Whisk until completely smooth.
600 cal
Nutella Cinnamon Hot Cocoa
1 cup whole milk
1/3 cup Nutella
Pinch cinnamon
Pinch salt
In a small saucepan over medium, heat the milk until hot but not boiling. Whisk in the Nutella, cinnamon and salt. Whisk until the Nutella is completely melted.
550 calories
Fluffernutter hot cocoa
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup Fluff (marshmallow sandwich spread), plus extra for topping
1/3 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup peanut butter chips
In a small saucepan over medium, heat the milk until hot but not boiling. Whisk in the Fluff, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Whisk until completely melted and smooth. To serve, top with additional Fluff.
800 calories! The winna!!

Thank you - just what is needed for this morning. -7 and a blizzard outside. School cancelled. So have lit the fire (at 6 am) and we are going to have a big snowball fight when it gets light. Then we can all come in and try these.

| Via Susan. From the SF Chronicle
Spaghetti Con Le Noci
The thick puree of nuts, olive oil and cheese is a type of pesto. A little bit of thyme is important - it anchors the pasta with an herbal bouquet and adds more flavor. From Marlena Spieler.
Ingredients: - 3 to 4 ounces shelled hazelnuts or walnuts (about 3/4 cup hazelnuts or 1 cup walnuts)
- 4 to 5 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil + more as needed
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- Salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, to taste
- 1 ounce freshly grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese, about 1/2 cup
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions: - If using hazelnuts, toast them in a single layer in a large, heavy ungreased frying pan set over medium heat, until they become flecked with dark brown spots, stirring and moving them to avoid burning. They will be ready when their skins split and start to fall off. Or, place them on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes; after about 5 minutes, rotate the baking sheet.
- Once hazelnuts are toasted, wrap the still-hot nuts tightly in a clean, somewhat fluffy towel, then rub the nuts against each other, letting the friction rub the skins away. The skins should adhere to the towel.
- If using walnuts, toast them if you like, but there is no skin to rub off.
- Grind the garlic with a little salt in a blender, then add the nuts and oil and process until the mixture becomes coarse and mealy. If necessary, whirl in more olive oil to form a thinnish paste. Turn off the blender, but leave the pesto there.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, then add the spaghetti and cook until al dente; drain and reserve about 1 1/2 cups cooking water.
- Place the spaghetti in a large, heavy pan over medium heat. Scrape the nut paste into the pot and toss with the spaghetti. Pour about 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water into the blender, swirl around to loosen any remaining nut mixture, then add it to the pasta. Add the thyme and cheese, toss together, and season to taste. If needed, adjust consistency with more pasta water. Serve immediately.

| Dear Red, I just typed my user name in as muffin!
Then I got it right and typed muffin into the search page. 127 threads and 199 posts! A whole thread to itself too! I hope there is something there you can adapt. One idea is to grind up the nuts, say in a coffee grinder, and then add them. Sour cream is another much used ingredient.

MMMMM, I made L's muffins again last week. Hadn't made them for a long time. We needed a breakfast to eat on the road (h, non-AN d and me) and they were the perfect answer. I put so many nuts in them so they have a good amount of protein. I made 6 muffins instead of 4. Yum, yum!!!!

For about 4 months now the key to my D's weight gain (26lbs now) has been a 1400 cal shake made with haagan daaz, whole milk, whipping cream, and half and half. For the past few weeks she has been getting 1/2 of it after school and I have spread the other "extra" calories out in her other meals and snacks. She is really sick of "the shake" and wants something else. Anybody out there have any great high cal snacks that are NOT a liquid- like hot chocolate etc.? Losing my creativity and patience with the whining here. |

2 new ones
SHAKE: 2 cups haggan daaz Chocolate peanut butter ice cream (has 350 cals per serving and 3.5 servings in the conatainer). 3/4 cup whipping cream and 1/4 cup whole milk. Shake is nearly 1900 calories.
CRAZY MAC AND CHEESE!

