I have been in a cooking rut - big time. But I'm slowly snapping out of it, and am very excited about all of the seasonal vegetables that are coming up! But I thought I'd share a few reviews of some of Jessica Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious recipes. If you aren't familiar with her book, they all call for veggie purees. And if you have leftover jars of baby food, there's no reason why you can't use these and save some time! There are a few others I want to try, but I thought I'd share these recipes!Quesadillas (with Butternut Squash & Navy Beans) - Everyone loved, kids and adults alike.
Chicken (or Turkey) Pot Pie (with Sweet Potato) - I was surprised with this one. I thought it would be gross, so I made a backup meal! But everyone raved, and Ethan asked if he could eat it every day! It's not every day that you get those kind of reviews. Plus, there is no "cream of..." soup in it!
Mozzarella Sticks (with Cauliflower) - Maybe I didn't do these right. Katie Belle liked them, but no one else did. I didn't quite "fry" the sticks right, so they weren't crunchy. Still, KB is hard to please, so that is worth something...
Italian Meatloaf (with Carrot) - Meh...I must first admit that I've made meatloaf probably one other time in my life, so maybe I don't have the technique quite right, but when I made this, the meatloaf all fell apart. I won't make it again.
Sloppy Joes (with Carrot, Squash, Red Pepper- Delicious! Of course the meatloaf was hard for my little ones to eat, so I probably won't make it again for a while. But we all loved the flavor.
Have any of you tried any of Jessica Seinfeld's recipes? WHat about any recipes from the Sneaky Chef?

one of my all time favorite cookbooks!
My favs are the applesauce/carrot puree muffins and the brownies with the carrot and spinach puree. Chill the brownies before serving, cut into small bites, top with powdered sugar and it takes like fudge!
