I LOVE sweets! I really do. It’s always a struggle for me not eat too much. So when I came across this yummy brownie recipe in<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 Jessica Seinfeld’s <\/span>Deceptively Delicious book<\/a> I knew I had to try it. (You can find a few others from this book if you click the recipe tab on the right side of my blog)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

I made the brownies recently for a women’s health event that I hosted and they were a big hit. Dark chocolate has a lot of antioxidants in it, so I thought it was the perfect choice to share with my girl friends. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So what makes them healthier, you may ask??<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There are a couple of secret ingredients……<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And…<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That’s right – Spinach and Carrots! <\/i>And honestly, you could not tell that they were in there at all.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Jessica’s book is all about adding in pureed fruits and veggies so your kiddos (and other picky eaters in your life) will get some good stuff in their food. I have used different recipes from this book and my family has always enjoyed them.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The recipe called for a 1\/2 cup of each vegetable puree. I use my mini food processor that I used to use when I pureed baby food. It works really well for this. Be sure to cook or steam your veggies first, cut them up and add a little water if necessary. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Other ingredients included 3 oz of semisweet or bittersweet chocolate. (Dark chocolate is a healthier choice.) It also had unsweetened cocoa powder.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They tasted pretty good for being a healthy option! My sweet tooth was satisfied:) And I loved that they were loaded with antioxidants for eye health from the veggies and also had some good fiber and were low in calories and saturated fat. Perhaps a good option for your holiday weekend festivities. Feel free to contact me for the full recipe.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks for reading! Have a healthy and safe Memorial Weekend!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
