Scrambled Eggs (with Cauliflower)

Rather than our usual eggs, bacon and hotdog for breakfast, here's another recipe that will make your kids eat cauliflower without them knowing it!

This recipe was created by Jessica Seinfeld for Oprah.com.

The key here is mixing vegetable puree in our usual dishes so that the kids will not know that they are eating vegetables.

Ingredients:

Serves 2

• 2 large eggs
• 4 large egg whites
• 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
• 1/2 cup cauliflower puree
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
• Pinch of salt
• Nonstick cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, sour cream, cauliflower puree, Parmesan and salt.

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray, then set the pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Add the egg mixture, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently with a silicone spatula, until the eggs are scrambled—firm but nice and moist—2 to 3 minutes.

Brownies (with Carrot and Spinach)

We all know that there are some kids who are really picky eaters. We can't force them to eat because the more we insist on giving them the food, the more they'll say no. This leaves us the challenge of being more creative in preparing our food so that the kids will be enticed to eat them.

There are some kids who don't want to eat vegetables. So when I came across this brownie recipe (with a twist) which is a favorite among kids, I decided to share it with you.

Ingredients:

Makes 12 brownies

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 3 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
• 1/2 cup carrot puree
• 1/2 cup spinach puree
• 1/2 cup firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons trans-fat-free soft tub margarine spread
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 large egg whites
• 3/4 cup oat flour or all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 350°. Coat an 8" x 8" baking pan with cooking spray.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or over a very low flame.

In a large bowl, combine the melted chocolate, vegetable purees, sugar, cocoa powder, margarine and vanilla and whisk until smooth and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes.

Whisk in egg whites. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt with a wooden spoon.

Pour the batter into the pan and bake 35 to 40 minutes. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 bars.
