There are a couple approaches made popular by The Sneaky Chef and Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld. Whichever you use their concepts are the same – adding vegetables to your Child’s diet. I’ve used (and my sister with my 3-year-old nephew) some recipes. After a while you begin to see the pattern. I’ll post some successful recipes later but for now here are some “patterns”.

1. With tomato sauce based recipes carrot purees are added. I think the acidity of tomatoes neutralizes the carrot taste. (Does that make sense?)

2. Cheese based recipes; Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Quesadillas, sweet potatoes or butternut squash purees are added.

3. With Tuna Sandwiches add Cauliflower puree.

4. The brownie recipe is complicated but I took from it adding Spinach puree. To my Ten Minute Microwave Brownies recipe I add spinach.

Now I experiment adding what to my recipes based on the taste of the vegetable and whether it will alter my recipe. Last night I made Chili and added carrot puree. Sometimes with pizza I add a layer of spinach puree before adding the tomato sauce on top. Just a little as I can sometimes taste it. I think I may try carrot puree next.

Baby J is still a baby so she eats well and hopefully will continue to But once she starts balking at veggies I’ll use some of these ideas/recipes and if she says she likes what she is eating, I will tell her what is in them

Hope this helps.
