I'm very excited. Not that it takes much to excite me, but I have found a new way to sneak veggies into one of Karly's favorite foods! If you know me well you know I am a little neurotic about what goes into my child's belly; and if you have read my previous post you know that she is gluten free. Regardless of what anyone says or thinks about it (yes,I have heard everyone's opinions) my child's digestive system completely changed once we remove gluten from her diet. She is now a little poopin' monkey with NO belly pains! From day one I have made her own food, even opened a little side business making it for other friends & family, and teaching them how to do it. I love the recipe book "Deceptively Delicious"! I bought it when I was pregnant so I could learn all the tricks & if you have a veggie-challenged child (or husband;) I HIGHLY recommend it! It works like a charm, they are eating veggies that normally I would hear a million complaints about & they don't even know it! wwwaaahhhaaahaaaa! (that is my evil laugh!) From french toast to mac & cheese, they are deceived! So today Karly was begging for a grilled cheese, I pulled out her bread & started to make it when I realized I am out of butter! uh-oh! I started looking thru the fridge to see what I could use when it popped into my head- I have pureed carrots!! ( I always have veggie purred in my fridge to throw into something) So I "buttered" my bread with carrots & poof! It looked perfect, took no longer to make, texture was the same & in a matter of minutes Karly had devoured it! Marvelous- a very satisfied Mom, I am! We just took an otherwise not so healthy meal & made it a little more pleasing to a mom like myself. Just wanted to share my successful moment! I really love this book, it is not hard to get your kiddies eating healthy & I have not had anything that taste bad. Plus who doesn't have extra veggies that are sitting in your fridge waiting to spoil?! Blend um up & make something tasty! As you can tell, I get a thrill out of it, my little rebellious side comes out when I cook :) lol!
PS- she has a new recipe book coming out the end of Oct with new recipes-- can't wait!
