A tablespoon of squash might not be a big deal to you, but around here it’s practically Mount Everest.

Although I didn’t make much headway with the “Deceptively Delicious” recipes, I used the book’s principles to score a victory today in our ongoing struggle to get Poppy to eat vegetables. I mixed a tablespoon of butternut squash puree in with about a tablespoon and a half of peanut butter and a little honey. I used part of it to make Poppy’s sandwich, and I put the rest in the fridge for tomorrow. After she finished her sandwich, though, she asked for more! So I pulled the rest of the peanutbutternut out and gave it to her as a “dip” for her pretzels.

She ate it all. And she asked for more again.
