Deceptively Delicious

This is a wonderful cookbook I got a few years ago that uses vegetable purees in your regular meals. There are tons of different ones out there. This one is authored by Jerry Seinfeld's wife. It has lots of great recipes, of which I've only skimmed the surface. It gives directions and tips on everything vegetable and everything puree. It's great. I've found that you can use home pureed foods in these recipes, as well as baby food. I've got a baby who's not on table food yet, so we have baby food sitting around all the time. Sometimes I've had home pureed sweet potatoes or yams, which work for her recipes. But I've also found that the canned baby food from the store works great too. It even comes in perfect proportions for her recipes. (usually 4 or 8 oz.) So look out for these recipes coming up soon. They can take a few tries to get used to, but I really do think they're great if you do them properly, and don't tell your kids what's in them!  And to be honest, I don't just do this for my kids' benefit, but for me too. I know I don't get nearly enough vegetables in my diet. So this way we are all getting more of what we need and it feels good to be eating healthy.
