Just getting over being sick. Now my boyfriend's sick.
He eats only pizza and pizza-like things (read: pasta with marinara and cheese, no meat, no veggies, grilled-cheese sandwiches, etc. Not even scrambled eggs or burgers.)

What can I cook for him while he's getting better?

1. Definitely get it, it is a tome of majesty.

2. Wow, that's... wow. That is a narrow sort of diet. Is it a stomach thing or a cold or what? I'd recommend plain pizza dough baked with a little bit of olive oil, grated cheese, and rosemary if his stomach is upset, because it's pretty mild. If he's got a cold, pasta and marinara probably won't be too bad. Dairy's bad for both gastrointestinal and respiratory troubles, so the less cheese, the better.

EDIT: I've had Hi-Chews once or twice, but has anyone had Puccho candy? It looks intriguing.

Making a New York style cheesecake from scratch... It smells sooooooo good.

I'm a Bittman fan, though he is a little tree-huggy even for me. But I like his commonsense approach to things. I made a big batch of granola this morning from the recipe in this book. I make it all the time and it is OMG THE BEST granola ever! We eat vegetarian at home 5 or 6 nights a week and chicken the other nights though I do love a good steak or hamburger when I eat out. Also - BACON!

Having to make a ton of cookies for a community night thing happening at my church tomorrow night. My kitchen smells so good, its hard not to eat any of the cookies... @_@

[ShinobiXikyu]

Going to try a different style of easter dinner; honeyed roast duck, and sweet potatoes (in some form. Not sure which yet. Maybe baked...). Mmm. Wish me luck. Neither Mom or I have roasted a duck before. Lasttime I had duck, Dad roasted it, and it wasn't a whole bird, just a breast (shot by a friend of ours who duck hunts. It wasa wood duck. And good god, it was as hard as wood. X_X)

Bagels and Lox this morning for breakfast!! ..With avacado and spinach for extra yum :9

[Stina006]

I had a 'pocky only' diet and an 'Ice diet'.

[ShinobiXikyu]

mmm. Home-made banana cream pie for dessert. And I got the last piece (psh, I only GOT two of the eight...)

[SaskWhovian]

Not a big fan of Banana cream desserts.


Banana cake or muffins though? Yes. Muchly yes.

[ShinobiXikyu]

And homemade banana bread. Once again, my Mom bakes awesome scratch banana bread. She also used to do great shortbread cookies and from-sratch (including the crust and a little dough apple-sculpture on the top crust) apple pie. Mmm. I certainly had plenty of old-fashioned home cooking in my childhood.

[SaskWhovian]

My mom tends to do apple pies, apple crisp and most banana based cake/bread/muffiny things from scratch.


Everything else she would buy.

[ShinobiXikyu]

Mine used to bake a lot when i was a kid, but now that she's been divorced (agan) since I was twelve or so, and has her own business to run (and a contracting business, so she can pull MASSIVELY long weeks sometimes)... AND upkeep on a big chunk of property and the house in the country... yah. Not much time to bake any more.
Now my boyfriend does all the baking. XD (Cookies, pie, quiche, and plenty of regular cooking. I HATE being in the kitchen, and he's one hell of a cook.)
