10 Easy Recipes for Kids (that Adults Like Too)

One of our top favorite easy recipes for kids: these tortilla rollups! It couldn’t be much easier than chopping vegetables, spreading a tortilla with hummus, and rolling it up! It’s completely customizable based on the vegetables you have on hand, and the novelty of eating something in a rollup (or pinwheel) is hard to beat. If you’re looking for dinner ideas for kids, this also might be an option for little ones. To us, easy recipes for kids should also work for adults as well; this one doubles as a tasty party appetizer. Another great option: Mexican Pinwheels

This tomato soup recipe the simplest way we’ve found to make tomato soup from scratch. We’re pretty picky about canned tomato soup and haven’t found a brand we love. So, this homemade tomato soup fits the bill. It’s made creamy using cashews instead of dairy–and who wouldn’t love star toasts alongside? As an adult, I’m still gaga over star-shaped foods.

One of our favorite easy recipes for kids: pita pizzas! Instead of springing for carry out, pita pizzas can be made in the same amount of time and are healthier and cheaper. This one features tomatoes and goat cheese, but if your kids aren’t into those flavors, try these Roasted Red Pepper Pita Pizzas instead. Or, use the same method with toppings of your choice and a purchased marinara sauce.

Another favorite in our easy recipes for kids: Loaded Veggie Quesadillas! These quesadillas are chock full of veggies and flavor, including sweet potato, black beans, and cumin. If you’d like, make our Homemade Spinach Tortillas in advance for a totally veggie loaded experience. It’s a fun project for kids!

If you follow us, you’ve probably seen us post about these veggie dippers! We make them for our son Larson’s lunch when he goes to preschool, and keep them in the freezer. He loves dipping them in yogurt dill sauce, or even hummus! They take a bit of time to bake, but they’re simple to whip up, making them an easy recipe for kids.
