Finding easy back-to-school dinner recipes to suit your family’s needs isn’t always easy, especially if you don’t eat meat. But kid-friendly vegan recipes are easier to come by than you might expect.
These recipes are simple to make, with no fancy cookery or gastronomic techniques needed to turn veggies into a satisfying meal. They’re also familiarly delicious, so even members of the family who do usually eat meat, or those who are squeamish about eating veggies, are bound to find a recipe they love.
It’s not easy to juggle the hustle and bustle of back-to-school season and settling into new routines, but these simple vegan dinner ideas will help you get through it…just in time to start navigating the holidays!

Barbcue is always a crowd-pleaser, and the filling of these bbq jackfruit sandwiches only requires four ingredients.
Lentil Tacos
When your tacos are this nutrish, delish, and easy to make, you might want to have Taco Tuesday more than once a week.
