Another great resource is the Sneaky Chef’s website. Coming soon: My version of her Spaghetti & Meatballs and the Pita Pizza! Check out her book, “Deceptively Delicious” at your local library or order on Amazon here. 🙂 For more great recipe ideas, head over to Jessica Seinfeld’s website. I take that as a sign that this recipe is a keeper. This brownie recipe calls for eight simple ingredients: all-purpose flour, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla, salt, and of course, chocolate. Many of our kids LOVE these and always ask when I am going to make them again.

Place on a cookie sheet seam-side-down and bake in the oven on 250 degrees for 5-7 minutes. I’m determined to have them converted by the end of the year!) Then I add 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, 1/2 block (4 oz) cream cheese, 1/4 tsp. I throw the chicken into the food processor and chop well. I throw the veggies (1/2 cup each, steamed) into a food processor and blend until nice and smooth. To serve 6, I cook 1 cup of chicken, and steam yellow squash and carrots (about 2 carrots and 1 bigger squash). One of the staples behind her recipes are purèed fruits and veggies. I had one little girl tell me she didn’t like carrots, yet she ate the burritos right up… Mash up all the ingredients in a bowl and add some purèed veggies….Seriously, the kids won’t know. The first dinner I tried was her “Tortilla Cigars.” Basic cheesy-chicken burritos-but with a twist. The idea behind her book is to incorporate veggies and other healthful foods into everyday recipes without the kids knowing. She now has a website and food products to help make her recipes that much easier. I have found Jessica Seinfeld’s book, “Deceptively Delicious” to be a world of help. I won’t say the meals I make are super healthy (or at least by MY standards), but I’d like to think that by making small, significant choices, I am doing a little better at providing them with some nutrition. Deceptively Delicious also shares tips on making healthy snacks and improving store.

That being stated, I have been on the lookout for recipes to make. In Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food, Jessica shares her solutions: easy, mouthwatering recipes that even the most overwhelmed families can makestealthily packed with unseen veggies, pureed so kids will never suspect. But I have enough friends with kids to have an idea. I don’t have kids of my own, so I jumped into this job rather blindly. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the brownies are set. They range in age from kindergarten to Fifth grade. Use a wooden toothpick to pull the egg mixture through the batter, creating a marbled effect. We serve them dinner before their lesson starts. As many of you may know, I am the “Lunch Lady” on Tuesday nights for the kids at my church.
