<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">Wow, I learned a few things from everyone and I have a few things to share....

Adam drinks his <span class="FTHighlightFont">whole milk mixed with half & half </span ft>and this was suggesest by the pediatric dietician at Doernbecher's

For variety I add chocolate syrup to it and he thinks it is great!

A few foods I make or buy for him are:

home made mac and cheese altered for him using heavy cream and lots of cheese
(what he doesn't eat I vacuum seal and freeze for easy meals ready to eat)
I add cheese and cream to soup
we use peanut butter
cottage cheese
yoplait red package yogurt
butter on all veggies and noodles (or Olive Oil)
Pop tarts
French Fries dipped in ranch
Ice Cream
Pizza
hotdogs/pepperoni/salami
home made alfredo sauce
lots of avacado's with salt
oreo's
he loves Pierogies with heavy sour cream
beer cheese soup
brocolli cheese soup
waffles with lots of butter and syrup
buttercream cake ( OMG! Delicious!!!)
quasadilla's with lots of sour cream
Instant Jello pudding that you add half and half to to ^ the calories and fat

Believe it or not, but the kid never has an upset stomach and he takes 3 creon 10 pills with all feeding ( even snacks) and all milk. So you can see that there are a lot of creative things you and your husband can do to enhance his diet. But the trick is to not fall into the habit of eating all that rich food yourselves. It is expensive to keep up with his needs but if you are wise, track all receipts and food purchased throughout the year and when it comes to tax season you can apply food cost to your medical. I found a link on this site somewhere that is tax related. Hope our diet ideas have helped you. I also freeze a lot of the food I make. I have a seal-a-meal that keeps the food fresh longer and it is easy when I am gone for my cooking defficient husband to pull something out of the freezer and feed Adam when Mommy is not home. Good luck and please, everyone share their ideas as I am always looking for new things to cook!

Sounds like we're definitely going to have to stock up on the half & half/cream!

WHat's this seal-a-meal thing? Is that the brand name?

Omlettes with cheese and sometimes bits of bacon were something my CF tot liked to eat at that age. Refried beans are a current favorite that had not occured to us back then but might be worth a look...but read the labels, some are low-cal.

We couldn't do dairy at all until our son was 3, so we had to come up with other ways. We still don't rely too heavily on it as it seems to cause more congestion even though he can digest it now. But it is nice we don't have to avoid it all together.

When he was little we added MCT oil to veggies and cooked with coconut oil as well. A bit of extra olive oil on noodles and lots of homemade or Trader Joes meatballs in little pieces. Sometimes he could handle goats milk yogurt and now we do the FAGE greek strained yogurt which is really high in fat. I also add ground almonds to lots of things like oatmeal, smoothies and even my breading for chicken. You can grind flax seeds and add them to things unnoticed.

We do a breakfast "ice cream" with avocodo, frozen strawberries, a banana, a bit of plain yogurt and ground almonds (sweeten with a little with agave nectar or honey).

Coconut milk is great and has good fat. As he gets older smoothies made with coconut milk, cocoa powder, banana and ground nuts is packed with good stuff and high in calories. These do not have any hydrogenated fats and no sugar, so we have like these better than OTC stuff. Baking muffins and quick breads can really give a punch aat snack time nd can be frozen.

Nut butters are great to have around and can be smeared on bread and crackers or added to smoothies as well.

A favorite book I am trying to work with now is added more veggies to everyday stuff using the purees. Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld and Sneaky Chef are great books for ideas. Combine with ground nuts, pureed beans and a bit of extra oil and butter you can really get alot of calories without all the yucky stuff. The mac and cheese in the Dec Del. book is awesome and has butternut squash in it too!

I have alot of recipes on the site below if you want some more ideas.

Best of luck...you're doing great already :)
