Hi Missy,
 
I am using your recipes for most of my cooking these days and I was
wondering if you had considered creating a computer program that could
do meal planning using your recipes? Something where one could pick
from your recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks and then it
would show/include nutritional info in an effort to create a
nutritionally balanced day, week, or month of meals. It could also
create shopping lists based on the planned week or month. Probably
even do more than I have thought of. Just an idea...?
 
Thanks for all the great recipes. I'm having fun trying them out and
discovering what my family likes.

Hi Marnie,

Thanks for taking the time to write.  Glad my recipes have become a part of your family's everyday life.  Great news!  My new book includes a meal planner and full nutritional analysis for every recipe! 
 
This should help (sorry it’s not a computer program just yet!)
 
All my best,
Missy

Some of you have noticed that I've started to add nutritional analysis to the free recipes offered on my website, prompted by your requests.  While I intentionally designed all of my recipes to be lower in calories and fat and high in fiber, I was also concerned with slipping in the superfoods that can change our health for the better. It wasn't until I saw the numbers myself  that I realized the final Sneaky Chef recipes often have only a fraction of the calories and fat of their traditional counterparts, and usually many times the fiber. It's no wonder my husband is losing weight and his cholesterol is down!

One group of firemen I interviewed for the Sneaky Chef Men's Book told me that it would be one thing to hide what they called "super veggies" in their favorite foods, but that it would be quite another to have their favorite comfort foods remade to be lower in calories and fat. They didn't believe I could do it while still having their favorite meals turn out tasting as good as the original. That was what they wanted: to have it taste like the original, but be healthy.

So the challenge was laid out before me. I'd been able to do it with kid's meals, but these were grown men. They were ready to detect  anything even slightly different, and I took this as a challenge.
Their desires resulted in sneakily enhanced versions of many of their favorites, including Boosted Buffalo Wings, Major Leek Soup, Hobo Hash and Stacked Pancakes (click here to go to The Sneaky Chef: How to Cheat on Your Man in the Kitchen).

I say, if you can make it taste just as good, why not make every recipe as healthy as it can be? If you'd like to see your favorite fattening recipe remade The Sneaky Chef way and made way healthier, please send it to me in this blog or to my email at Missy@TheSneakyChef.com.  I'll work on as many recipes as I can, and post the results and the before and after nutritional comparisons on this site.

Thanks for all your great comments and support!

With healthiest regards,
