I used to make a cheesecake that was made with a carrot cake crust. We used the crusts off the carrot cake, crumbled them, and used them as a base for the cream cheese crust. It was to die for.
I didn't do anything this fancy at all this week. Most of it came from one of restaurant that I can actually eat, and know the calories of. I write down every single calorie during the day. Yesterday was 2780 calories. I need that to gain the weight back, and it's working. I'm up to 103 lbs!
It's good to have a chef in the house.
I will probably be shopping for myself on my own two feet this weekend, with someone else driving, and will be able to be my normal crazy kitchen self.
I've found that the tall, roll-around art chair works really well at the stovetop for cooking, my instructors disregarded.

LOL! Husband appreciates the ‘sticking up’.
Johnny, keep loading the calories. Whatever tastes good.
(The carrot-cake crust sounds great!)

Since I’m cooking since I’m 9, I.ve never seen any reason to stand up unless at the stove. Why is it a crime to sit on a barstool and do the tedious chopping, shredding, grating, de-veining? The cook must also serve the dishes at precise temperatures and presentation, which happens at the very end and under perfectionist stress. I say sit down until you have to stand up. Happier cook, happier guests.
I have about 80 extra pounds, that I wish I could give you! Glad to hear you are able to gain some pounds.