3 cups shredded sharp cheddar
3 cups shredded Gruyere
1 cup shredded asiago
1 box (16 oz) cooked elbow macaroni
2 cups panko crumbs mixed with 1/2 cup butter
oven at 350... I used large pre-buttered baking dish

Cook for 10 mis stirring occasionally until a little thickened. Add cheese and stir until melted in. Add macaroni... spread into dish and cover wth buttered panko topping.

some of these might be repeats that i posted last year but here they are again from another thread where i thought they might not be seen. They are all really really yummy and not difficult to make.....enjoy!
Four Cheese chicken fettuccine
1 box fettucine
1 can cream of mushrm soup
1 package cream cheese (cubed)
1 jar sliced mushrooms
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 stick butter (i use unsalted)
1/4 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Drain the fettucine and add to sauce.
Transfer from skillet to large, baking dish prepared with EVOO.
Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over top of casserole.
Cover and bake at 350 until bubbling about 35-40 min. Remove cover and bake until top is golden brown (5 - 10 min).
While refeeding we served with cooked carrots on side and of course GOM.
YUMMY CHICKEN
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 egg, beaten
1 cup mozz cheese
1 1/2 cup heavy cream or whipping cream
1 tsp parsley flakes (or basil or oregano if you prefer)
2/3 cup parm cheese
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup light EVOO
Dip chicken in egg. Dip in breadcrumbs. (sometimes I did this twice to get a real coating)
Heat oil in skillet and brown chicken until it is no longer pink in middle.
Place chicken in casserole dish.
Top each pc of chicken with mozz cheese.
Mix together the cream,parm cheese and parsley flakes.
Pour cream mixture over the chicken.
Bake at 350 till done about 1/2 hour.
1 chicken breast = 805 calories.
PINA COLADA CHICKEN
About 2 large chicken breasts cut into small peices
2 tbsp light olive oil
1 cup crushed pineapple (8 ox can) plus 3/4 cup chunky pineapple.
15ox can of coconut CREAM

1/2 tsp lemon pepper
In a large skillet saute the chicken in oil until cooked and slightly browned.
Add crushed and chunk pineapple, coconut cream, lemon pepper and mix trouroughly and simmer on low heat until the sauce has thickened as much as desired. (For me this took about 20 - 25 min to simmer to thick sauce),
(Approx 850 cal per serving and 57 grms of protein)
I served over white rice with brocolli or snap beans on the side. And this was a meal that did not seem to go with GOM so we allowed juice or Vitamin water.
CREAMY WHITE BEAN CHILIi
2 or 3 boneless chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 Tblsp light EVOO
3 cans great northern beans or other white beans

1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whipping cream
In large saucepan, saute chicken, onion, and garlic powder in oil until chicken no longer pink. Add beans, broth, chilies, and seasonings. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. let simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and whipping cream. Serve immediately.
We served with tortilla chips. DD went through phase of no chips. She had hers with a piece of cheddar cheese next to it.
TURKEY PESTO PASTA BAKE
1 pakg ground turkey
1 box penne pasta (enriched pasta plus kind)
2 tbsp EVVO
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large can diced tomatoes
1 small can petite diced tomatoes

1/2 tsp black pepper
1 container of whole milk ricotta cheese
2 cups grated mozz cheese
1/2 cup parm cheese
about 1/2 container of store bought pesto
Heat oven to 350. Oil glass baking casserole dish.
In large pot, boil pasta in salted water for only about 7 minutes. It will not be all the way done.
In saucepan, heat oil and saute onion until tender. Add garlic, and meat and cook until browned. Then add tomatoes, pepper and let simmer.
In small bowl, mix together the ricotta, mozz ch and parm cheese and pesto.
Put about 1 cup of sauce in bottom of baking dish.
Place about 1/3 of the cooked pasta in baking dish.
Spread the ricotta/ch/pesto mixture over the first layer of pasta
Cover with the remaining pasta,
then with the remaining sauce.
Top with extra mozz cheese and parm cheese.
Drizzle lightly with light evvo
Bake covered until bubbling, then brown on top.
Let sit a few minutes before serving.\
Serve with garlic bread, tossed salad and GOM! (or wine for Mom/Dad, of
course)
Now here is one of dd appetizer recipes, exactly how she wrote it:
BlueNan - Food for the Soul
Take a sheet of nan bread and put it in toaster. While it toasts, smush blueberries. Put goat cheese in with blueberries and mix together. Get nan bread out of toaster. Melt some provolone or swiss cheese in microwave for about 30 seconds. Spread blueberry/cheese on the nan bread. Put melted cheese on top of that. EAT!

