Recipes for Summer Gaining: Grimmwolf's Southwest Pasta Salad

The next recipe in our series comes from Grimmwolf, the encourager formerly known as the gainer JockBalloon. Grimm knows a thing or two about gaining- he packed on around 100lbs of fat to his frame after quitting wrestling after high school. See pic:


Recently he's chosen to embrace his inner encourager, to drop a bit of the belly and concentrate on getting really muscled. But don't forget, from personal experience, he knows just how to get a guy fat.

So, try this spicy pasta salad -it's tangy, easy to make, and ripe with calories. And while you're eating, be sure to check out GrimmWolf's Tales, a new gainer fiction blog written by the chef himself. Here's the recipe, in his own words:

Grimmwolf’s Southwest Pasta Salad:

2 boxes of your favorite pasta (I like to mix it up between two different types. Organic tastes better. NO ELBOWS.)
3 Bell Peppers: One Yellow, One Orange, One Red (you can swap in a green or any other bell peppers)
1 One Yellow Onion
2 ears of Sweet Corn.
3 Chicken Breast
1 Avocado (Yes we've seen these before)
Mayo, Hot Sauce, Lime, Little bit of Chipotle.

Before you start, note that a lot of this needs a grill. Either inside or outside, no using a George Foreman. All else fails u can use a pan but I wouldn’t recommend it.

First slice and de-seed all the pepper. It’s easiest if you do it in quarters or halves first. You wanna fire roast the peppers slightly, enough to char the skin and meat but not enough to dry out the veggies. This is going to apply for all the others veggies after the pepper. After the peppers are ready, dice them to thin bit. Go across the side to give you short bits and then put them into the bowl.

Make sure you have cooked the sweet corn before hand; this should be done before you start the pasta salad. But the corn on the heat and as it begins to get marks from the grill get turn it. Once the corn is nicely charred, slice the corn from its cob and put it in the bowl with the peppers.
Repeat the process with the onion that you have with the other veggies. Remove the skin, slice and lightly char. Then dice and drop it in the bowl.

Cook up the chicken, again nice char marks are a must! Then slices it up and again into the bowl.
Avocado. Can be done either slightly charred or just regular. Cut into small wedges and then when it is read (they will take the shortest time).

I’m not telling you guys how to cook your pasta. Cuz it all depends on taste. Anyway once all the items are ready you can toss them in with the pasta. Now on to the Southwest Mayo, to make it a pasta salad.

I can’t give you appropriate measurements because it again depends on your preference with how much sauce/mayo you like with your salads.

Either use homemade mayo, or take your regular store bought mayo (not lite) and mix it in with the hot sauce, chipotle, lime zest and juice. When it is all mix, the southwest mayo should appear a light pink. Obviously the redder it is, the more heat is going to be in it.
Its good cold and hot, as a meal or a side.

The Blogosphere Expands: Gym & Buffet

Hello faithful readers,

Just wanted to do a quick post to inform you all about Gym & Buffet, a new blog about lifting, eating, gaining, and general hotness. It's written by an adorable gainer/encourager couple, consisting of the currently growing G (whose transformation is pictured below),


and the formerly gaining, currently encouraging G, whose sadly now downsized belly is pictured here:




It's very smartly written, full of workout tips, insights into gaining, and is def. worth adding to your list of gainer/encourager blogs. And I mean, the pictures don't lie; these boys know a thing or three about growing a grade a ex-jock belly. Check it out and enjoy.

Recipes for Summer Gaining: Victor's Florentine Chicken Ring

So, I asked my friend Victor for a gainer friendly recipe. Being that Victor is 6' tall and 300lbs of beautifully fattened gainerman (up from 140lbs) he knows a thing or two about making yummy food that gets you growing.

Photographic Evidence of Victor's knowledge of good food:



He's literally twice as big as he was in high school. Drool. Onto the food!

Here is his recipe, and his words:

"This is a dish that I got from my mother over 15 years ago, and it is a perennial favorite with all my friends and family... Pretty much everyone I serve this to falls in love with it, and with good reason, too: the ingredients are simple, familiar, unfussy, unpretentious, easily storebought, and easily prepared.

