The Sneaky Chef says, " Shhh... serve veggies tonight- without a fight!"

Author Missy Chase Lapine fought her daughters on the daily struggle to eat something healthy. Kids will often decide they don't like a vegetable without even tasting it! Just the look of a green pea makes them squirm. So, Missy got creative and The Sneaky Chef was born. The trick is hiding the food your kids should eat into what your kids will eat. Imagine being able to eat a complete meal in peace, all the while your children have been gobbling up loads of nutrients!

The Sneaky Chef is saving dinnertime everywhere!

Sample Recipe from www.thesneakychef.com:

Mac and Cheese

SNEAKY TIP: Yellow macaroni and cheese usually contains yellow food dye, whereas the white version does not. If your child insists on yellow, you can add a slice of yellow American or cheddar cheese and a dash of paprika to the white cheese sauce, which will help safely change the color to yellow without affecting the taste.

Each of the nutritional boosters listed here have been kid tested and have proven to be undetectable in taste, texture and color. Start by adding the least amount recommended of just one of the nutritional boosters listed below. Add a little more each time you serve this dish (which is served in our house every day!).

* 2 to 4 tablespoons White Puree (see Make-Ahead Recipe #4)

Prepare macaroni and cheese according to directions on package. Add White Puree into the cheese sauce, mixing until well blended. If sauce becomes too dry, simply add an extra tablespoon of milk and extra cheese (See below).

* 2 to 4 tablespoons Orange Puree (See Make-Ahead Recipe #2)

Prepare macaroni and cheese according to directions on package. Add Orange Puree into the cheese sauce, mixing until well blended. This one works best with an extra slice of American cheese or 1/4 cup of grated cheddar melted into the sauce to help mask the carrots, which have a bit more distinguishable taste, in the puree.
