Inspired!

I was inspired last week after Whitney posted about her first try with the Sneaky Chef cookbook. I got this cookbook some time ago in the hopes of getting Nick and I to eat better (without him knowing of course!) After seeing how well Izabel did, I decided that I would try something with Blair since she is kind of a picky eater now. Our first try was adding blueberry juice to milk since Blair does not like plain cows milk. That didn't go well at all. She just spit out the milk. Try number two was Sneaky Baked Ziti. I made orange puree, which is cooked sweet potatoes and carrots and added it to the sauce and I also added some tofu into the sauce also. The tofu looks like ricotta cheese and it takes on the flavor of what it is in. Blair gobbled up the ziti! She loves pasta so I knew that it would be a hit. I enjoyed it too, but I would add more sauce than what they call for so that the pasta doesn't dry out after it is refrigerated. I will definatly be trying out more things since this was such a hit!!!
