A family favorite served weekly at our house, with a side of rice and broccoli. Prep30 minutes Total
55 minutes Yield
Serves 4 Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup carrot puree
- 1 tablespoon firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup 100% orange juice
- 1 clove garlic, cut in half
- 2 green onions, cut in thirds

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1-1/2 pounds)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place all the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, then cook until the mixture thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the garlic, onions, and ginger.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with the pepper and paprika. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side, until both sides are golden. Off the heat, carefully pour in the teriyaki sauce. Slide the skillet into the oven. Bake until the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
From Double Delicious!: Apple Crumble
Every fall, we go to a great orchard in Long Island, New York, and pick tons of apples. I make this apple crumble with the ones we can’t finish.Prep
30 minutes Total
1 hour 15 minutes Yield
Serves 12 Ingredients for Filling
- 4 large Golden Delicious or Gala apples (about 3 pounds)
- 1/2 cup butternut squash puree
- 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup walnuts, pecans, or almonds, roughly chopped
- 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
- 1-1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 cup trans-fat-free soft tub margarine spread, frozen
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4 inch slices. In a large mixing bowl, toss the apples, squash puree, brown sugar, lemon juice, flour, cinnamon, and vanilla. Transfer to the dish and spread out in an even layer. Set aside.
2. Make the topping. In another large bowl, mix together the nuts, pastry flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Using your fingertips, gently work in the frozen margarine until pea-size lumps form. If the margarine begins to melt, place the bowl in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Top the apples evenly with the nut mixture and bake, uncovered, until the apples are bubbly and the topping is golden brown, about 45 to 50 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I completely agree with other reviewers that are disappointed in the recipes in this book. When she was on Oprah she made great, easy looking dishes that had veggies in them, but had nothing to do with purees. I thought this cookbook would have included those recipes and other similar recipes. I don't mind using purees sometimes, but I didn't want a whole book full of recipes with them in it, and was not aware that this book is just like her first "Deceptively Delicious".
I feel as though this book was falsely advertised to viewers because NONE of the recipes she made on the show are included here. Who would have guessed that? If you're on Oprah talking about your new book, why not highlight some of the recipes that are in the book? Maybe she (and the producers) knew that recipes with purees wouldn't appeal to everyone. I would not have bought this knowing what I do now. I could have just gotten the recipes I wanted, for free, online.

How many more times is this disingenuous social climber going to appear on Oprah trying to dupe the public into thinking that she is just another "busy mom" like many of the hardworking honest viewers? If you want an excellent way to roast chicken follow any number of other chefs (Ina Garten, Rachel Ray, Bobby Flay and even Martha Stewart for heaven sakes).
Did you ever think that you would see Jerry Seinfeld reduced to sitting in an Oprah studio audience kvelling over crock pot lasagna? It is beyond pathetic. A better use of time would be to help hungry children overseas. I am shocked that Oprah would subscribe to such nonsense - but then again maybe she is gunning for another round of Louboutin shoes.
This book and the whole concept of recycling ideas which have been around for decades is the real crock. Save your money and please give it to a worthy cause. This Jessica Seinfeld is the last person on earth who needs more money to fund her narcisstic needs. I am doubled over with disgust.

This is a spiral bound cookbook that has as its goal less fat and more healthy cooking. Jessica Seinfield shows you how to shop for better well being, how to read labels and her hints for picking out more wholesome choices in fruits and vegetables, dairy, meat, poultry, fish, oils, breads and cereals, pasta, rice, beans and grains, juices and sodas, snacks. In my book the spiral binding is very tight and especially for the first 25 and last 25 pages, they tear even as I tried to carefully flatten them.
The recipes are: breakfast, mealtime, dessert.
An example of how she makes her food better for you is in some of the ingredients for her cinnamon buns: nonfat milk, orange juice, whole wheat flour, non fat milk powder, carrot puree, trans fat free margarine, cauliflower puree. If you have very sensitive taste buds, you can taste these purees and sometimes the different texture they result in. I counted 66 various recipes with the following purees: broccoli, sweet potato, carrot, cauliflower, pumpkin, spinach, butternut squash,, yellow squash and 16 with no purees used- so this seems to be one of the keys to this healthful cooking. In all honesty my family prefers regular recipes and has voted unanimously to eat less rather than to use the pureed vegetable ingredients.

I'm sorry, there is NOTHING quick about these recipes. Almost all of them call for pureed cauliflower, broccoli, butternut squash, yellow squash, etc. Waaaaayyyyy too much work!

I saw Jessica on Oprah and thought the book would be great. I bought it to discover the 3 recipies that she showed on Oprah are NOT in the book.
What happened to the Crock Pot Lasangna, the steak,asparagus dinner and the Whole Roasted Chicken? She never mentioned the use of Purees in the recipies. None of this seems fast with the use of the vegetable purees. I am not saying it is a bad cookbook, it was represented as something else.
