Dear Missy,

I have a 17month old who can sometimes be picky and am a
single mom who is trying hard to find new things but running out of
quick and easy meals that she is interested in.

Dear Brenda,

You've certainly come to the right place!  ; )  

Not only do I make each and every Sneaky Chef recipe quick and easy, I make it economical, and all of the ingredients can usually be found at your favorite supermarket.  My new book has 101 all new recipes, in addition to the 100 or so in the first book and about another 100 in the "men's" book. That should give you options for a while! (The men's recipes were designed to also work great for kids by simply leaving out, or reducing, the spices).

Enjoy in good health : )

Hi Missy,
 
First I just want to thank you for helping me to get my 23 month old toddler to eat some vegetables.  I've used your advice and techniques to put the puree's into my own recipes.  My daughter won't eat much...VERY picky.  She will eat the meatloaf and twice baked potatoes from your book though.  I still have not been able to get her to eat any chicken however.
 
My friends and husband think I'm nuts for making all these puree's and some juices, packaging them in 1/4 portions and freezing them.  It's worked out great.  There is no greater feeling then knowing I'm taking care of my family...whether they know it or not!  (-:  My husband has asked that I not tell him anymore when he has had green puree and wheat germ in his food.  LOL!
 
Thanks again!

Dear Valerie,

Your letter made my day!

Over and over I get the same feedback: "This really works!" That, to me, is the beauty of being a sneaky chef. Your family is really eating vegetables, and your health will only benefit from that.

I'm going to have an extra big grin on my face, thinking of your daughter eating super foods. And please tell your husband he gets a gold star for supporting your sneaky streak!

With healthiest regards,

Missy

Dear Sneaky Chef
Every Morning as I am mixing my 4 1/2 year old son's "Milk Shake" I think about you and send you a huge Thank You! My son is a very picky eater!! He hates protein in all forms! He Loved your chocolate chip cookies (with white beans) so based on your White Bean Puree  and other recipes I have created my own form of a Breakfast Milk Shake:

He has a dairy problem so we use Rice Ice Cream , 1/4 cup pureed bean mixture , 1/4 cup spinach juice, frozen blueberries, and either orange puree (1/4 cup or I juice 2 carrots- That combined with some rice / or Almond Milk some really good quality Cocoa, a drizzle of a no preservative Chocolate Syrup and some vanilla all blended together makes a wonderful tasting Chocolate Milksahake- (sometimes we even add avacado) I make some taste tests-
sometimes I add more cocoa for a more chocolate taste and sometimes a little agave if I think it needs to be a little sweeter.

I know I have you to thank! That is the most nutrient dense meal he has all day! BUT HE DRINKS 90- 95% of it so I figure we are doing pretty well- I am sure you will see all of your various ingredient combo"s and recipes I pulled from to create this–I cannot stress enough how important this is because my son is a very high functioning Aspergers Child- As I am sure you know Nutrition is one of the many important aspects of helping him.

So Thank You!! I share my shake recipe with many parents combined with the statement that they "Must get the  Sneaky Chef Books for more great ideas!!" By the way I just ordered Your Book #3 from Amazon and am very excited to get it! Thank You Again! We really Love Your Books!!! Melissa

Dear Melissa,

You are really doing fantastic with this : ) I love to hear success stories like this. I can't tell you how rewarding it is to me hear that things are working out so well nutritionally for your child : )  Real nutrition can help with so much.

Keep up the great work, and enjoy in good health,

With fondest regards,

Missy
