Deceptively Delicious

So I bought Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfield and its awesome!!!! Who knew you could sneak veggies & fruits into foods where veggies & fruit do not normally exist?  OK, I can see where some people would think deception is not the answer...well to you, I say, "You haven't yet experienced picky-eater-itis!" I am all for getting the nutrients and veggies in where you wouldn't normally expect them.....for example who new you could make brownies with spinach and carrot puree in them- when cooled you can't even taste the spinach (for real, I promise....granted they're not as chocolaty as my Gram's recipe, but definitely healthier.) And I baked peanut butter and jelly muffins (with carrots) and they were delicious!!! I am looking at trying the pink pancake recipe this weekend with beets...and for added effect I am going to add blueberries just to make it look less suspecting- ha!- I think I'm getting the hang of this concept.



On side note, I just tried Smitten Kitten's raspberry brown sugar gratin and it's EASY, refreshing, light, and YUMMY! Check it out! (No veggies or deception here, just plain 'ol good food!!!!)

  3. I bought that book for my cousin two years ago when her toddler was starting to change his food likes and dislikes on a daily basis. Hope it works! :)
