Results tagged “brownies” from The Sneaky Chef

Just had to tell you that I've used your brownie recipes
(both doctoring the boxed mix, and from scratch) for my college
daughter's care packages, and they've been devoured by her and her
friends, who she loved telling, after they ate them, about the hidden
ingredients.  Same thing with my 10th grader and 5th grader and their
friends!  I've made the brownies for their sports teams, college and
high school,  to eat before the game on a long bus-ride to an away
game, or after the game.  I've also devised  variations of an "Amish
Friendship Bread" recipe to include the purple  and white purees, and
your flour mix, and can't keep anyone away from them!  My picky
11-year old son never ate a green vegetable in his post-baby food life
until he ate your brownies!  Thank you so much!  Being from Maryland,
crab cakes are our favorite dish, and I just found your recipe, can\'t
wait to try it as I just bought fresh crab meat!  I THANK YOU for
posting that recipe, I\'m sure it will be a hit.  I may just have to
bring that up to the next college lacrosse game tailgate....
Thanks again!

Dear Mara,

Let's face it, finding good recipes and sharing them is one of Life's pleasures! I'm so happy that sneak-enhanced brownies are spreading far and wide from your home base.

I'd love for you to share your Amish Bread recipe when we get a page up in the near future for the purpose of readers sharing and swapping their own sneaky creations.

You've won the Supportive Mom award! All the best to you and your athletes,

Missy

Dear Missy,

I want to thank you so much for your wonderful solutions.  I have a 6 year old who is the consumate refuser...  Of late, he's been subsisting on frozen waffles, cereal bars, rice, and the occasional apple.  So, I was thrilled when I found your cook book.  I made the Brainy Brownies last night after dinner.  My son danced and laughed at the same time telling me how delicious they were.  Since I work at a small school, he wanted me to take them to school for the principal and other teachers.  This morning he even made me pinkie promise to make them again for him.  I am shocked and so happy that he loves it so much and has no idea there is healthy things inside.  Even my oldest son loves them.  And, all the teachers absolutely loved them.  Many were going to our Book Fair today to get their own copy.  So, thanks again.  You have saved me from going crazy and loosing my "Mom Badge" because I'm not feeding enough veggies.

Best wishes from Baton Rouge, La.

Dear Rayma,

I am so glad that your Refuser has been Defused ; )  And a pinky promise at that!  What a wonderful story. Thank you so much for sending it. It made my day : )

Can't wait to hear your next success story!

With healthiest regards,

Missy

Missy-- I just made my first sneaky recipe (the brainy
brownies) and so far, they smell great (and the batter tasted pretty
good, too!) I can't wait for my husband and toddler to taste them!
My question is: Can I use whole wheat flour instead of the mix of
whole and white?: What about natural sugar cane instead of the white
sugar? WHERE O WHERE can I find a few nutritional information about
the recipes?
Tomorrow I am going to try the mac & Cheese! Thank you for this great
cooking experiment I will have this summer!
