Moms, Nutritionists, Dieters--Everybody Buy This Book

This book is by far the best book on eating healthfully. Why? Because Evelyn teaches you how to sneak "good food" (veggies, fiber, even soy) into "normal food". Yeah, we all know we should eat cruciforous veggies, more fiber, some soy, fruits, etc. But we don't. Evelyn shows you ways to pump up the nutritional value of foods you like--in a way that you won't even notice. Adding black beans to brownies is one solution--and it works (adds fiber, phytochemicals) and the brownies taste good, not healthy. She teaches you to puree cauliflower into your potatoes, so that you get the boost of nutrition. (I HATE cauliflower, but I don't mind eating it this way). All in all, I can't wait for more Stealth Health recipes. If you have kids, doubting husbands, or just plain don't like the taste of healthy food, buy this book. :) If you do like healthy food, this book will amaze you with how good healthy eating can taste.

A Magical Cookbook

The very first day I received this cookbook in the mail, I tried 3 recipes. Everyone in my family has specific likes and dislikes. My husband hates anything with dairy but loved the Spinach Cheese squares. All my kids hate veggies but loved the Pecan Crusted Sweet Potatoes. They had no idea that these things were actually "good" for them because they tasted so wonderful. The cookbook is also full of tons of nutritional information that is presented in an easy to understand format. Great book!

Great Concept Great Recipes

Get this book even if you don't like to cook, the nutrition tips alone are worth the purchase. I love the recipes (at least the ones I've tried so far--onion rings, enchilada bake and the apple pear crisp.

From Brownies to Cheese Dip

All the recipes I have made thus far has been absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend trying the black bean brownies. The first time I saw that I thought it sounded too gross, but it is better then bakery bought sweets! The beans keep them moist and there's only 2tbs of wheat which can be omitted for those who are allergic to it, without sacrificing any of the taste. This is THE cookbook I'll be giving all newlyweds, it's that good.

Love the Sneak Idea--Great for Kids

I'm always trying to find ways to get more vegetables into my kids diet--this book has a lot of great solutions. The recipes are easy to make even for my picky family. I loved the Pesto Pasta Surprise and the Sunburst Soup. The pizza recipe has become our family favorite. I also like how the author described how she performed a nutriition sneak for each recipe---it helps give me ideas for some of our meal standbys. The nutrition information in each section is motivating, especially the studies that are scattered throughout the book.
