Trying to get my little one to gain some weight. With my lower calorie cooking, and her love of veggies, her weight has steadily lowered itself on the growth charts since introducing solid food, so I am trying to avoid "cookies, cake and ice cream" like her pediatrician suggested, and do it healthfully...

My little one started dropping off the growth charts once we started solids, so here's what I'm feeding her in the morning (after 12 months) to get more calories in. :) My doctor told me to give her "cookies, ice cream and cake!" As someone who has lost 100 pounds, no way am I going to program my baby to prefer junk food!

My sister's soup... we eat it once a week. Yum. You can do this in a slow cooker, or use canned beans, if in a hurry.

I got this 5-star recipe off the Food Network website, but had to tweak it a bit, as I didn't have bell peppers... I also omitted the olive oil and used brown rice vs breadcrumbs.

Redid EricaClay10's Brown Rice Meatloaf with what I had on hand, so wanted to get a correct calorie count. :o) I used Oatmeal instead of brown rice, because we were hungry & I didn't have time to make the rice first.

The only ingredients: bananas, a summer squash, oatmeal, olive oil egg and craisins. They are quite tasty & good for you, too!

Very filling, clean eating type of meatloaf.

They taste sinful, but are so good. These aren't "mini" cookies. I replaced most of the oil with pureed pineapple, and a bit of yogurt. They are soft, fluffy, and really good out of the oven. They taste good the next day, too. They are pretty "cake-like", and will not crumble after they cool off like most GF cookies. Good for school lunches, trips & picnics. :)

I love Clara & her videos on www.GreatDepressionCooking.com
I changed her Poor Man's Meal up a bit to be a bit healthier by substituting hot dogs for sausage and using red potatoes and a sweet potato vs white. My dad makes fun of me and calls this "The Yuppie's Poor Man's Meal."
My family LOVES this.

I'm not good @ rolling enchiladas, so I find this method less time consuming, and it tastes the same, so why not. :)

My daughter is allergic to nuts, and all the GF recipes called for nuts... We also like less sugar than most recipes. The original called for 2/3 cup, so I halved it and added molasses.

We are learning about Ancient Persia, and supposedly, this was Alexander the Great's favorite food. The Persians pronounced Alexander "Iksender". Chicken in a tomato sauce, served over pitas or rice. Mmm.

This is a copy of the recipe on here called "Oatmeal Applesauce Low Fat Cookies ". I didn't use Splenda, and didn't have as much Craisins as it called for, and used regular sugar over brown, so I wanted to get a more accurate calorie count.

A nice way to enjoy your bounty of tomatoes, squash & eggplant from your garden! Makes 8 servings. (We eat the 4 servings, and eat the leftovers the next day.)

Yummy 115 calorie alternative to high-fat /calorie muffins. I added flax seed for an extra boost of Omega-3 fatty acids, and a little oil to help keep it from being too spongey (like so many low-fat muffins have.) You can use less (or more cinnamon/spices as you choose.) Makes 12 muffins or one loaf. (I like the muffins, so you can make sure you know your exact calories.)

I liked the idea of the other eggplant lasagne, but did not have the items on hand that she did so I had to calculate my own recipe. :) I also have so many eggplants and tomatoes from my garden, I needed to use them up!

Incredible! (1 rating)

I saw these on another website and wanted to make a few changes to their recipe. I added jalepenos to half of the batter for a yummy change. We had these with the Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Stew.
