Shhh! Don't tell...oh, wait. Nevermind.

My sister loaned me one of her cookbooks. It's the Jessica Seinfeld one about sneaking in fruits and vegetables into your kids favorite foods. It is a great idea and I got a little gun-ho about trying out the concept. Especially since some of my little tigers are developing, let's call them, "opinions" at meal time.

I had a giant 5lb bag of carrots freshly purchased yesterday just waiting to be pureed and hidden in their favorite lunch, a cheese and black bean quesadilla. So I peeled, cut, and steamed a bunch of carrots. I decided to only puree half of them.

As I was pureeing, I remembered something. Uh, my kids like carrots. We eat them, like, all the time. (Hence the 5lb bag in the fridge.) I didn't need to disguise them in anything! So I chopped up the remainder of the un-pureed, orange root and gave it to them with lunch. They happily gobbled everything up.

I still have a Tupperware full of orange mush. Hmm. Maybe we'll have orange eggs for breakfast tomorrow.
