Deceptively Disgusting

One of the top selling and most talked about books in Mom circles these days is Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld. This is the cookbook that shows you how to sneak pureed veggies into kid-friendly foods. Aside from the kid-themed subject, the book also has a pseudo-celebrity author and its very own controversy-- everything you need to get a certain breed of message board mom all riled up.

Since Baby M is still months away from eating solids I haven't really paid much attention to the book, but today at a MOMS Club event the host brought out some banana bread and proudly exclaimed that it had cauliflower hidden in it. The bread looked fine, smelled good and at first bite seemed pretty tasty but a few moments later there was the most terrible aftertaste. I discreetly threw out the rest of my slice, and honestly I didn't notice too many of the kids digging the bread either. Maybe next time she wants to sneak some veggies into her baked goods should just make zucchini bread.
