Pureeing fool

I've been having a great time with my new Christmas toys this week. During the boys' naps for the last few days I've been a pureeing fool. I've steamed, peeled, measured, chopped and blended carrots, squash, sweet potato, spinach and blueberries. I bought a small rice steamer and it is working really well to steam the veggies. The Magic Bullet makes them very smooth. So far I have made two things from my Deceptively Delicious cookbook and they turned out really yummy.

Ethan really enjoyed the peanut butter and jelly muffins. Little did he know there were pureed carrots in them! He helped me make them, so I think that made him a little more interested in trying them. I made ketchup too and it turned out pretty good. I was happy to have the boys gobble it up knowing there was no high fructose corn syrup in it, but there were healthy veggies. Even Eric is getting in on the fun. He put pureed spinach in his smoothie and he said he couldn't even tell. I can't wait to try out some more recipes!
