Off the subject......recipe help?

I'm a nurse, working at a nursing home, and I also help with activities some days.....One of the activities that I do is called "What's cooking?" and that's what I need to know.......I'm running out of ideas. I want something that is good for them, but high calorie, since with dementia, a lot of them have trouble with keeping weight on, but I also try to do things that they can get involved in, you know, to help make, or at least choose what they want.....you know? Maybe kid-friendly would work, but I don't have kids, so that doesn't give me anymore ideas.....Do you have any?

:ohwell:

I bought a great grilled cheese cook book with my son. It has tons of various ways to cook grilled cheese. It's simple, and high in calories.
