Product Description Parents will do almost anything to get their kids to eat healthier, but unfortunately, they’ve found that begging, pleading, threatening, and bribing don’t work. With their patience wearing thin, parents will “give in” for the sake of family peace, and reach for “kiddie” favorites-often nutritionally inferior choices such as fried fish sticks, mac n’ cheese, Pop-sicles, and cookies. Missy Chase Lapine, former publisher of Eating Well magazine, faced the same challenges with her two young daughters, and she sought a solution. Now in The Sneaky Chef, Lapine presents over 75 recipes that ingeniously disguise the most important superfoods inside kids’ favorite meals. With the addition of a few simple make-ahead purees or clever replacements, (some may surprise you!) parents can pack more fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants in their kids’ foods. Examples of “Sneaky” recipes include: No Harm Chicken Parm Power Pizza Incognito Burritos Guerilla Grilled Cheese Brainy Brownies Health-by-Chocolate Cookies Quick fixes for Jell-O(R) |
Customers Reviews  2008-09-30 Great Recipes The recipes in this book are quick and easy. The grandkids loved the french toast, chocolate chip pancakes and mac and cheese. They had no idea that these things actually contained ingredients that were healthy! |  2008-09-30 Problem Eater??? This helps; but... must buy buy buy This is a great book for picky kids. My daughter would only eat bland colored foods and NO VEGGIES!! This book is great for hiding like colored veggies and/or picky eater foods, but you have to buy other ingredients not normally purchased (at least for us). Other than that, it works!! Be sure if your child has texture issues and is very sensitive, to watch what veggies and/or picky eater foods you choose to "hide" in your dish. |  2008-09-10 Magical Recipes for Tricking Toddlers! My toddler daughter is finicky. She loves eggs, cereals, ground beef, milk, pasta, cheese, applesauce, she has a sweet tooth and is in good shape. However if you come near her with a piece of produce she will scream. If she finds corn and peas mixed in a meal she will spit them out like bullets.
This book solves the problems. The purees for "mix ins" and recipes from scratch are great. I made mini Peanut Butter and Jelly muffins which contain sweet potatoes and carrots. She kept coming back for more. I made Health By Chocolate Chip Cookies with spinach and blueberries. My daughter kept asking for more "cake". I even tried the Magic Meatballs with spinach and broccoli and made them nice and crusty (the best way) in olive oil on the stove. She wasn't particularly hungry but the adults in our house have enjoyed all 3 courses without any hint of veggies.
Prep the purees and flour in advance, keep it in the fridge and meals are tasty, quick and easy!
|  2008-09-08 Excellent! Great Recipes and my kids love them. Although I am not so sneaky. They cook along side me and I use the time in the kitchen for some quality time with the kids. So they know what is going into there food, and have a healthy appreciation for all sorts of different food. =) |  2008-08-25 the make-ahead recipes This book is simple, practical and contains great ideas, but I personally don't like the constant need for the "make-ahead recipes" (mostly purees and juices). If you have the time and freezer space to prepare and store 13 varieties of prepared half-meals, fabulous! But if you are looking for recipes that ask for ingredients you always have in your pantry or fridge, this book is not for you. |

Find Out About The Dangers Associated With Dieting Dieting should have sensible basis otherwise it may do nothing but undermine and ruin your health. There are some dangers associated with dieting.
Danger 1 - on my own
The habit always to rely upon oneself is not the appropriate tactics in dieting. Fattiness like any other diseases should be treated under the strict doctor’s control. Every one is unique and needs certain and specific approach. Someone may be stout but have a good health someone may have few “extra kilos” which will intermix with serious diseases. So you should be completely aware of your current state. Work, life style, surroundings, living conditions and even climate should be taken in account when choosing a diet.
Danger 2 - on the buckwheat
There are several dieting myths: you should eat meat, you should eat once or twice a day, it’s useful to eat only buckwheat or apple pines for example. Each product is wholesome for sure but only in the combination with other useful products. And if you decided to keep to a “one-side” diet you merely deprive yourself of necessary and vital elements.
The greatest problems may cause incredible protein decrease, especially animal protein which can not be substituted by soy or legumes protein. Animal protein is the base for ferments and hormones production. In case you reduce protein consumption the reproductive function gets worse and the blood formula changes.
Another danger is the lack of calcium which we usually get of the diary products. This element is absolutely necessary especially for the young organism which bones are still in the process of formation.
The variety of food is the main point of the right diet. Remember you may eat everything but with the sense of measure. Fish, vegetables and fruits are irreplaceable products and should “find place” in your diet however.
Danger 3 – only diet
If you really want to loose weight and not to regain it you’d better thing about dieting and physical loading as separate things but work out the plan of healthy life style. It may include the food we eat, the way we spend our free time, sleep and whatever. The main tendency today is square meals and minimum of physical exercise. The quantity of energy we receive should not exceed the quantity we consume.
The simplest recommendations are to eat divisionally – every 3 or 4 hours in little quantities, not to eat before going to bed.
Danger 4- food is my best friend
The other stumbling block is to compensate stress depression by eating sweets and chocolates. Some times in such situations a person may eat even when he is not hungry.
Remember everything is in your own hands. |
