My four-year old won't touch anything green unless it is a skittle or a jelly-bean, so I do what I can to make sure he gets some of his nutrients.

I've found some winners in this book, most definitely, though unfortunately, they haven't been the vegetable rich ones yet. Crispy no-fry fries were received with ovations from both the preschooler and my husband. I love the No Harm Chicken Parm, but the preschooler decided he wasn't hungry after the garlic bread was devoured and the husband said it didn't hold a candle to my standard chicken parm.

We all loved the Cream of Tomato soup made with sweet potatos, carrots and evaporated milk. We also will be keeping the pancakes and breakfast cookies in a frequent rotation.

If nothing else, this book is helping me to see the health benefits in the things he will eat. The fact that there are multiple fruit purees makes me laugh. My kid not eat fruit? His standard breakfast is a banana, strawberries, blue berries, apple and whatever else fruit is in season and a bagel.

Maybe I'll need those recipes for my one year old, who currently won't touch fruit unless cinnamon plays a part. ( )

Very well thought out, and helpful. Takes your standard fare, such as sloppy joes and incorporate some hidden veggies into it in the form of purees. However, I thought it was a bit limited in the purees in terms of veggies. But definitely check this book out if you've got a picky eater in the family. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0762430753, Paperback)

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)
