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

I bought this book after seeing Jessica on the Oprah show. The recipies looked so easy and delicious that I couldn't wait to see the book for myself. Within 24 hrs of seeing the show, I was on the Internet purchasing the book. The day I got the book in the mail I was off to the grocery store to stock up on a few things like wheat germ, flax seed meal, and lots of fresh veggies (new for us!) I spent an entire Sunday afternoon pureeing the veggies after I cooked them. This was the hardest part, but I now have a freezer full of different pureed veggies to use at a moments notice.

The first meal I made was monzarella sticks, home-made macaroni and cheese, and turkey burgers. My kids only eat hot dogs or chicken strips and I about fell over when they actually ate the turkey burgers! When my son, who is a very picky eater, tasted the mac and cheese (which was made with a butternut squash puree) he said those words any Mom would love to hear: "Mom! This is better than the box!" Who would have thought that my kids would eat veggies?

So far we have made about 8 recipes from this cook book and we have loved everything. I highly recommend this book for any busy family. The recipes are healthy, easy, and low cost buy using common household staples.
