For kids, mini cupcakes are always nice, or the old standard, chocolate chip cookies!

Its just black beans, balsamic and some cocoa powder. The taste is phenomenal. I serve it up with some crostini on the side. The original recipe for the black bean butter is on the fatfreevegan webite and can be found here: http://www.fatfreevegan.com/sandwiches/832.shtml I also like making mini cupcakes and sweet breads on the side. Mini sandwiches are good and versatile too! You can really get creative with them!=) Hope this helps! I love making a carmelized black bean butter.

I know it's probably harder to do now that most fruit isn't in season, but it's always a big hit with the kiddos. You can cut them out with cookie cutters to make cute shapes and stuff. If someone were to ask me what my daughter would like for a snack at a party, that's what I would recommend. Maybe some edamame too? Mine loves squeezing the beans out of the pods. When boiling, let them go a minute or two longer than what the package recommends so that they squeeze out a little easier. Crackers/pita and hummus is always easy to throw together too. For a vegan dish, you could make falafel that can be dipped in the hummus (or you can use soy yogurt/Tofutti sour cream to make a dip for it).

You can buy the smaller weenies and buy a can of refrigerator biscuits. Cut each biscuit in four, and stretch the dough around each weenie - bake at 350 for about 7-10 minutes depending on your stove, or until they are browned. These can be made ahead and reheated at the last minute. I'll think of some more and get back to you! Pigs in a blanket are always a big hit with the kids.

I have all of the above round here. But for kids, pretty, lovely fresh FRUIT always works. Bite size and tiny-hand sized. Not so much veggies, but no kid ever refuses fruit, ever. Same with a cute raisin/cracker/etc mix. Dont do nuts, some parents are super over-cautious regarding nuts these days. Email me specifically for vegetarian and/or vegan toddler recipes.
