Product Description

Parents will do almost anything to get their kids to eat healthier, but unfortunately, they’ve found that begging, pleading, threatening, and bribing don’t work. With their patience wearing thin, parents will “give in” for the sake of family peace, and reach for “kiddie” favorites-often nutritionally inferior choices such as fried fish sticks, mac n’ cheese, Pop-sicles, and cookies. Missy Chase Lapine, former publisher of Eating Well magazine, faced the same challenges with her two young daughters, and she sought a solution. Now in The Sneaky Chef, Lapine presents over 75 recipes that ingeniously disguise the most important superfoods inside kids’ favorite meals. With the addition of a few simple make-ahead purees or clever replacements, (some may surprise you!) parents can pack more fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants in their kids’ foods. Examples of “Sneaky” recipes include: No Harm Chicken Parm Power Pizza Incognito Burritos Guerilla Grilled Cheese Brainy Brownies Health-by-Chocolate Cookies Quick fixes for Jell-O(R)

Review
Natalie Morales, Today Show Host
"Moms and dads if you're at your wit's end trying to get your kids to eat healthy... well, fret no more! Finally, it's "The Sneaky Chef to the Rescue." As the mother of a very picky eater, the only way to get my son Josh to eat his veggies is to sneak it, and Missy's recipes are not only creative and delicious, they are a lifesaver for this often over-worried mom."

Nancy Samalin, best-selling author of LOVING WITHOUT SPOILING
"The Sneaky Chef offers frustrated parents a simple, practical solution to getting their kids to eat healthier food."

Sneaky is right5
This is one of my favorite cook books. I bought this book about a year ago. I have a 10 year old, a 3 year old and a very picky husband.

This book has more than just recipes. It is filled with nutritional information about the purees you are sneaking into the recipes. It also has a "must have in your pantry" list, which are items that are now a must have in my home. There is also a section that talks about how to sneak the purees into your own recipes. Very helpful I must say.

The first thing I made was the brownies. My husband and 10 year old liked them but asked me what I had done different, texture wise. My 3 year old had no clue they were different. I even gave some to my father in law who called me later when he found out that they had spinach and blueberries in them and told me that it wasn't right to be able to sneak that kind of stuff in there and him not know.

I have made several other items in this book that have gone over very very well. The favorite has got to be the chicken on a stick. They are not only yummy they are on a stick which makes it cool for the kids.

Today I purchased The Sneaky Chef: How to Cheat on your husband Cook Book. I can't wait to get it.
