![]() Not bad if you only have to do it once a week… I was able to make enough purees for a week’s worth of dinners (with extras that I froze) & clean-up during Sophie’s afternoon 1 & 1/2 hr nap. Of course using pre-chopped frozen vegetable makes it even faster. (extras can go right in the freezer) I gotta say, making the purees was a lot easier than I thought. I also used her tip of keeping all the baggies in a tupperware for organized easy access. Most of her recipes call for a 1/2 cu puree so that’s how I divided up the purees. (There’s also a handy little nutrition guide for what’s in each fruit/vegetable) I chose to do frozen cauliflower & butternut squash along with fresh baby spinach & sweet potatoes… Jessica has really nice, detailed instructions for how to puree each fruit or veggie. For me, getting my girls their weekly servings of veggies without a battle sounded totally worth giving this a try. The premise of the book is that once a week you take an hour in your kitchen to puree a variety of vegetables so you can sneak them into your kid’s favorite food’s throughout the week. TMI! I know! I know! But I want you to understand why it was worth it to me to take the time to make these crazy recipes…I had to get some vegetables into my daughter asap. Which is why not only is she constipated but her poop is yellow as well. My former “good eater” has given up her title & given in to the typical picky toddler diet of chicken nuggets, french fries, macaroni & cheese, grilled cheese & pizza. ![]() TMI, I know, but I need to get across the severity of the situation. Up until this week, when Sam couldn’t poop. Well, in my laundry room this book has sat on a shelf for 3+ years collecting dust. The artwork was super cute & the food sounded really good I guess. Remember when Jessica Seinfeld went on Oprah with her super cute cookbook about how to sneak vegetables into your kid’s diet by using purees? For some reason I actually bought it even though I didn’t have kids yet.
