    About this ebook

    It has become common knowledge that childhood obesity rates are increasing every year. But the rates continue to rise. And between busy work schedules and the inconvenient truth that kids simply refuse to eat vegetables and other healthy foods, how can average parents ensure their kids are getting the proper nutrition and avoiding bad eating habits?

    As a mother of three, Jessica Seinfeld can speak for all parents who struggle to feed their kids right and deal nightly with dinnertime fiascos. As she wages a personal war against sugars, packaged foods, and other nutritional saboteurs, she offers appetizing alternatives for parents who find themselves succumbing to the fastest and easiest (and least healthy) choices available to them. Her modus operandi? Her book is filled with traditional recipes that kids love, except they're stealthily packed with veggies hidden in them so kids don't even know! With the help of a nutritionist and a professional chef, Seinfeld has developed a month's worth of meals for kids of all ages that includes, for example, pureed cauliflower in mac and cheese, and kale in spaghetti and meatballs. She also provides revealing and humorous personal anecdotes, tear–out shopping guides to help parents zoom through the supermarket, and tips on how to deal with the kid that "must have" the latest sugar bomb cereal.

    But this book also contains much more than recipes and tips. By solving problems on a practical level for parents, Seinfeld addresses the big picture issues that surround childhood obesity and its long–term (and ruinous) effects on the body. With the help of a prominent nutritionist, her book provides parents with an arsenal of information related to kids' nutrition so parents understand why it's important to throw in a little avocado puree into their quesadillas. She discusses the critical importance of portion size, and the specific elements kids simply must have (as opposed to adults) in order to flourish now and in the future: protein, calcium, vitamins, and Omega 3 and 6 fats.

    Jessica Seinfeld's book is practical, easy–to–read, and a godsend for any parent that wants their kids to be healthy for a long time to come.

      I was hoping I could use some of these recipes to trick my fiance into eating healthier, but I don't know if adding purees to everything is the way.

      Also, I know it may be difficult to be get your kids to eat fruits and vegetables and many parents feel like they need to resort to "tricking" their kids, I think it is also important to teach one's kids to MAKE the right choices for themselves. In today's society, eating healthy is a decision and a choice, albeit not an easy one when there is temptation everywhere.

      Easy recipes incorporating pureed vegetables into food for every meal. Designed for parents to fool their children, it works for anyone trying to add more fruits and vegetables into their diet.

      Yesterday I checked this book out at the library and today I bought one for myself at Seagull Book. It's a smart book to have, full of tips and some serious concocting. This author is serious about her stuff, presented with vintage charm and a Mother-Knows-What's-Good-For-You strength.To be appreciated also are Vitamins and Minerals tables geared specifically for children. I love the idea of fortifying fun foods with extra nutrition from vegetable purees. It's my husband who won't eat vegies if they aren't peas or carrots. I am looking forward to sneaking in some vitamins from other sources to him, because he needs them too. Ah-ha, what a fun secret I'm going to have.

      I get the concept but there is way too much preparation involved in hiding healthy stuff in your kids food. You're supposed to spend your evening cooking and pureeing foods to freeze and thaw later to prepare. why not just cook good food and let them take it or leave it? They'll learn

      A reasonable good book with a little bit that I don't agree with (points of nutrition) but otherwise it had decent recipes. I've made mostly just the muffins and the kids have loved all of them, especially the peanutbutter banana ones. They also liked the tofu nugges, their intro to tofu. This was an impulse buy. I don't have to hide my kids veggies. They've never had a problem eating them. There were inovative ideas though and some I'm thinking of trying such as avocado in chocolate pudding. Interesting.
