Lucky for you all, I have delightful friends who are willing to share their recipes with us! I am in somewhat of a cooking slump (think... exclusively frozen TJoes food) so they are bailing me out on Recipe Monday! Today, my cousin-ish Amy has agreed to do another guest post for me- she is filled with fun ideas! I do love the Deceptively Delicious book and I am pumped Amy reminded me to go blow the dust off of my copy and use it! So Happy Monday and Enjoy!
This is one of my favorite recipes from one of my favorite cook books called Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld. Yes, this is the wife of the infamous Jerry Seinfeld. I've made many recipes from this particular book that have been successfully kid tested. And I love that they are getting some vege's! I recommend steaming or baking the vegetables ahead of time, then pureeing them in a food processor or blender. You can throw them directly into the recipe and freeze some portions for later. I love pairing these Sloppy Joes with Alexia Julienne Sweet Potato Fries. http://www.alexiafoods.com/products/sweet-potatoes/sweet-potato-julienne-fries?gclid=CK26ocDBrq8CFYdeTAod92I-lA
