deceptively delicious

i am becoming a fan of jessica seinfeld's cookbook "deceptively delicious." she has found some great ways to "hide" vegetables in food. so far we have liked the chocolate chip cookies made with an entire can of chick peas. the carrot pancakes were delicious (scott had three stacks!). the personal pizzas with whole wheat crust and a layer of spinach puree were a hit. kate couldn't get enough of the "buttered noodles" made with yellow squash puree. the brownies, made with a considerable amount of carrots and spinach left something to be desired, but they are actually good for you, so defintiely worth trying...i love that she has recipes for foods that kids (and husbands) are actually interested in eating. if you have passed by the cookbook in the bookstore, or better yet, at costco (i found mine at tj maxx for $5) and wondered about getting it, i say, go for it!