Just made this for dinner (daughter's refed, but I felt she needed a hearty meal today), and I think it's a great entry for this thread:
Croque-Madame (if you make it without the egg it's a Croque-Monsieur)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 1/2 ounces coarsely grated Gruyère cheese (1 1/3 cups)
8 slices firm white sandwich bread
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 pound thinly sliced cooked ham (preferably Black Forest)
4 large eggs Make sauce:
Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, then whisk in flour and cook roux, whisking, 3 minutes. Whisk in milk and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, 5 minutes. Whisk in salt, pepper, nutmeg, and 1/3 cup cheese until cheese is melted. Remove from heat and cover surface directly with a sheet of wax paper. Make sandwiches:
Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons sauce evenly over each of 4 slices of bread, then sprinkle evenly with remaining cheese (1/4 cup per slice). Spread mustard evenly on remaining 4 bread slices and top with ham, dividing it evenly, then invert onto cheese-topped bread to form sandwiches. Lightly oil a 15- by 10-inch shallow baking pan. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately low heat, then cook sandwiches, turning over once, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes total. Remove from heat and transfer sandwiches to baking pan, then wipe out skillet with paper towels. Preheat broiler. Top each sandwich with 1/3 cup sauce, spreading evenly. Broil sandwiches 4 to 5 inches from heat until sauce is bubbling and golden in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off broiler and transfer pan to lower third of oven to keep sandwiches warm. Heat remaining tablespoon butter in nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then crack eggs into skillet and season with salt and pepper. Fry eggs, covered, until whites are just set and yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Top each sandwich with a fried egg and serve immediately. I found the recipe here (love this site):

AMoma, we do a lot of grilling in the summer. Lots of burgers and sausage with lots of toppings (i.e hot dogs loaded with chili and cheese). If I grill vegetables, I either do them in foil packets with olive oil added in or add olive oil or butter after grilling. We haven't tackled potato and corn chips yet, but those are great sides, of course.
Here's a favorite potato salad of ours that I got from a Russian cookbook. This is the recipe but you can easily add more olive oil and feta cheese:
Moldavian Potato, Feta, and Scallion Salad
6 medium red potatoes
1/3 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup scallion, finely chopped (I use an entire bunch -- they taste really good in this)
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons dill, finely chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper
kalamata olives (optional)
1. Clean and cook potatoes in boiling water until tender, 18-20 minutes.
2. Chop, press and crumble other ingredients.
3. Cool potatoes until they can be handled, then dice into 3/4-inch cubes.
4. Toss with olive oil and garlic, then let fully cool to room temperature.
5. Add feta and scallions and drizzle with vinegar.
6. Add dill, salt, and pepper, and toss gently.
7. Let rest for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to mingle.
8. Add optional olives as garnish and serve.

8. Add optional olives as garnish and serve.

summer or winter....burritos (loaded of course, meat/beans/cheese/tomatoes/peppers/onion/and cheese (did i say cheese?) and sour cream, of course. This was a meal that later in refeeding we could allow dd to make some choices/prep as long as she started with the meat/beans/cheese and had to top with at least one TBSP of sour cream.
or what we call picnic night = and another that allowed some choices: rottiserie turkey breast, crusty french bread, chuncks of sharp cheddar cheese, brie, grapes, triscuits, baby carrots/broccoli/w dip, cherry tomatoes, olives, etc etc.
easy turkey casserole: buy a half to 3/4 in thick slab of honey roaste turkey breast at deli for cubing. Make a box of pasta (penne, rotini, wahtever), add turkey cubes, frozen peas, and store bought alfredo sauce. Put in a casserole and top with parm cheese/bread crumb mix and bake of just til bubbling and brown on top. The timesaver here is that the turkey is all cooked and the frozen peas don't take long to heat through.
can also be done with frozen shrimp and snap peas.
hope these help!

