Deceptively Delicious- Jessica's Secret to Cooking for Kids

You all know I love all things food.  I am a big foodie! So when my kids refuse to eat their vegetables I am lost and really don't know how to recover.  Do I make them sit for two hours? I really don't have patience for that method.  Do I cook different meals? Absolutely not, I am not a short-order cook.  Why does this have to be so difficult? When I was a kid, I had no problems eating.  Put it in front of my face and I was going to eat it along with your food.  I have always loved food.

So,  I realize I am going to have to bite the bullet and purchase the Deceptively Delicious cookbook byJessica Seinfeld. Yes, the wife of the very funny and talented Mr. Jerry Seinfeld. My great friend has been raving about this book because she was able to prepare dinner meals and even desserts packed with vegetables for her kids. My denial would not let me fly out and purchase this little recipe of secrets.  I wanted to believe my foods were very tasty but my kiddos' pallets were just not mature enough to recognize savory- delectable- meals.  Jessica found a creative, savory and deceptive way to coerce secretly persuade her kids into eating their veggies- she purees the veggies and hides them in different meals. According to her introduction, the kids have no idea! They are fooled. GENIUS!  A great way to enjoy meals that are yummy and packed with a healthy secret…SHHHH.

So, I will purchase the book and try a few meals.  Of course, I will share the verdict with all of you.  Confidence is brewing right about now; I think this will secretly encourage my kids to eat their veggies.  (Doing the happy dance right now!)
