High Maintenance Mom

Last week to enter this spring's High Maintenance Mom and Running Press giveaway (you must log in to enter-see log in screen to right) a copy of Missy Chase Lapine's newest addition to her sneaky cookbook collection, The Sneaky Chef to the Rescue: 101 All-New Recipes and ""Sneaky"" Tricks for Creating Healthy Meals Kids Will Love. This is a follow up to her earlier New York Times bestselling book, The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals, and has new chapters including low calorie recipes, allergy free recipes, vegetarian options and holiday treats.....

The author has been a cooking instructor at New York's finest culinary schools and also serves on the Children's Advisory Council of Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York Presbyterian where her recipes are served to patients. My friend and I have been using the book for a few weeks now and have make recipes from most sections. I had great luck with the Retro Tuna Casserole and my friend with the Sweet n' Sassy Meatballs. The Low Sugar Chocolate Chip cookies were very good and hard to believe there where white beans in them. My daughter loved them and so did my husband. I am eager to try a few more recipes.

This is a great book for those who have trouble getting their kids to eat vegetables & fruits. The author seems to understand that parents don't stand around the kitchen all day and offers practical solutions to save time.
