Deceptively Delicious

I am very big on cooking. I cook to save money. We hardly ever eat out unless it is a special occasion like a holiday or birthday. I like the thought of cooking on a daily basis because it allows me to monitor what goes into my families bodies. I know exactly what I cooked with, how much I used, and can be assured that it will often times be on the healthier side versus fast food.
When I got the opportunity to review the book Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food by Jessica Seinfield, I jumped at the chance. I was so excited to see how these recipes would fair with my picky household of boys. For those that do not know, Jessica Seinfield is Jerry Seinfields wife. So to have a “celebrities cookbook” in my home is even greater. Apparently she had the same issues I was having when it came to getting her family to eat their vegetables.
The recipes in the Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food book are very easy to follow. Almost all of the recipes that I tried came out delicious and you never knew that there was a single vegetable in them. There is a little extra prep work that goes into disguising vegetables to look like other foods but I think the extra effort was all well worth it to see my two year old gobble up a muffin that I knew had squash in it.
I encourage all of my Domestic Diva readers to go out and buy this book. It really is great. You will love the recipes. I even saw this book at my grocery store the other day so I know you will be able to find it in your area, if not there is always a place to buy it online.

This sounds like a great idea - the problem is I’m doing the cooking but I need someone to hide the fact that the vegies. are in the muffins from ME or I won’t touch it, lol…
I think I still want to try it out, though…not sure.

That sounds like a great idea. My mom is visiting right now and she seems to know all about Jessica Seinfeld’s tricks for sticking veggies in food (she watches TV, whereas I live under a rock). I also had no idea those two crazy kids had three ankle biters already.
In any case… I’ll have to check it out!
