I made a decent dent in it, more than half of the recipes, and I kept making recipes from it this year. There are just a few I haven&#8217;t gotten to yet. It&#8217;s a fun book full of sneaky ways to add vegetable purees into everyday recipes, focused on getting your kids to eat them but it works just as well with husband and yourself! I&#8217;m not big on a lot of the healthiest veggies so I love to add them in to recipes! I know they&#8217;re there and I&#8217;m getting the benefits of them without sitting down to a plate of spinach, you know?<\/p>\n<p>Here are four of the recipes I made a while ago, but just posted. All of them were simple and tasted great!<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" width=\"100%\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"ad\" width=\"150px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/?page=healthy-deceptively-delicious-quesadillas\"><img src=\"\/images\/v2\/healthy\/dd-quesadillas\/dd-quesadillas-thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Deceptively Delicious - Quesadillas\" title=\"Deceptively Delicious - Quesadillas\"><\/a>\n\t\t<\/td>\n<td class=\"content\">\n\t\t<img src=\"\/images\/v2\/healthy\/dd-quesadillas\/dd-quesadillas-title.jpg\" alt=\"Deceptively Delicious - Quesadillas\" title=\"Deceptively Delicious - Quesadillas\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t There have been a lot of serious winners from his book in our house and a few not so well received dishes. This one though has become our oldest little one&#8217;s favorite snack. He asks fot it several times a week. Just before we moved to LA, I made this for him and a three of his friends and they inhaled it. For the record, none of those kids would ever eat squash or navy beans or even sour cream!

Otherwise, noooo thank you. This sauce though? Not bad at all. I honestly didn&#8217;t mind it at all and I think it was the addition of the sweet potato puree that made it better.

No one had any idea there was zucchini in them until I told them. You could add wheat bran or ground flax to these to really up the fiber without changing the taste!