I know I am the queen of Hagan Das...but if you do not read my threads- the chocolate peanut butter has 350 clas per half cup. There are 3.5 servings in the pint. I use this with 1 cup of whipping cream to make a wonderful 2025 calorie shake!!!!!!!!!I have not found any ice cream more calorie dense than that. It accounts for half of my D's calories a day and makes eating the rest so much more tolerable. Thank GOD she has no allergies to dairy. |

Someone asked for this recipe and I thought I would start a new thread. This is absolutely delicious and packed with lots of "energy!"
Rhubarb Bread
1 1/2 C. brown sugar
2/3 C. oil
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 C. buttermilk
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 C. flour
1 1/2 C. rhubarb, finely chopped
1/2 C. walnuts, chopped
Topping:
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 C. sugar
1 T. melted butter
Cream brown sugar, oil and egg. Sift dry ingredients together. Add alternately to brown sugar mixture with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour. Add vanilla and mix in. Fold in the rhubarb and walnuts. Pour into two well-greased 9x5 loaf pans, spreading batter well into corners.
In small bowl, mix topping with a fork. Sprinkle evenly on both loaves. Bake at 325 for 60 + minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Remove from pans and cool. This is especially good the next day or after. Freezes well.

p.s. The original recipe calls for 50-60 minutes of baking but in my oven it takes longer. You may want to check it at 50 mins. in your own oven.

Is there a high calorie muffin recipe that would safe for someone with a severe tree nut and peanut allergy? I'm not sure what to add to a recipe to make it nutrient dense without the use of nuts or peanut butter.

Hi farawaymom! I imagine if your D/S has a severe tree nut and peanut allergy, you could try sunflower seed butter if you didn't have other options? You could also sneak in some purreed avocado. It doesn't add much of a taste, anyway! I know that it can be used to make icecream too. Could you maybe try finding the highest-calorie brand of flour (not necessarily wheat, maybe potato, rye, spelt etc.?), or adding a supplement such as Benecalorie? Protein powder could work, too. Make sure to add plenty of butter, maybe maple syrup? I would normally use golden syrup in my muffins (my D has a severe egg allergy) to help bind them, but it could be a good way to up the cals. Just try and add anything most people advise not to! Dried fruit would be great, too, as it's very dense, so you can get away with about 300 cals. I hope your D/S enjoys your muffins!

You could substitute sour cream in a recipe that called for buttermilk or yogurt.

Wonderful thank you! Yes, my d has a nut and peanut allergy which results in wheezing, hives, and swelling in her mouth. The dried fruit is a great idea as is of course the butters and syrup.
Gobsmacked, does sour cream work well in a sweet muffin recipe? I have an oatmeal spice muffin recipe that calls for juice or yogurt, but if I could put in sour cream that would be even better.

That should work. I have a coffee cake recipe that uses sour cream and what you're describing sounds similar. If in doubt you could always reduce the recipe and make a test batch and then add additional brown sugar or applesauce if needed.

I've made muffins with sour cream. I can't promise that it's going to have the exact same reaction with baking soda/baking powder that buttermilk or yogurt will, but it should be similar enough.
I rarely actually use nuts in my muffins. They are dense enough in calories anyway -- butter, flour, sugar, eggs, high-fat dairy. Dried fruit certainly helps if you child won't eat it on it's own. Chocolate chips are good.
LV -- any recipe that calls for applesauce was probably amended originally from an originally higher fat recipe. My Mom used to substitute applesauce for oil back in the '70s. It's a long-known trick. So if a recipe calls for applesauce (unless you are actually going for an apple flavor), add back oil or melted butter instead, in the same amount. Same goes for prune puree.

