Or I'll think it's yucky even if it's yummy. It's totally all in my head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-purees-in-adult-food-a-la-deceptively-delicious#post-834685 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 06:55:55 +0000 Weagle 834685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one of the cookbooks, but I've never used it. This is a good reminder to get it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-purees-in-adult-food-a-la-deceptively-delicious#post-834585 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 23:35:31 +0000 LovelyPlum 834585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of the book, but butternut squash macaroni and cheese is exceptional. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-purees-in-adult-food-a-la-deceptively-delicious#post-834547 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 22:34:01 +0000 lovehoneybee 834547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL gave me this book when I was pregnant but I don't think I've actually opened it yet! I do like making mac and cheese with a good amount of pureed butternut squash in it, and I'm sure there's something similar in there. I just like the way it tastes, and that it's a bit more nutritious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-purees-in-adult-food-a-la-deceptively-delicious#post-834544 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 22:29:26 +0000 singingbee 834544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have both cookbooks and I like them! I need to do a better job about cooking with them, but the short time I was gung-ho about it, they were delicious. DH doesn't eat a lot of vegetables, so that's why I tried it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cook-with-purees-in-adult-food-a-la-deceptively-delicious#post-834534 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 22:22:41 +0000 immabeetoo 834534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember reading about this book and the controversy around some similar book so I picked it up when I was at the library the other day. I figured since I was making puree/mashes for LO it was a good time to try it.. and so far I really like it! I'm trying to add more visible veggies to our meals but I'm happy to add some undetectable ones as well.</p> <p>So far I've done sloppy joes with sweet potato &amp; butternut squash puree, peanut butter fruit fondue with squash puree, and meatloaf with bean and carrot puree.</p> <p>Anyone else do this or read the book(s)? </p>
