The Miracle Cookbook

I wanted to wait and post about this until I had actually tried some of the recipes.

Last night we had french toast and eggs for dinner, and I used the recipes from Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld.

I asked for this book for Christmas and was thrilled to get it. I had heard some neat things about it, and she was even on Oprah (which means she must be good!)

She hides vegetables in everyday foods in order to get her kids eating a little more healthy. I'm always looking for ways to get my girls to eat their vegetables. So far the only vegetable Allison likes are green beans, and Lauryn will reluctantly eat a veggie as long as it has a mountain of cheese on top.

So I gave it a try, and last night both of my girls ate butternut squash and cauliflower, and they didn't even know it! The eggs were made with a cauliflower puree. Lauryn asked for two servings. When she finished the second serving, she literally started eating more eggs straight from the serving bowl. And Allison devoured the french toast, which was also made with a puree (squash).

I am so excited to try tonight's recipe (chicken nuggets and mozzarella sticks) and see if it goes just as well!
