On the Road to Weight Gain! Part 2

Thank you so much for the suggestions yesterday! After compiling them all-and doing some google research. We headed out to the store. Yall know me and my grocery shopping. I like to shop cheap. WELL when you add in "food to make your child gain weight" CHEAP...is hard to come by.

Here is a list of things I bought (sorry no pics-the kitchen is still HORRIBLE)

Chicken (Breast, tenderloins, whole) I plan on doing alot of chicken cooking
Pork Tenderloin, Chops (she will eat those)
Pastas
Mac-N-Cheese
The biggest thing of Peanut butter Kroger sales
Pedisure
4 blocks of Colby Jack Cheese (her fav)
Chocolate Pudding
Mint Ice Cream & Birthday Cake Ice Cream
Yogurt & GoGurt
Eggs
Pretzels
Fruit & Veggies
PopTarts with Icing and Sprinkles
Some Pink Sugary Cereal
Waffles
Soup mixes
Ritz Crackers
....just to name a few (I spent $200 and got $285 dollars worth of groceries)

For Dinner Last Night we ate at church (roast, potatoes, carrots, rolls)
Madyson would not eat. So she had ice cream.
When we got home she ate Ramen Noodles with butter ( I know from freshman year in college, those help gain weight) a side of broccoli with a tablespoon of butter
and 2 crescent "biscuits" DO NOT SAY ROLL (she wont eat it)
and a small kitkat bar!

Then had a pedisure/mint chocolate milkshake (which I need to learn how to make these bc it tasted nothing like chick-fil-a's .

This morning she wanted a waffle. Then after Todd made it-she decided that she doesn't eat waffles. So she ate a 1/2 a poptart and some milk.

For lunch she took 4 chicken nuggets, 3 pieces of celery, apples 1 tablespoon of peanut butter (for Dip), cheese cubes, Gogurt, pretzels and milk.

We are so blessed to have such a caring group of ladies at the school. Mrs. Mildred the Kitchen Manager offered to make madyson some pasta (without sauce) to go along with her lunch-she is serving spaghetti today.


One of the questions I got yesterday was "What will she eat?"
That's an easy one!
1)Chicken
2)Pork
3)any veggie/fruit
4)Noodles
5)Mac-n-cheese
6)Yogurt
7)Cheese
8)Pudding
9)Eggs
10)Bacon
11)Biscuits or Cornbread
12)Ritz Crackers NOT store brand
13)Peanut Butter
14) Jelly (but not mixed together)
15)Grits
16) desserts
17)Nuts

See our problem? she loves healthy stuff (minus the desserts of course) its getting her to eat more that we are having issues with.

And her milk allergy. She can't have cow milk (from the gallon) she can eat cheese, yogurt, ice cream...just not cow milk in a cup. She has to have Soy Milk. So I am hoping the pedisure milkshakes will put some ounces on her at least!

  2. If you have any easy recipes I would love for you to send them to me thebroadusbunch@gmail.com we don't have alot of Indian food restaurants in our town. I did look up the one you suggested and it looks fairly simple. We are planning on trying it for a Saturday snack!
