Support Recipes

Hi Guys,
So I was thinking of some tolls that would have really helped me, that have really helped me, and one of the ones that would have been most useful would have been a collection of recipes, for all meals AND snacks, some high calorie, some not, and healthy ones as well - I've often noticed that a huge clash between families comes because parents/others believe the recoverer should just eat cake and that it what the recoverer often doesn't want to do!  Also, where possible, if these recipes also had calories per servings - if I'd had something like that I could have coked with my mother and gradually released some control in the kitchen, compromising between knowing, and adding it all myself.  I also thought any experiences that people were willing to share would be good and helpful, let people know that, above all, they're Not Alone.  And then I thought, because I only stumbled on this forum and website, that if people were to volunteer this, I'd compile it, and send it all to b-EAT (UK nat, eating disorders help organisation), and they could post it as a resource, and it would be a really good help for other people.  
SO, if people want to put recipes and experiences on this forum that's great...if you want to message me them that's great as well, you can remain anonymous or not as you wish!
Thanks for all your help guys!
P.S. Is it possible to make this topic a sticky so people can get to it easily? ta!

Here's my latest, almost 900 cals in one dinner and that doesnt count my side salad :O!! I'm enjoying this right now as I watch the Emmy's , fancy, huh?

Chocolate and walnut gnocchi:
http://caloriecount.about.com/chocolate-walnu t-gnocchi-recipe-r147290

it's based off of this recipe: http://deliciouswisdom.com/2008/04/01/cocoa-z ucchini-and-hazelnuts-over-penne.aspx but I thought I'd post it since I changed it all. And I find gnocchi to be a great weight gaining food since I can eat wayyy more than an indicated serving. I've been known to eat the entire package myself it's soo good and not too filling. Throw on some olive oil and you've got yourself a nice calorie dense meal.

Healthy banana split

- slice banana in half and drizzle on peanut butter or almond butter.

- Top with whole milk yogurt, chopped walnuts or some other nuts, chopped dark chocolate and drizzle of honey.

OR you could add any of the following : ice cream, more chopped fruit ie blueberries, strawberries. Add dried fruit like sultanas, sprinkle on some brown sugar, cinnemon, crushed up meruanges  (sp?) , lemon zest, orange zest with a drop of orange liquor...anything you like.

I found this! http://caloriecount.about.com/high-calorie-re cipes-ft100789 Hah, I don't know if anyone's linked to this already. x]

Yummy yummy yummy!

http://caloriecount.about.com/peanut-noodles- recipe-r155451

aloha, I had this for my dinner tonight and it was uber yummy, and I haven't had sausages in AGES (major fear food) so I was all dancy and singing 'et moi je vie mavie a pile au face, tous mes sentiments, a pile au face' round the kitchen to odd odd loks from s.....

Anyway, sort of a jamie adaptation (I love jamie...)

Sweet tomato and sausage bake - serves 1:

250g tomatoes

100g aubergine

1 shallot

1 clove garlic

2tbsp balsamic vinegar

2 tbsp oil (more if you're feeling brave)

herb bag of rosemary, thyme and bayleaf

cayenne pepper, and salt and vinegar to taste

2 LARGE BUTCHERS' PORK SAUSAGES - the best money can buy, baby

Essentially, stick all of those things in a casserole dish without the lidon and the sausages on top in the oven for half an hour at 190, or gas mark 6, remove, give it a shake, turn the sausages, stick it back in the oven for another half an hour.  Then take it out, stick it on the hob and boil any juices away until you get a nice sticky jammy sauce.  Serve with fresh warmed through petits pan, or wet polenta or couscous, a green salad, and a good large glass of fleurie....

Follow with a nice bar of dark chocolate and a dram of Glenfiddich

Most excellent way to combat the snow!

Well, I suppose this is where I put my creations! LOL

I love salad, but it's always deemed as a "typical"/weight LOSS dieting thing. So here's what I do. Lettuce - but get the green or red leaf, or romaine...they have more nutrients than ice-burg (in fact, I heard ice burg isn't even really good for you, cuz it's "solid green water"!)  Then I put any (usually all) of the following... shredded cheese (either chedder or parmesan, or both!), sliced meat (usually too lazy to grill chicken, so I just cut lunch meat into strips), a diced boiled egg, mandarian oranges, bacon bits, sunflower seeds, and extra dressing. Obviously crutons or bread cubes are good, but I don't like things that are really crunchy. With everything put in it, can be up to 500 calories... just for a salad!


Shakes
---
Just made this (still working on drinking it, actually)..it's about 1080 calories, for a big cup. Kinda tastes like liquid Reeses
4 tablespoons peanut butter (400)
4 tablespoons chocolate syrup (200)
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (240)
1 can vanilla Boost/Ensure Plus (240)


Haven't tried these ones yet, but I imagine they'd be pretty good. The "Reeses" one was made up, and it was okay (if you like Reeses, which I kinda don't...but oh well)

Strawberry Banana = 450 - 900 (depending on ingredients included)
4 tablespoons strawberry jam (100)
1 banana (100)
1 can vanilla (or strawberry) Boost/Ensure Plus (250)
4 tablespoons wheat germ (100)
1/2 cup ice cream (vanilla, strawberry, pralines, or whatever you like) (150)
Plus, you could add 4 tablespoons chocolate syrup, and I bet it'd taste pretty much like a banana split!


