I won't be cooking for the next few months and need a recommendation.
Is there a good brand out there or is it hopeless? I'd like to taste more egg and less cardboard.

Not Eggo. They become hard and cold one second after it comes out of toaster

Trader Joe's esp their French toast

If you were able to plan ahead, I would suggest making a batch of waffles and freezing them. Wrap individually in was paper and store in a ziplock freezer bag. They reheat in the toaster just like regular frozen waffles. But since it looks like you've broken your hands, maybe ask someone to make them for you?

How about not eating waffles?
You type fat!!!

I was going to say this. It works for pancakes too, only don't do it if you put things like berries in them they don't freeze as well.

R4 I need something easy, with no clean-up. I lost 13 pounds this month, i need to gain some weight, not lose it. I suppose I could put up an ad on craigslist asking for someone to cook up a batch.
Not a bad idea. Thanks.

Why can't you cook?
If you need something easy and need to gain weight... Pop Tarts! Or I dunno, bagels with cream cheese?

Eggo thick and fluffy are scrumptious.

Buy expensive ones that come from somewhere like France or Belgium.

Eggo thick and fluffy taste better than any Belgian waffle on the market.

because you cannot make waffles OP? Here, this is a simple recipe.

Are you home bound? Call meals on wheels and sign up for delivery. Free.

How about a couple of thick milkshakes a day with added banana and raw eggs, if you can get pastured shell eggs you don't have to be afraid to eat them raw.
If you can afford it send out for a really good quality restaurant burger a day. Load it with mayo and have mashed, more nutritious than fries, on the side.
Can you make yourself hot cereal? It can be reheated. Make a big pot once a week and eat it all week. Add lots of butter and sugar and if you're allowed, salt. Add heavy cream instead of milk.
There really isn't too much to waffles as far as nutrition goes. French toast would have more, especially if you use lots of eggs and really soak the bread and fry each slice in lots of butter.
None of these things are too physically difficult to make but I don't know what your problem is and it could be that even getting yourself a glass of water might be too much.
Do you have anyone who can help you and cook up big batches of things for you that will last for a week. Or again, if you can afford it and you can get to the door order out, the most fattening things on the menu, but the healthy ones, like eggs Benedict. Get gravy on healthy things like roast chicken and let them put gravy on the potatoes. Get vegetables but get them sauteed or fried. There are lots of ways to combine healthy food and high calories.
Also get your doctor to order those drinks that help people put weight on. Have a few of those a day. I have no idea if they taste good or are disgusting. Trying to gain weight isn't something I've had to try.
Don't deal with Craig's List, for anything!
Hope you feel better soon, OP.

I'll be happy to come over and make some for you.

Lots of good ideas here, thank you. I ordered the Eggo Light and Fluffy for delivery, mainly because the poster was so adamant that they taste good. That whole interaction made me laugh.
I broke a bunch of bones, including both hands. Lifting anything heavier than a toothbrush isn't possible yet, so I won't be doing any cooking or clean up. I'm not even hungry, just eating to cushion the ibuprophen. And I might call meals on wheels, excellent idea.

Oh man, OP I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm trying to send you love and hugs in the atmosphere. Broken hands. How can you function at all. I hope you have some help, friends or relatives or some kind of people from an agency or someone. How do you even get out of bed or get dressed. Seriously, my heart is breaking for you.

Jesus, OP, that's terrible. I'm sorry. I wish I knew you so I could cook for you.
Have you got a home health aide or similar to help with eating and all that other stuff?
Good luck.

I am definitely calling meals on wheels, I gotta make things even simpler for awhile. Thanks to whoever said that.

I suspect there’s a good chance you are eligible for home care services, which would include meal preparation and cleaning - among other things. A friend of mine who had an accident and broke both his legs had somebody come to his house for an hour and a half a day and made meals for him and cleaned up after the previous day’s meals. Get in touch with someone in your city or county government and ask how you might get these benefits.
