Want to make a month's supply of healthy Sneaky Chef purées quickly and easily, not to mention having a blast with your friends at the same time? Host a Sneaky Chef Puree Party! I did this recently with some friends in preparation for a school bake sale, and it was so much fun. This is the perfect excuse for a get- together with friends. Not only will you have fun, but you’ll have plenty of purees on hand to freeze and use to enhance your family’s meals quickly and easily.
Just invite your friends, put on some fun background music and set out your favorite munchies (Sneaky Chef recipes or otherwise).
Here are the three easy steps to hosting a really fun puree party:
1. GATHER TOOLS & INGREDIENTS
Ask each person to bring a raw ingredient or two (cauliflower, zucchini, sweet potatoes, carrots, broccoli, peas and spinach), plus their 3-cup mini food processor (one for about every three people). Or, you can use one larger food processor for every 9 people. Have a few large pots with steamer baskets for cooking the veggies.
2. START PUREEING
Divide up the tasks: one person washes, one chops, one steams the veggies, a few people run the food processors. You should have an area to make White Puree, Orange Puree, Green Puree, and Purple Puree.
3. BAG ‘EM UP!
Put the purees into plastic zip-top baggies in one-half cup sized portions, mark the contents and date on the bag, and divide among your friends for refrigerating (up to 3 days) and freezing (up to 3 months). You can also store the finished purees in covered ice cube trays if you prefer to defrost individual portions rather than a whole baggie.
That's all there is to it! You'll each have a month's supply of healthy purees at your finger tips to nutritionally enhance all of your favorite Sneaky Chef recipes on a moment's notice, and you'll have had a great time doing it. It gives new meaning to the phrase, "Enjoy in good health."
With healthiest regards,
Missy (aka, The Sneaky Chef)
