– This question was posted: Avoiding the processed vegan meat products, what meals that are mostly whole food plant-based have you made that are kid-friendly? Responses included: Beans! Bean burritos, black bean burgers, chickpea salad etc.; Spaghetti, no-meat chili and cornbread, wild rice and cauliflower soup, goulash, burrito bowls, butternut squash & black bean burritos, baked potatoes; Agree regarding grain and bean bowls–throw in a veggie or two and a sauce, yum! Loaded (with veggies) baked potatoes, soups, we also do a mac n cheese with kale, spinach or broccoli using a sauce I make with plain almond yogurt, nutritional yeast, acv and garlic powder;  and My 8 year old loves to cook with the thug kitchen cookbook. The recipes are really good but I’m sure half of the excitement comes from reading words she’s not allowed to say!
