"Deceptively Delicious!"

Jessica Seinfeld, yes Jerry Seinfeld's wife, was on Oprah a couple of days ago promoting her new book, Deceptively Delicious! Here is a little about the book: "Don't surrender the veggie war just yet! J essica's cooking secret is simple…and a little sneaky. "The trick to all of this is hiding vegetable purees in your children's foods," she says. "You can match the color of the puree to the color of the food that your kid is used to eating. "Jessica came up with this strategy while cooking for her family. She gives macaroni and cheese—one of her kids' favorite foods—a healthy spin by stirring in some butternut squash or cauliflower puree. The best part? Children can't taste a difference! "This was a big hit with my family," she says. "But it wasn't until I started inviting friends and family over that I realized that I had really hit on something big."

After watching I really want to get the book. Healthy even for people cooking without kids. I know I struggle to get my daily quota of fruits and veggies. She said that she steams her veggies every Sunday evening, purees and then puts them in small baggies ready for use throughout the week in any recipe. There is even a recipe for chicken nuggets and brownies. Oprah and members of the audience were trying the recipes and fawning over them.

Happy cooking and here's to hoping my hubby doesn't read this post... ; )
