I got this book for Christmas from Val and couldn't wait to trick my vegetable-fearing family.
I bought these, for the first time ever!
I opened this, for the first time ever (been in the box for 5 years now).
She kept busy and left me alone for the first time ever.
And I made disgusting pureed foods for the first time ever (if you've ever worked in a nursing home and fed people a 'mechanical soft' diet you understand my repulsion). And now I get to plot how to sneak them into my families food. So far unless I can coat candy with pureed broccoli/carrots/spinach/or cauliflower, I'm outta luck. But I will not quit, especially since I have 4 gallons of this mush to use up.

You are becoming your mother. I am positive she tried some sort of pureed veggie trick on you and Kip in hopes you wouldn't know you were eating your vegetables! :)
wow I'm proud of you. P doesn't know I used to make her baby food including kidneys and liver (gak). Good luck on your campaign. Maybe you can get a dehydrator, put the mush in it, and convince Hads it's Lik m Aid...
hooray you are back...I knew there was going to be the mile long blog though - you know how I am about that!! Why would one puree cauliflower, it is good in its just steamed form. I am going to be super careful next time a grab a cookie at your house - does NOT look appetizing.
I cook from that cookbook all the time!! Try the sweet potatoe pancakes - they are the best!! The beet chocolate cake is good too. Not the spinach brownies though. Have fun!
WOW! For a second there I thought Kirsten was Koo Koo - and I thought she had become possessed by the vegie spirits - Whew!
I did too, but then came to my senses and realized this could not possibly be OUR Kirsten!
You made me eat kidney and liver as a baby! No wonder I turned out to be a picky eater. My subconscious clearly knew you couldn't be trusted!
Keep on trying! They'll love it sooner or later. Just watch out for those sneaky tesxtures.
Oh Pia - meat botsies were a favorite fix by all of us new mothers - how else could we get you to ingest that crap???
gak, I do remember meat bottsies. I too was thinking "how in the hell is that Kirdie, I don't even know her!!" thanks goodness the "faker" has been identified.
i was so impressed to see your freezer filled with all this natural goodness. even more impressed to see your cuisenart finally getting used.. however u spell it:)
I love this meg! Only because after living with your for a year I thought you'd never eat anything other than you know...pretzles and catchup. I love you for this...you have inspired me to try this myself!
Too funny since you were plotting this in Utah as well! Apparently, you need to "re-plot" and create Plan B. I do still want to buy this book!!
