The kids are on their way home from school and they are going to be hungry. What do you feed them? Beans are always a great choice!
Beans are packed with protein and other nutrients that won’t only fill them up but also provide them with healthy energy that will help them focus on their homework and still have the energy to go outside and play.
Best of all, beans are extremely versatile. While they are great in soups and salads, beans can also be a vital component in small, simple recipes that can be served up to kids as a light after school snack. Here are a few of our own original recipes as well as a few others we love and would be great to make with Randall Beans. Of course, all of these recipes make for great appetizers for other occasions too!
