How to be a "sneaky chef"

In my house I have a few eaters that are kind of picky and I've wanted to get us eating more healthy and it's been hard.  My two year old won't eat a whole list of things: pasta, rice, potatoes, beans, cooked veggies (except corn and sometimes broccoli), fresh veggies, cottage cheese, and so on.  You may be wondering what she does like after seeing that list.  Well she likes peanut butter and honey sandwiches, anything breakfast related (unless I try to put chopped veggies in the eggs), fresh fruit and smooties.  My husband doesn't eat as many veggies as he should and doesn't like whole grain.  So I've been trying out recipes that incorporate some of the more healthy items and it hasn't been working.  Then I was searching Amazon.com for cookbooks (last time I got 3 cookbooks for a total of $3.25 plus shipping!) and saw a title of a cookbook that said "Sneaky Chef".  I clicked on it and found the answer to my problems.  This woman (Missy Chase Lapine) has about 4 different cookbooks out that help you add protien, whole grains, veggies, and fruits to meals that your family loves already....and they won't be able to tell that the items have been added.  She has one book specifically for "man food" (chicken wings, alfredo pasta, meatball subs, potato salad, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, fancy french toast, ice cream), two for kids meals (recipes that adults like too), and one regular all around recipe book.

  She spends about 100 pages giving information on the benefits of healthy living, how to gradually add healthy items, and how to combine foods so you can lessen heartburn, increase the benefits of vitamins and antioxidants from fruits and veggies, and tells us which foods interact to increase digestion and absorbtion of nutrients and protein.
  Then she has a section of recipes for what you add-in to regular recipes.  Some of those include veggie/fruit purees (purple puree includes blueberries, lemon juice, water and baby spinach for smoothies, brownies, and cake), white bean puree (white beans and water to add to tomato sauce, egg salad, mashed potatoes, meatloaf), flour blend (white flour, whole wheat flour, wheat germ to make donuts, cookies, pancakes, muffins, brownies, cake), better breading (pulsed almonds, bread crumbs, wheat germ and salt to make fish sticks and parm chicken), and mashed bananas (for ice cream, muffins, and smoothies).

After that section she has the regular recipes with the add-ins.  I've tried about three or four recipes and my husband and girls didn't even know about the things I had added.  My favorite so far has been just to buy Stage 2 baby food carrots and add them to spaghetti sauce, Sloppy Joes and maccaroni and cheese.  We are getting extra veggies, but it's not noticable to the people that might object.  We've switched from white to whole grain bread and tortillas and the girls don't seem to notice at all.  Tomorrow I'm making smoothies for breakfast and we will see how the "purple puree" works out.  We get the V8 juice that is veggie and fruit mixed.  I still serve veggies as a side dish so they knowingly get vegetables, but I'm just adding extra.
