Product Description:
Parents will do almost anything to get their kids to eat healthier, but unfortunately, they’ve found that begging, pleading, threatening, and bribing don’t work. With their patience wearing thin, parents will “give in” for the sake of family peace, and reach for “kiddie” favorites-often nutritionally inferior choices such as fried fish sticks, mac n’ cheese, Pop-sicles, and cookies. Missy Chase Lapine, former publisher of Eating Well magazine, faced the same challenges with her two young daughters, and she sought a solution. Now in The Sneaky Chef, Lapine presents over 75 recipes that ingeniously disguise the most important superfoods inside kids’ favorite meals. With the addition of a few simple make-ahead purees or clever replacements, (some may surprise you!) parents can pack more fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants in their kids’ foods. Examples of “Sneaky” recipes include: No Harm Chicken Parm Power Pizza Incognito Burritos Guerilla Grilled Cheese Brainy Brownies Health-by-Chocolate Cookies Quick fixes for Jell-O(R)

- Good, just needs a few tweaks
Excellent book! My son won't eat green veggies, so sneaking them into his meatballs is a great alternative. The recipies are very creative, just need to add a few more spices to them to make them come alive.

I love this book! I prefer to take time about once a month and make a ton of purees to freeze. I have learned great recipes from this book as well as easy ways to sneak these purees into every meal I make! I highly recommend this book to any parent that wants to make sure their kids get all their daily nutrients.
