The Sneaky Chef

The Sneaky Chef strikes again!!

Her third book is due out in April. I am a huge fan and have both books. There is one for kids and one geared for cooking for "your man". I love the idea of making every meal as healthy as possible and not compromising taste. Especially for my son who has sensory issues. His food preferences are very limited, so it is important to make what he does like as nutritious as possible.

And especially for ME. I only like broccoli, celery, spinach, and raw carrots, so I need all the help I can get!

healthy cookies

Tonight I made "Health by Chocolate cookies" by the Sneaky Chef. I made a little homemade chocolate icing to really seal the deal for my picky crew.

It was a huge hit!

They had blueberries, spinach, white wheat flour and only 1 cup of sugar total for about 2 dozen cookies.

SHHHHH!! Don't tell anyone they were healthy!

The Sneaky Chef

I discovered a wonderful book called the Sneaky Chef. Maybe you have heard of the controversy between this book and Jessica Seinfeld's book called Deceptively Delicious.Both books have recipes for adding vegetables to food to make it more nutritious.

If your kids are wonderful eaters and eat whatever you put in front of them, well then, you may just want to move on, you lucky person!! ;)

My kids are just as picky as I was/is and one child has sensory issues. I ordered the Sneaky Chef book and am waiting for it. Meanwhile I have tried several of her recipes I have been pretty pleased so far.

The first thing I tried was steaming some carrots, blending them and adding them to spaghetti sauce. No one noticed and everyone liked it.Then I blended up some steamed broccoli and mixed it into the meatballs. Everyone loved those too! Well, one child didn't like the meatballs, but it wasn't because of the broccoli.

Last night I made the brainy brownies complete w/ blended spinach and blueberries. I'd read that the brownies turned out thin, so I doubled the recipe. I could have used a smaller pan.These were the most delicious brownies healthy or otherwise. Very moist. Only one child(my oldest) thought they needed more sugar or chocolate.He still ate 2 of them. The other kids enjoyed them.
