I’ll confess that I’m one of those parents whose kids actually LIKE fruits and vegetables. While I still have to issue reminders, at least the offerings are consumed with little protest. Of course, given the opportunity, they’d choose potato chips over peas every time, but let’s be honest - wouldn’t we all?
Judging by the number of parent bloggers who were thrilled to participate in this campaign, many parents struggle with getting their kids to eat fruits and vegetables, especially vegetables. We want to help our kids establish healthy eating habits, but mealtime battles can grow exhausting. It’s no wonder that we’re on the lookout for options - even those of us whose kids are usually good eaters.
Enter Deceptively Delicious, a new cookbook with fantastic variations on the classic theme of hiding healthy ingredients in tried-and-true favorites. Going beyond the usual - and usually unsuccessful - tricks, Deceptively Delicious integrates the teaching of healthy habits with foods that kids will happily consume. More than just recipes, the book includes a step-by-step process for getting your kitchen - and yourself - organized, plus professional insight from nutritionist Joy Bauer. There’s plenty to be learned where it comes to feeding our families - including the adult members - and Deceptively Delicious is the perfect place to start.
And I’ll admit, it feels good to know that even the rich and famous (yes, the book is written by Jessica Seinfeld, wife of comedian Jerry Seinfeld) share some of the same struggles that the rest of us do. Parenthood goes a long way toward leveling the playing field, doesn’t it?
