deceptively delicious!!!!

You mommy friends of mine that have toddlers may struggle with the same monster I do...getting your child to eat vegetables. I have been as creative as I possibly can but obviously not creative enough. I got Jessica Seinfield's new cookbook Deceptively Delicious in hopes I could find some recipes that Greyson would like and at the same time get veggies into his little body. I must admit, I was a little skeptical of how good brownies w/ spinach would be, but so far so good!!! I have made the brownies with spinach, quesadillas w/ squash, avacado spread, grilled cheese with squash and mac-n-cheese w/ cauliflower. He has eaten them all and I cannot tell you how exciting it is to see him eat something he loves secretly knowing there are veggies there!! I will tell you I made the gingerbread spice cake with broccoli and it was awful-I didn't even let Greyson try it b/c I spit it out myself :). Oh, and did I mention the house smelled like broccoli for a day after baking it?? So if you are struggling with the same problem I would highly suggest you investing in the cookbook. Happy veggie feeding!!
