Default Gain Weight Healthily

I am naturally thin. I am 171cm tall and 48kgs. I feel I look my best with another 8 kgs on. I can gain wieght easy however I have trouble doing so healthily. Recently I decided I dont want to put bad foods into my body. If there are no nutrients what is the point?

I cut out all softdrinks, lollies- anythingthat is almost straight sugar or oil was scrapped from my diet. My skin improved vastly and my energy levels were alround higher- not to mention my moods balanced drastically and in general were more positive.

The only problem was I lost a lot of weight. I look better with more on. I cannot think of foods that are fresh healthy yet fattening...? I still use butter and extra virgin oil to cook, I still put salt and pepper on for taste.

Now I resorted to eating 3 serves of bakery food daily, one serve of hamburger/prawnroll daily and then also snacking n fruit and yoghurt. I cook dinners, with veges and meats, My face has gotten worse again and I dont feel as energetic. I know once I gain enough and I go back to healthier food the wieght will drop straight back off again.

Does anyone have any ideas on non greasy, sugary foods that have nutrients and will help put the wieght on? Is pasta and rice that bad? I love them...
