I'm Practically Mrs. Seinfeld
Did anyone see Jerry Seinfeld's wife, Jessica, on Oprah earlier this year? She had a new cookbook out called Deceptively Delicious which received rave reviews for its creativity in achieving the end result of getting children to eat their vegetables once and for all. In her fun, colorful cookbook she describes how to make beautiful vegetable purees and color match them to the food the child is eating.
So, for example, if you were making mashed potatoes (white), you would add cauliflower puree (also white) to them and your child would unwittingly eat the vegetables.
Then Dr. Oz, who wrote the forward to her book, spoke about childhood obesity and the brilliance of adding purees to food.
I love this concept but am confused as to why I need a cookbook to put this into practice. Just tell me where to buy the pretty puree and how to shove it into the Uncrustables.
My favorite is the homemade pancake recipe and the veggie purees she tosses in the batter. Great, but how do you sneak them into the frozen jungle pancakes?

If only they knew. Yep, that's right. Chick pea stuffed boar loin infused sundaes at the golden arches.
Gotcha kids!
Brilliant!

So so happy to see you've posted, love. I'm confused. I thought this book was in dispute, because someone claimed she stole the idea? And, had proof??

Oh my gosh Sheri, that's hilarious! Crustables have the 5 food groups, right?

The woman also puts spinach in brownies. Isn't that a crime in most states? Or is that just the bible belt.

Wait, you forgot to make sure that the pizza delivery place substitutes flat spicy carrots for the pepperonis.

What is the cooking of which you speak?
Thank God you're back, you know there's NOTHING on TV.

Maybe you could just have them dip the uncrustables into some yogurt? That's gotta help, right?? RIGHT?

You crack me up; it's so true!!

YAY!
What I want to know is if the puree can be powderized and sprinkled atop Cheetos.

"Chick pea stuffed boar loin infused sundaes" ... boar? LMAO
Missed your posts, in case you couldn't tell ...

so...do you use food coloring to disguise the chick pea hue? My kids are very suspicious of taste, smell, texture, AND coloring. Perceptive little effers.

Well, they seem to be enjoying them, so I'd say it's working! Me, I'm gonna see what they got at BK tonight and let ya' know.

This is great. I have become an expert in deceitful parenting tactics. I used to stick raisins into my sons PB&J. until he threw up and it stunk so bad! Now he won't eat PB&J OR raisins.
Dang. Oh well... little does he know what's in his "smoothies!"

Too funny! Glad to see you back.

I hear ya! How do you put puree goodness in Tyson's chicken nuggets? Kids are too smart or something--they detect the slightest texture change or the slightest smell difference, all bets are off! LOL
Great entry. :o)

This is hilarious. I am mortified by my children's eating habits.
