I got this book for Christmas and I must say, she has some pretty good ideas about how to get extra nutrition into the foods kids already like to eat. Garbanzo bean puree in mac and cheese, sweet potato puree in mac and cheese and grilled cheese, dollops of pureed spinach hidden in pizza, cauliflower puree in noodles with butter, sweet potato donuts and pancakes, etc. Her basic philosophy is to hide the veggies or match the colors with foods they are already eating so they don’t even notice it’s there. I tried the sweet potato mac and cheese today. Liam said it tasted okay it just smelled funny. I am going to try it with beans next to pump up the protein. We’ll see if it works. She stole my spinach and carrot juice in the brownies recipe though!
