For parents of finicky eaters, The Sneaky Chef: How to Hide Healthy Foods in Kid’s Favorite Meals, was the answer to their prayers, giving them solutions for hiding healthy food in the meals kids crave. But women know that there’s often another picky eater in the family - Men who dismiss healthy choices as unsatisfying rabbit food. So The Sneaky Chef has now catered to the guys, creating delicious recipes that will appeal to the manly appetite while sneaking in ingredients that specifically target men’s health issues.

On the show Missy explained her secret recipes you can use to sneak green veggies like spinach, broccoli and peas into meals. First, you puree the green vegetables then you mix in tomato paste which turns everything brown. Remember your colors red and green make brown. Now that you have this brown veggie sauce you can easily mix it into any meat sauce unnoticed.

Some Sneaky Recipes for men include: pizza, wings, ribs and nachos. Some Sneaky Recipes for kids include: mac and cheese, ice cream, and noodles.
