Sneaky Food Update

So far, so good. We've had success with 4 recipes!!! I didn't take pictures of them all but here are a couple:

The mac-n-cheese (with cauliflower) was a hit with everyone as were the brownies (with spinach and carrots). The only thing I would do differently with the brownies would be to use regular flour instead of oat flour--the texture was a little grainy. (But the kids didn't complain.)
We also had lasagna (with sweet potato and cauliflower) and it was sooooooo yummy! I LOVED it (and I don't like sweet potato OR cauliflower)!!!! Actually everyone loved it. Good thing I made one to freeze, too. :)
Last night we had sloppy joes and they were yummy, too! I don't like sloppy joes or most of the veggies that were in it (celery, sweet potato and red pepper) but they were sooooo good. (Are you beginning to see why my kids are so picky? I guess I'm not a very good example...)
I'm actually excited to try the next round of recipes!

I was going to ask if the sneaky food idea was for Trevin or you?

Question- how much of the nutrients are lost when the veggies are steamed and puree'd? And do you have the calories for those recipes?

we love sneaking vegi's into our food. My son actually prefers mac and cheese with a cup of butternut squash puree thrown in. And he is my picky eater!

Okay, I am suitably impressed.
It's REALLY good?! Are you serious? Will you share some of the recipes? Only, will you ask your K not to tell my K what's really in it? :)

hey Jennifer! Great ideas. I was wondering if you could email me your number. I need to give you a call about something. :) Thanks!

OK, my sis-in-law told me about this book back in OCT and I've had my eye on it. Today, I just ordered my copy. My kids weren't bad eaters until Nathan came along, he is sure picky, but the more veggies I can sneak over on big Nate the better! :)