Looking for non-sweet things I can add to a fruit & yogurt smoothie to boost the calories and/or nutrition. Anyone have ideas in addition to those below?
I've discovered Fage Greek Yogurt. The full-fat has 23 grams of fat and 310 calories per cup. I use it in combination with regular full fat yogurt as the Fage alone is as thick as a dip.
I also add flax seed or walnut oil.
We started out with no sugar, but I've been adding honey, agave nectar, and or straight sugar for a while, and she hasn't mentioned the difference.

Red, sorry I never answered you on that -- I have started adding ice cream when I think she needs more calories.
I've recently discovered cooking steel cut oats in the crockpot, which means I can make them at night (when she's not hanging around) and have a hot breakfast that is more than generous for four of us waiting for us in the morning. The recipe is simple:
1 cup steel-cut oats
1 cup dried fruit
3T brown sugar
4 1/2 cups cream/milk/water (how much of each is your choice)
You can make this directly in the crockpot, but it tends to burn. Either use liners or try the bain-marie method: find a bowl that fits inside the crockpot, fill it with the ingrediients, set it in the crockpott on top of something to keep it from cracking the bottom (i.e. rolled up foil) add water to the crockpot until it reaches almost up to the top of the inner bowl, Cook on high for 7 hours.
In the morning add more cream, butter, sugar, whatever you like. I sometimes add butter to the oats before they cook.

Even better shake: choc pb cup Ben and Jerry's- 1 small container is 1400 cals. Add 1 cup whipping cream and 400 cals of combo pb/chocolate ice cream toppping, oreos- whatever. This is a 2600 cal shake. You can break it up inot a few small shakes- although my D (only 11 and tiny) had the whole thing at once every day for 3 months at about 3pm. |

I have just made a fabulous "Muslie" slice as part of d afternoon snack
Mega calories, mega fats!
I realize there is a discrepancy between measures around the world but it should be ok
5 cups of dry ingredients
I included 2 cups of macadamia meal ( got the nuts on special and blended them)
1 cup of crushed up scotch finger biscuits
Half cup of shredded coconut
Half cup chopped dried fruit
1 cup of oats ( so you can call it a muslie bar)
1 tin of condensed milk
Half a cup of melted butter
Mix all the dry ingredients together
Add the melted butter to the condensed milk
Mix the two, pour into slice pan and cook for about 25 - 35 mins in medium oven or until lightly browned on top
You could use any combination of dry ingredients such as almond meal, crushed Oreos, granola ....anything