It is hearty enough for the most diehard gainer or bodybuilder -- chock full of high-protein chicken breast and nutritious spinach -- yet is cheesy and carby enough to serve as a great comfort food too. The presentation is elegant enough for serving at a classy brunch, lunch or dinner party. Good playmates include a simple leafy green salad, a bowl of crisp chilled watermelon and cantaloupe, and some fudgy dark chocolate brownies for dessert. My beverage of choice is Coke, but if you're into wine, just go with a chilled Chardonnay or some other white wine to accompany this chicken ring."



INGREDIENTS:

- 4 chicken breasts, cooked thoroughly and cubed

- two 10-oz packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained

- 1 cup mild cheddar or American cheese, shredded

- 1/2 cup mayonnaise

- zest of 1 lemon

- 1/2 tsp salt

- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

- 2 tubes refrigerated crescent rolls (8 count each)

- 1 refrigerated pie crust

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large bowl, mix the chicken, spinach, cheese, mayonnaise, lemon zest, salt and nutmeg until a homogenous blend is created.

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Move oven rack to middle position.

3. Unroll pie crust onto a lightly greased pizza pan or pizza stone. Using a sharp knife, cut an 8-pointed star about 4" in diameter in the center of the crust.

4. Scoop the chicken mixture evenly onto the pie crust in between the star and the outer edge, staying about 1/4" away from both. Pat and mould the mixture until an even ring of filling is formed.

5. Unroll the crescents and separate them into individual triangles. Begin to cover the filling with crescents, by laying the wide end of a crescent at the outer edge of the pie crust; the narrow point of the triangle should be touching the 8-pointed star. Continue with remaining crescent rolls until the entire filling is covered in triangles. Note that small gaps may remain in between triangles; this is OK, as it allows for steam to escape. Also note that you may not use all 16 of the crescent rolls.

6. Using your fingertips, tuck and seal all the edges of the triangles into the pie crust on the outside edge of the ring. Do the same thing on the inside by rolling up the segments of the star and tucking the points of the crescent rolls into them. The end result should look like a giant donut.

7. Bake in the preheated 375-degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crescents are golden-brown. Serve piping hot by itself for brunch or lunch, or with a side salad as a dinner entree. Yield 10-12 servings.

I suggest you try and eat as many servings at once as possible, rub your belly and enjoy.

Hard Fat: The Gainer Documentary

Hard Fat on Vimeo.

Although it's not perfect, this is as far as I am aware the only documentary ever produced that openly focuses on gay gainers and encourager. It's got great eye candy, some thoughtful discussion, and is a much watch for any gainer and/or encourager type.

Who knows how long it'll be up there, so, take a few minutes and watch it today.

Welcome to Guts & Glory blog

I would like to introduce all of my readers to a new, albeit NSFW gainer blog I recently found, Grow it, Show it: Guts & Glory. The pics adorning this post are all from the blog. Somehow I've been unaware of this gainer-oriented photo blog that has been floating around the interwebs for a while. There are loads of hot guys, and very well done, suggestive captions and post titles. As far as I know, there is no other blog like this gainer themed online spank bank that doesn't involve hunting over dozens of websites on your own.

Although it's not technically gainer/encourager themed, if you enjoy Guts & Glory, I suggest you also check out the similar (and also NSFW) Stocky Jocks.

With both sites, not ever guy that is posted is exactly to my tastes, but there is enough variation and enough high quality hot guys that you'll most likely find some eye candy you haven't seen elsewhere.

Goodbye to Roitbear's Blog :(

So, one of the fellow gainer blogs that I have most enjoyed over the past few years is Riotbear's blog. It's been eloquent, dynamic, hot, and genuinely interesting. He also has a fantastic, casually sexy YouTube. I was sad to read that he's shutting down the blog.


I get that his life is going in a different direction at the moment, and I respect that. Gaining is all about doing what feels good to you and making yourself happy.

