40 Versatile & Kid-Friendly Snacks Every Mealtime Should Have

 

Vegan cuisine is very diverse and there are many savory vegan recipes that are kid-friendly. For example, my family loves these Vegan Thai Peanut Lettuce Wraps with Sesame Cornbread for dinner. The recipe includes the following ingredients:

 

One cup of peanut butter,

One cup of water or vegetable broth,

Two tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari),

Three tablespoons brown sugar (or maple syrup),

1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar,

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, Two 16 ounce blocks of firm or extra-firm tofu drained and crumbled. Plus lettuce leaves for wrapping. And sesame cornbread to serve with it.

 

This light white pasta sauce is healthy, flavorful, and easy to prepare. It's made with a mixture of vegetable broth, garlic cloves, spinach leaves, lemon juice or zest. And it gets its creaminess from an unexpected ingredient: cashews! Add fresh herbs for some added flavor.

 

Many of the ingredients used in this recipe are widely available, and it's straightforward to prepare. The lasagna noodles boil for a few minutes before you start layering your mixture. The casserole is ready in about 45 minutes from start to finish.

 

The cashews provide the creaminess that would typically come from dairy products, making this dish a vegan option for those with lactose intolerance or dietary restrictions. It also has flavors kids will love, such as broccoli and onion-broccoli mix plus spices like garlic, basil, oregano, parsley and thyme for a unique Italian flavor.

 

Mexican black beans and corn could be an excellent filling for these individual-sized pies. The black beans would provide the protein, and the sweetness from the corn would make it perfect for any mealtime!

 

The dish is typically made at family gatherings on Thanksgiving or Christmas, so it's no wonder that some people call it Vegetable Lasagna. The word itself doesn't have any cheese in the sauce or on top of the lasagna noodles. But if you're looking for a twist on the traditional version, this recipe might be just what you need!

 

Unlike most lasagnas, which are heavy and can take multiple hours to cook, this one is made with vegetables like tomatoes and garlic. It only takes about 20-25 minutes to cook in total! And it's gluten-free too! Plus, there are many different ways that people like to prepare it with their spin, whether they make an Italian version with tomato sauce and basil or a Mexican version with salsa, black beans, and corn.

 

This recipe is made with a few different veggies found in all sorts of American recipes.