Banana Nut - up to 1000, depending on which ingredients are included
4 tablespoons peanut butter (400)
1 banana (100)
1 can vanilla Boost/Ensure Plus (250)
4 tablespoons wheat germ (100)
1/2 cup ice cream (150)

I just made another experiment. The texture is a bit gritty, but that's because I didn't blend it enough. I figured if I put the oatmeal and juice together first, I could make the oatmeal mushy... maybe I need to soak it first. Or I just looked up "oat flour", and apparently you can make rolled oats into flour by putting them in a blender alone and making them into powder.

Anyway, this tastes nummy! But there's quite a bit...it makes 4 cups. So what I'll do, is just put it in the fridge and drink 1 glass with a meal, and finish it throughout the day.

100    8 ounces      &nb sp;     juice (Dole 100% strawberry/kiwi)
480    4 ounces      &nb sp;     heavy whipping cream
150    1 'cup'           &nb sp;    Yoplait fruit yogurt (strawberry/banana)
150    1 cup           &nb sp;      oatmeal (not instant, just rolled)
50      2 tablespoons    wheat germ
100    1 whole           &nb sp;   banana
240    1 (8 oz)                Boost (vanilla)
--------------------------------------------- ---------------
1270    4 cups (32 oz)    total

Obviously, you can use different flavors of juice, yogurt, Boost/Ensure, and other real fruit. This is just what I had available this morning.

For vanilla milk shakes

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 pint vanilla ice cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Hey everyone, I know these aren't original, but I was just looking to find some pb and co coupons on the website and started looking through their recipes and was struck by how decadently yummy sounding and high calorie all of these probably are. Plus I know how much everyone here loves PB!!

Check them out-  http://www.pbloco.com/concoctions.asp

I'm sure you don't have to use their pb flavors either, any regular nut butter will do. I want to try the baked french toast and mousse!

• Macaroni and Cheese from the box (or homemade) with heavy whipping cream and plenty of butter.  You could even add extra cheese!
  

• 1000 + calorie muffins:
  

Ingredients:

1 stick butter (8 tablespoons)
1.5 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
half teaspoon baking soda
1 cup mashed banana (I use 2 bananas)
half teaspoon vanilla
half cup sour cream
plenty of chopped walnuts or pecans (I don't measure these, but probably put in at least 2 cups)

Mix together the butter and sugar, then the eggs. Mix together the dry ingredients first, then add to the butter/sugar/egg mixture. Next add the banana, sour cream, and vanilla. Last add the nuts.

I put all of this mixture into a non-stick pan that has 4 LARGE muffin tins. That is key. Just make a huge muffin look like the normal size...none of this small cupcake sized muffin business!!! Each of these muffins should have about 1000 or more calories. And they are delicious! 

350 degrees for just long enough to cook them so they stay really moist.  In my pans it is 45 minutes

• Heaping serving of pasta and pesto, washed down with chocolate whole milk

• Chocolate-Peanut Butter Shake, 1070 calories:

  1/2 c. heavy whipping cream; 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter; 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup; 1 1/2 c. chocolate ice cream; Blend in blender.

   

  Macaroni and Cheese

  4 cups cooked elbow macaroni, drained 

  2 cups grated cheddar cheese 
  3 eggs, beaten 
  1/2 cup sour cream 
  4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces 
  1/2 teaspoon salt 
  1 cup milk 

  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Once you have the macaroni cooked and drained, place in a large bowl and while still hot and add the cheddar. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and add to the macaroni mixture. Pour macaroni mixture into a casserole dish and bake for 30 to 45 minutes. Top with additional cheese if desired.

i just found this...click on the pic + theres an online recipe book made by parents of ED sufferers. contains loads of high cal recipes and some meal plans in the back

This isn't a super huge calorie side dish, but it's one of my summer favorites, and as it turns out, pretty decent in calories! It's a summer pasta salad, with 182 calories per cup, which is the same as one of the yogurts I eat.

This smoothie is not THAT high cal, but I found this to be a really easy way to pack in some extra calories without making me feel any fuller:

Chocolate Banana Malt:

-1 c. Whole Milk

-1 packet Classic Chocolate Malt Carnation Instant Breakfast

-1 medium frozen banana

Put the ingredients in the blender with 3 ice cubes, mix, and drink up!

ive been trying to make eating fun i brought one of those electric whisks im trying to drink as much milk as i can as i have osteophrosis and need to repair my bones so for snacks i whisk the milk up till its all frothy and leaves you with a tash then i add squirty cream and a few mini marsmallows lovely h x

That sounds great!  I bought something similar at target (aerolatte milk frother) for about $10 a while back to save money.  You can make lattes or cappuccino's and they taste sooo good!  And they're so much cheaper than starbucks.  If you buy a small latte at starbucks every day you'll waste about $1100 a year!  

To make these yummy drinks weight gain friendly, use whole milk, cream, 1/2 and 1/2, or coffee creamer.  You can also buy flavored syrups (like vanilla or hazelnut).  The kind I use (vanilla) has 70 calories for 2 TB.  You can also add chocolate syrup, whipped cream, sprinkles, espresso, whatever you like!  

And if you want to make it more nutritious, instead of milk use Ensure or Boost Plus.  Or you can stir in some protein powder to the milk before you froth it.  Oh, and it usually works better if you heat the milk, then froth it.  

shall have to try that one thanks h x

i have a sweet tooth and love mullerices , they are good for snacks i also have baked apples with custard as sometimes i get very sick of yogurts im trying to be more versatile with my cereal at supper i love rason wheats , i discovered golden grahams seriously cinnamon which are really nice i do like rice crispes although they arnt very good if your starving
