For those moms out there who have not read a parent magazine, or watched Oprah this week, the big push in feeding kids is hiding veggies in their food. Why this push? Oh that would be because Jessica Seinfeld wrote a cook book all about how she purees veggies and mixes them in her kids food. I was intrigued after all the reviews I had read. I am not a fan of Jessica (although I do like her name) or her husband, but I like the idea of kids eating better. I have already taken to adding flax to anything I can. B used to like all veggies, but is now for some reason changing her mind. And A does whatever B does. So I like the idea of adding to their veggie intake. Heck even I can use some additional veggies in my cake and brownies.
Well anyway, I thought I would check it out and see if it really as great as everyone is saying. I can't find the book anywhere! It is sold out all over, and I am not going to order it online and pay shipping. So I figured I would wait and get it free from the library. Well no good there either. They don't even have their copy yet. ARGH!!!
Funny, as I was in Barnes and Nobles (coupon in hand) looking for Jessica's book I came across another cookbook just like Jessica's called The Sneaky Chef. This one is written by a publisher of Eating Well magazine and founder of a natural baby product line, not the wife of a famous person. So off the shelf it came. From the glance I gave it it looks just like Jessica's. It even has some similar recipes.
Yes, I bought it. Remember I am addicted to cookbooks and shopping. Now all I have to get is a rice cooker/steamer instead of just using my pot and steam basket on the stove. Oh, and I will need a smaller food processor, and perhaps some sort of container system so I can organize all my purees in the freezer, and ..... Sounds like a shopping trip to me :) SHHHHH, don't tell my husband.

You are too funny. I refuse to buy this book because although I do like Jerry, I also don't like his wife. And I think they already have enough money!! And yes, she is so not the first one to "discover" hiding veggies in food. I've seen it before too.
haha more shopping for sure! sounds like a cool book. you didn't talk about your zoo trip though! :)
I want to buy that book, but amazon.com is out of it as well!! I should have picked it up when I heard about it first even before Oprah!
Let me know how the other book worked for you!
It's me again :)
I was shopping for my copy, when I "accidently" clicked on send one to Jes. :) It will not ship until like the end of the month.
So don't buy it :)
