 Kitty is a newlywed and avid home cook living in Brooklyn, NY. An admitted overeater, Kitty always maintained a fit lifestyle by enjoying a healthful whole food diet, until something unexpected happened...she fell in love with a man who hates vegetables. Changing her cooking to accommodate his finicky tastebuds, she found herself quickly adopting his unhealthy habits. Concern over her husband's general health, and her own expanding waistline, led her to create her popular food blog, My Husband Hates Veggies.
Join Kitty as she shares the "Veggie Fake-Out" recipes she's created to sneak some vegetables and other healthy foods into her husband's unsuspecting belly. Along the way she will also discuss packaged foods, popular recipes, and kitchen tips that are perfect for people who are cooking for kids, husbands, girlfriends or anyone who is reluctant to eat "healthy" foods.

Folks, it doesn't get much easier than this...
A recipe from one of my most-cherished cookbooks, Linda Frazier's Encyclopedia of Italian Cooking, for Zuppa di Broccoletti.
It requires a simple list of healthy ingredients, that you may already have in your fridge at this moment. It's light, tasty and refreshing. But the best part? On the Weight Watchers program, this delicious soup weighs in at a whopping ZERO points. Did that wake you up? Then read on... |

Ask my husband what he’d wish for his last meal, or the one food he’d want to be stranded on a deserted island with, and his answer will be the same every time.
Kentucky Fried Chicken. Original recipe. A whole bucket of it.
Lucky for me, our nearest KFC is far enough from our Brooklyn home, that he doesn’t get a chance to enjoy it very often. But more than once I have returned home from a night out with girlfriends to detect its unmistakable scent in the air. There isn’t much I can do about the times when I am not around, but for the other times when he gets that familiar craving, I have a delicious trick up my sleeve. |

Back in high school, I was obsessed with muffins. Every morning before school, Mom would drop me off at the David’s Cookies shop across the street, and my girlfriends and I would enjoy a “healthy” breakfast of gargantuan-sized jumbo chocolate chip muffins. To make them even healthier, we usually got them grilled, with butter. I’m pretty sure we washed them down with hot chocolate or a Snapple Cherry Lime Rickey. And I wondered why I was such a chubby teenager.
Years later, when I started to teach myself about nutrition, I quickly discovered what we all were heartbroken to discover during the simple carb revolution of the past 10 years – most breakfast muffins are the equivalent of starting your day with a piece of birthday cake.
Unless, of course, you take the time to make some yourself… |

What’s your favorite Thanksgiving treat? If you are like most people (yours truly included) you probably can’t wait for those fat-laden, carbohydrate-dense side dishes that will fill so many of our dinner plates. It may seem like there is no room on the holiday table for a healthy, fiber-rich dish to go along with all the bold flavors that will be present…but I have a secret up my sleeve for a side dish that will help you to get a fantastic dose of fiber and nutrients, that your family will never suspect is a Thanksgiving veggie fake-out. |

When preparing foods for a person who hates vegetables, you start considering other vehicles with which to get fiber into their diet. Breads are a logical choice, with so many multi-grain, high-fiber options readily available on supermarket shelves. My problem? Well, it probably comes as no surprise, but my husband absolutely adores white bread. |
