Welcome to my blog. These are the memoirs of an undomestic goddess who went from a high flying corporate career to stay-at-home-Mum. Join me as I learn about Chinese culture, how to cook and decorate a home. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I’ve always griped about my hubby’s unhealthy approach to his diet – that and the fact that he seems to put on about as much weight as a pregnant woman whenever I get pregnant because he claims to have “cravings”. Unfortunately, after the last pregnancy, I lost the weight but he didn’t.
Now that I am pregnant again, I do wish there were some way to get him to trade in his unhealthy snacks for something better.
And then my SIL2 told me about a book called “The Sneaky Chef” by Missy Chase Lepine. It was actually in reference to the fact that my son is a picky eater and this might be the way to get him to eat his greens without having to go to war over it. I was very intrigued when I heard that you could make chocolate cake with hidden veggies in it. Goodness, why didn’t someone come up with this idea sooner?
Anyway, while visiting their website, I discovered there is also a book for the husbands:
The only pity is that the food is Western and my hubby is a Chinaman to the core. He has to have rice in most meals and it has to be Chinese style rice – not risotto or biryani or whatnot.
And to be fair, he does eat his veggies. It’s just those damn in between meal snacks…
