My kids never knew there were carrots in their cupcakes. I love this cookbook. So many delicious recipes, I am going to try to make them all for my kids. I just picked this book up recently and I am very impressed by the variety of recipes. My daughter who is the pickiest eater has not complained once yet about the meals I have made her from this book. The cookies are fabulous, the cupcakes my kids devoured. The mac and cheese was as usual a huge hit with both of them. My dilemma was, I had one kid who would eat anything and one kid who wouldn't eat anything. Now I have two kids who both sit down to eat there meals and don't even realize all the healthy goodness that's been disguised in there food and if they do - they don't care because they are loving every bite. Awesome!
