Guest guest Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Great conversations with this group, and I personally really appreciate the health experiences and successes that some of you have spoken of. I used to puree foods like carrots and onions that my kids wouldn't eat when they were younger and add it to soups or meals and they never knew the difference. My husband has never liked turnips or rutabagas, but always when he was getting sick I would make chik soup with pureed rutabagas in there and the entire family loves that soup. My daughter loves the flavor of onions in cooked meals but really does not enjoy the texture of them at all, so I always puree them for whatever meals I make and we're both happy! I think that that is often the case with people, the flavor is more appreciated than having to eat the actual thing. I find pureeing (?)way easier than dicing, but maybe I'm just lazy! Thanks for all the great comments and recipe sharing...I'm very much enjoying this group. Sharita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I do that with my already cooked veggies and such after they are a few days old. Then make soups out of them. Way better than throwing them away. Course I love my veggies. My husband and daughter arent much into veggies, more fruits than veggies. I'm the opposite, fruits are too sweet for me. That just means more veggies for me. Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 My husband and granddaughter won't eat eggplant, so I puree it and add it to their pasta sauce. They love the deep flavor and the clingy smoothness of the sauce and have no idea what they are eating. They ask why I did not make their normal sauce if I don't put it in, but if they knew it was eggplant, they would probably decide they don't like it. People are funny!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Yes, it really worked beautifully when they were younger and had no idea and now that they're older, they appreciate the effort I went through for them. Plus, as I said earlier, my daughter still does not like having to eat cooked onions, but she recognizes that they make a meal taste way better, so she is very grateful that I puree the onions for her. ________ , RoseUvHollywood <roseuvhollywood wrote: > > Wow I guess so it is a true form of disquise.
