Deceptively Delicious

For those of you who have a hard time fitting fruits and vegetables into your kid's meals, I would suggest you try Jessica Seinfeld's book; Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food. This book has healthy, easy-to-make recipes that are low in saturated fats, high in whole grains and use little sugar and artificial items (like colored sprinkles and packaged mac-n-cheese.) . The main idea of the book is to puree fruits and veggies to add to kids' favorite foods. Many parents are very concerned with adding more vegetables to their children's diets, and Deceptively Delicious includes 11 very simple whole veggie purees. Even if you, like me, would rather teach your kids to love vegetables and fruit without fooling them, this book may still be of use to you-- just tell your kids what is in the food they are eating. On the other hand, if you have a child who is going through a picky stage and you feel that you need to sneak in some veggies and fruits, try out Deceptively Delicious.