I have three recipes that I use right now and they are high calorie!
Breakfast Cream of Wheat
1 1/2 cup whole milk ( we use Lactaid Milk, because D is Lactose intolerant)
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons Cream of Wheat
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Add last when off heat:
1 scoop muscle milk powder ( vanilla creme)
Cook according to directions, remove from heat, stir in muscle milk powder, and thin with milk if needed. Pour into bowl, sprinkle with nutmeg. Serve with a smile! (side note, you could add a bazillion calories to cream of wheat I think)
Night Snack Smoothie
6 ounces greek yogurt, I use vanilla
1 frozen banana
5 frozen blueberries
1/4 sugar
1/2 cup half and half
Add last:
2 scoops muscle milk powder
Blend yogurt and half and half and sugar, add frozen banana and blueberries. Last add muscle milk powder and blend thoroughly. Serve in beautiful glass with a smile!
Breakfast muffins
1 can pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix
1 cake mix, Devil's Food, Spice Cake, or Carrot Cake
1 stick butter
Mix pumpkin and cake mix, then add melted butter. Spoon into greased muffin tins, bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Mornings are rough for me. I'm a night owl, and having to make sure d has a big breakfast is almost painful for me. It's REALLY hard for me to give her a good breakfast AND be nice. I've discovered that on school nights I have to have either breakfast and/or lunch made for her and her sister the night before in order to be able to make mornings work.
I stumbled upon the idea of breakfast in the crockpot (meaning one puts it together the night before and wakes up to a hot breakfast), and found these two recipes that work for our family. I've made them both a lot over the last few months. I figure some of you might appreciate them as well:
1) Breakfast Casserole
1 32 oz. bag hash browns
12 eggs
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup milk or 1/2 & 1/2
package of breakfast sausage (I use the kind that comes in a tube, but you can use links)
one onion, chopped
butter or oil
1. Sautee sausage in a bit of oil or butter over medium heat. When nearly browned, add onion and sautee until softened (doesn't need to be fully softened -- just take the edge off)
2. combine eggs, milk, and cheese
3. dump frozen hash browns in crockpot, add sausage onion mixture, pour egg mixture over all.
4. cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours. I just turn mine on low before I go to bed. Sometimes it's quite well cooked, but it's always good.
Sometimes I add a can of green chilies or use a different cheese.
2. Steel-cut oats in the crockpot
1 cup steel-cut oats
1 cup dried fruit
4 cups milk or 1/2 & 1/2
1/4 cup brown sugar
dash vanilla
optional: butter (you could also just add this when it's cooked)
You can cook these all right in the crockpot, but I use this bain-marie method to keep things easier to clean. I have a bowl that fits in the crockpot. I put the ingredients in there. I put the bowl in the crockpot, with a little rolled up foil underneath, then I pour water around the bowl to higher than the oats (see this being done here: http://annkroeker.com/2008/03/25/overnight-crockpot-steel-cut-oatmeal/) -- sounds complicated but it isn't.
Set to low before you go to bed. Wake up to hot oatmeal. Add whatever you like. I usually add cream and berries (I keep blueberries in my freezer). Sometimes I even add butter
I hope this is helpful to someone.

this egg dish in crockpot sounds great! Also thought I would share that I just noticed EGGNOG is back at the grocery for the holidays...dd loves it...sometimes she says its a little thick so I add a bit of milk to thin it out.....But still a real boost. |

GS - Bless you!!! I am not a morning person either. Lucky for me d is now responsible for her breakfast but I still get up to supervise. I think I'll try some of these just to mix things up a bit. I know dh would appreciate this as well!! I never ever would have thought about the crock pot for breakast.
Did you know there are bags you can get to line your crock pot? Then you just throw the bag away and your crockpot is clean!! I haven't tried them yet but would be a great time-saver.

I wonder if you could cook those oats in eggnog.
ihavehope -- I'm glad the recipes helped. I credit my learning how to get either breakfast or lunch dealt with the night before with there being a lot less stress in this house in the morning, and less stress can only help my d get better -- right?

Lasagne?
Not very quick, unless you make a bumper amount of bolognese sauce and then freeze quantities.
Chicken breasts stuffed with cheese and sundried tomatoes, wrapped in bacon and cooked in the oven.
Chilli served with grated cheese and sour cream on top.
Beef and mushroom stroganoff, made with double cream - very yummy!
Double baked potatoes (bake til soft, scoop out centre, mash with sour cream, grated cheese and chives, refill potato skins and bake again til browned.
Spanokipatta (spelling might be off) a greek dish of spinach and feta cheese and salad onions, all mixed together (food processar best) with one or two eggs, then used to fill filo pastry parcels. Filo pastry brushed with lots of melted butter. Bake in oven.
Roasted vegetables - squash, onions, peppers, tomatoes, with peeled chestnuts also. Nice fish goats cheese melted on top, or with sausages wrapped in bacon.
Will rack my brains more later...
Do you need actual recipes, or just inspiration?

Salmon Risotto (cream/parm cheese mixed right in).
Chicken burritos (I pack a ton of stuff in them/ beans/rice/cheese). Add sour cream and salsa. Sometimes I make them more like quesadillas and then she has two huge shells to eat.
Tuna casserole.
Slow cooker Pulled bbq beef or pork. Lots of sauce and on buns...it adds up. |
