And while I think it is important for adults to learn and try new foods and learn to find fruits and vegetables that they can love. I realize as a parent that it is very difficult to get a child to sometimes eat vegetables. And when they do, it is hard for them to learn to like the healthy ones.

So when I saw this cookbook, I thought it was worth a try. And it is actually very cool. The idea is to make puree from vegetables and fruit and then you use them in the recipe so it is never actually something that is obviously in there. For example, there is chocolate pudding with avocado puree — don’t freak out — it is actually MIND BLOWING good pudding. Now remember, kids can’t live on chocolate pudding and macaroni, even with some puree.

So give it a try, there are some great recipes in her for kid friendly food — they take a bit longer but I totally think it is worth it – I mean it isn’t even $20 !!
