Description
It has become common knowledge that infanthood obesity rates are increasing every year. But the rates continue to rise. And between busy work schedules and the inconvenient truth that kids simply refuse to eat vegetables and other healthy foods, how can average parents ensure their kids are getting the proper nutrition and avoiding bad eating habits? As a mother of three, Jessica Seinfeld can speak for all parents who struggle to feed their kids right and deal nightly with dinnertime fiascos. As she wages a personal war against sugars, packaged foods, and other nutritional saboteurs, she offers appetizing alternatives for parents who find themselves succumbing to the fastest and easiest (and least healthy) choices available to them. Her modus operandi? Her book is filled with traditional recipes that kids love, except they're stealthily packed with veggies hidden in them so kids don't even know! With the help of a nutritionist and a professional chef, Seinfeld has developed a month's worth of meals for kids of all ages that includes, for example, pureed cauliflower in mac and cheese, and kale in spaghetti and meatballs. She also provides revealing and humorous personal anecdotes, tear–out shopping guides to help parents zoom through the supermarket, and tips on how to deal with the kid that "must have" the latest sugar bomb cereal. But this book also contains much more than recipes and tips. By solving problems on a practical level for parents, Seinfeld addresses the big picture issues that surround infanthood obesity and its long–term (and ruinous) effects on the body. With the help of a prominent nutritionist, her book provides parents with an arsenal of information related to kids' nutrition so parents understand why it's important to throw in a little avocado puree into their quesadillas. She discusses the critical importance of portion size, and the specific elements kids simply must have (as opposed to adults) in order to flourish now and in the future: protein, calcium, vitamins, and Omega 3 and 6 fats. Jessica Seinfeld's book is practical, easy–to–read, and a godsend for any parent that wants their kids to be healthy for a long time to come.

Not wokring for us
I am not much of a cook so I though it would be somewhat easy since its for your kids. I have just given up. I tried 5 receipes. I found that either I messed somthing up or they just did not taste well. Many of the receipe are not really for infantren - my kids like the simple no mixing of foods types. After the 100.00 trip to the store -- I thought.. My infant will eat most fruits and veggies with out the deception so I am just sticking to the RAW way.

Deceptively Frustrating!!!
These recipes take a long time to prepare, they don't turn out like they're supposed to, and my kids STILL won't eat dinner! The amount of vegetables involved doesn't even come close a full serving, so don't think you're solving your "healthy eating" dilemma. Although the idea of sneaking vegetables into your cooking is great, these recipes are not.

SNEAKING IN THE GOOD STUFF
Deceptively Delicious, was properly titled, we tried out the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe that included the chick peas, my 16 year old couldn't get enough. In fact all of my co-workers want the recipe. I baked them for the Company Christmas Pary. Thanks for such great ideas on how to feed the kids well without them ever knowing.