But, haha, I am sure I am not the only one that would like to let Mr. Riotbear know that if at anytime he finds himself packing on a few pounds and has any desire at all to open up the blog again, the gainer & encourager community will be waiting here with open arms and a couple of pints of ice cream. :)

Until then Mr. Riotbear, I wish you the best.

I'll leave you guys with one of his low key, gainer eating vids.

Beefy Guy with iPhone

Ok, I know the site is sleazy, but I saw looking through the guys with iPhones website, and I found this really cute beefy guy, so I figured I'd show you guys. The site is not safe for work, but, here's the pic! He's not huge, but he's pretty friggen hot. Nice little starter belly. I was happy to see all the positive comments too.

The Journey of the Yellow Shirt

Yeah, so, this guy's progression is absolutely beautiful.

Impressive isn't even the word. Epic. Keep growing bigguy.

Grub-On: Magic Potion or Placebo?

My pal DarknessShadowL from Beefy ordered some Grub-On Appetite Enhancer, so, I asked him to write a review of it when he and his boyfriend tested it's effects. Here's what he wrote:

Grub-On: Magic Potion or Placebo?

The answer is that either way, it works and works well.

Appearance: The bottle it comes in is rather sketchy looking, to be honest, looking like something made in a basement or by a do-it-yourself home chemist.

Ease of Use: Drinking Grub-On is no problem, just add it to water (or whatever) and slowly drink it making sure to swish it around your mouth and then hit the food.

Taste: Very weak, almost unnoticeable. Not unpleasant at all, could easily be added to someone else’s drink without them noticing…



Value: Great, with the use of only a few drops per use, Grub-On will last through many big meals.

Effect: This is what everyone cares about: Can Grub-On make me eat more? And in my opinion, I would say definitely. Adam and I ate dinner, came back to the room and killed some time (a couple hours) and I had some Grub-On and then we went to Buffalo Wild Wings and I had the 24 piece boneless wings with no problem. With someone pushing you to eat more, I was able to get in bite after bite without even feeling full, although my gut was getting rounder and rounder. This was followed by a large bowl of banana pudding (Southern style, not instant from a box) and this pushed my gut to a new size and roundness that I had never achieved before. I was able to lay back and chow down while being completely comfortable watching my gut swell up more and more as Adam fed me without slowing down. Grub-On turns you into an eating machine.

Verdict: Buy Grub-On, it probably won’t work for everyone, but I had awesome results with it.



Although you can get it from many places online, at various prices, DarknessShadowL bought his from this site. I also heard via my twitter that ubergainer GainerguyCdn felt that Grub-On had "some semblance of effective on a very minor scale." Though I haven't tried Grub-On personally, I would posit that at nearly 450lbs, GainerguyCdn's appetite couldn't possibly be enhanced much more. A big thanks to DarknessShadowL and GainerguyCdn for their input, and happy stuffing guys.

The Best of the Best: August 20, 2009

So, this video is amazing. It was posted by BellyBurst a year ago, and I meant to post it then but didn't for some reason or another. I think is pretty much without parallel in the gainer video world in terms of the effort and wit with which it is put together. Even though the guy isn't the biggest gainer I've ever seen, creative camera work and a beautiful double entendre with the choice of music make this video brilliantly stand out. And it doesn't hurt that the guy has a beautiful body, even though like most men, it could use a few more lbs.

The Blogosphere expands again

Now, I'm sure a bunch of you have already seen his blog already, but in case you hadn't found it on your own, I wanted to point out ExJock's blog, Tease | Bully | Praise | Worship.

He's really hot, used to be really ripped, and now just eats what he wants, and totally gets off on it. Oh, and he's a huge exhibitionist. What more could you ask for? His blog is awesome cause it puts the sexuality of gaining front and center, while so many of the people in our community sort of pretend that it's not really all that sexual. The vids of him and his boyfriend fooling around with his belly, there's nothing else like it online today. The before and after pics are enough to many any encourager drool. And did I mention he's hot?


The exploration of how gaining is tied to other more "traditional" fetishes, such as S&M, and humiliation kind of stuff is another reason Tease | Bully | Praise | Worship is really a unique contribution to the blogosphere. Check it out, you won't be sorry.
