Highlights of some of the easiest and most popular meals

Being a Sneaky Chef means thinking outside the box (the pizza and cookie box, that is!)   Armed with a copy of my books and some simple sneaky staples on hand, you’ll find homemade meals are faster, healthier, and less expensive than convenience foods and take-out.  Think of it as the new 6Ps:  “Prior Planning Prevents Pizza delivery, Processed foods, and Pounds!”

Some of the easiest and most popular recipes in The Sneaky Chef: How to Cheat on Your Man (in the Kitchen) include:

Stacked Pancakes – no flour added!  These are high protein and fiber, low carb, delicious pancakes that’ll keep you energized all morning.   They are a light, fluffy blend of low fat ricotta, egg whites, ground almonds and oat bran (chocolate chips or blueberries optional!).

Sinless Smoothies – toss some frozen strawberries or cherries in a blender with refreshing green tea, creamy avocado, pomegranate juice and ice!

Lunch – something as simple as a tuna sandwich or chicken salad can be easily made lower in fat and higher in fiber with a two-minute White Bean Puree – use this delicious, creamy puree in place of half the mayonnaise in the tuna or chicken salad.

I’d love to hear your ideas for slipping healthy foods in your family’s meals.  Also, if you have any specific requests or favorite dishes you’d like me to make healthier, please post a comment on this blog!
