We are trying something new (again!) and it involves pulling out the ol' food processor, which last made an appearance during homemade baby food days. Our little boy has become a picky eater and the whole "you'll go to bed hungry" routine is lost on our almost 2-year-old, so we have turned to sneaky measures for our growing lad to eat his recommended amounts of veggies. J-bomb willing scarfs down most fruits, grains, and proteins....and desserts, obviously! You don't reach the 95% percentile for weight without enjoying a chocolate chip cookie or two every now and again :)
We've turned to an innovative concept: hiding the veggies in some of Jack's favorite foods! Tonight was the beginning with round one including Banana Bread with banana puree (surprise!) and cauliflower puree and for tomorrow's breakfast: scrambled eggs with parmesan cheese and cauliflower puree! I just tasted the banana bread and it's delish!!!
Mills' Variation on the Deceptively Delicious' recipes: we'll serve all the dishes with a side of the veggies au naturel. We want Jack to continue to SEE veggies and encourage him to TRY the veggies. At least now when he says "no" (and sometimes throws the veggies on the floor) we can smile instead of sigh.
Enjoy that spinach brownie little man. Enjoy!
Let the deceiving begin :)

So, how is this going now? I got all into it last year when I got the book for Christmas, but no one (meaning both my boys) like anything. Reagan doesn't even eat regular food, so it's hard to sneak stuff into his steady diet of cheese and crackers! Maybe I'll use my steam, puree and freeze knowledge for homemade baby food?
