Re: Sneaking veggies in food

[Guest guest]

Excellent news on an accomplishment here, yes!

Glad this was a success.

I saw this cookbook recently while I was purchasing some Christmas

books. I just could not remember where I had heard about it but now

that you have shared it, do believe it was Sara.

I did not glance at it but will next time to check it out since this

was with all the books on sale for the holiday.

Thanks for sharing your cooking success.

cookbook, but I'm glad somebody did. I bought it several months ago.

It happened to be right after we had decided to purchase a electric

steamer, so we were already on the right road. I already had small

chopper, and it's been keeping up with all of my pureeing.

I did try & loved the banana bread & lemon blueberry muffins. There

are several recipes I still want to try. The important thing is that

it's been helping me to add veggies to our girls (4 1/2 & 2 years)

diets. I know that I could have gotten information on steaming

veggies & making purees off of the internet cheaper. However, with 2

kids under 5 it's not always easy to find the time.

purees to existing recipes of mine. These days I'm almost always

adding pureed carrot or cauliflower to our dinners. Tonight I made

Chicken Tetrazzinni I decided to steam & puree the zucchini instead

of slicing it thinly like I always do. I figured it would make it

much easier on us at dinnertime, because we then wouldn't be trying

to work around the zucchini for the girls helpings. Having chunks of

chicken & spaghetti in the dish & I didn't feel like we were

eating a " pureed " meal. The girls ate great!

We also love either julianned carrots or pureed carrots added to anything

red like chili or red gravy.

Cauliflour goes in mashed potatoes. Spinach goes in brownies. ANd zucchini

can go in anything, but we like to add it to bread flours for bread or

muffins and added to bannana bread is a double whammy.

SOLD!!! Y'all sold me on purchasing a couple of these books then so

that my son and his ex will learn to apply some of these veggies for

my grandson. I have not really pushed it other than carrots and

broccoli and Juice Plus gummies, does contain some sugar but his

appetite is improving.

No problem with Master Stevo, he eats anything I have made.

Not to jinx it but does beat when once upon a time being a picky eater.

Thanks guys!
