I'm on a quest to eat healthier and to learn how to actually cook...good luck to me. :P This past weekend I decided to flip through this book I had called Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfield (yep, Jerry Seinfield's wife). It's mostly aimed towards parents who have children that are picky eaters; how to get more vegetables and healthy things into their favorite foods deceptively. ;)The "secret" is to puree different kinds of vegetables/fruits to use in the recipes...which sounds sort of weird, right? Like, you use spinach and carrot purees for brownies, butternut squash puree for macaroni and cheese. O_o Wut? Eh? But hey, it wouldn't hurt to try right?

So after I did some shopping I invited Jess over to experiment with me. We pureed a bunch of carrots and spinach and then proceeded to make brownies! Lo and behold...the brownies tasted awesome!! O_o I even wanted to toss in more chocolate chips to make them even chocolate-ier! Success!!

Later that night I pureed some butternut squash and used it to make some freakin' amazing mac n' cheese that had a super creamy sauce! Lastly, I attempted to make scrumptious Peanut Butter & Jelly Muffins...but I guess there was too much batter...because they turned into...

ZOMBIE MUFFINS!!!

Zombie Muffins!!!

Yeah, so the jelly sort of esploded out. XD They still taste very good, like peanut butter cookies! I had two for breakfast this morning. :D Nom nom.

I am planning on making homemade chicken nuggets tonight, so we'll see how that goes. :P I will take pictures and post them on my Flickr as I go! :D Wish me luck!
