Results tagged “puree” from The Sneaky Chef

Hi Missy,

I have been using your cookbooks off and on for a month now and am loving the results. I have been able to get everyone to eat beans and zucchini. Things they would never eat before.

I have even been sneaking in additional purees into the foods that they are eating. Into mac and cheese I put about an 1/8 cup of either chickpea or white bean puree. They all love it and don't know it's there. In your chili recipe i put double the beans and the oats. No one was the wiser and they ate all of it. 

Thank you very much for allowing me to better the health of my family without them knowing. – Angela 

Dear Angela,

Letters like yours make me all the more passionate and committed to getting Sneaky Chef fare on every table in America! I love how you're adding even more "sneaky" to my recipes. 

Be sure to check out my website, TheSneakyChef.com, to read what I've been up to lately. And keep up the good work! Your family is lucky to have you!

Keep up the great work : )

With healthiest regards,

Missy

Hi Missy,

I am having so much fun with your book!  I\'ve never been much of a cook, but I am really doing well, and it\'s healthy!

I have been using the carrot and sweet potato baby food instead of attempting the actual puree (I\'m new- baby steps!) but I was wondering if it\'s less healthy than making the puree or about the same? Thank you, this has been a life saver for getting my boys (husband and son) to eat better!

Dear Jillian, 

Baby food is a good quick substitute when you're short on time or ingredients, but making the purees from scratch is always preferred nutritionally.It really doesn't take much time and it is so worthwhile. Give it a try : )

Keep up the great work!

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
