Jessica Seinfeld - Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food — 

I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about buying this cookbook (Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld).  The retro cover and cute illustrations kept me admiring it, but I could never commit to the cost of it for what I perceived the value to be.  I am converted, however, after trying several of the recipes and finding them to be truly delicious.  I was also surprised to read about this being Jerry Seinfeld's physician wife.  Equally surprising was the fact that Jerry is now a Dad, but that is beside the point.

Obviously, the most difficult concept of cooking with fruit and vegetable purees is to actually get the food pureed.  I do need to invest in a better blender if I am to continue trying these recipes, but I think it is definitely a good reason to go and purchase a new blender.  My daughter and my husband are the pickier eaters in our household, and at least one of them has commented that the food is very good.  This is cause for me to continue trying to inject our bodies with much healthier foods.  I think many of the recipes were actually better tasting that the same recipe I might have tried without the puree.  The texture becomes much creamier in most foods.
