RECIPES: Aidan’s Veggie Meat Sandwiches, Trenton’s PB and Apple on a Fork, Evan’s Fruit and Dip, Microwave Toasted Cheese Sandwiches, Potato Chip Sandwiches<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Rae Udy<\/p>\n

\tIt seems kids always come home hungry from school and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a good idea to have a healthy treat available. These are some fun and healthy recipe favorites my grandchildren enjoy and can easily make on their own. <\/strong>
\n\tMeatless Salami is the star of Aidan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Veggie Meat Sandwiches. One slice of this delicious vegetarian sandwich slice is just 40 calories and they contain 4 grams of protein, only 3 grams of fat and no cholesterol. These slices also provide 50 percent of daily value for Thiamin, 20 percent for Niacin and 10 percent for both B6 and B 12.
\n\tAccording to www.elook.org<\/a> one slice of beef salami contains 258 calories and 22 grams of fat but, these luncheon slices provide 49 percent of daily value allowed for saturated fat, 47 percent for sodium and 23 percent cholesterol. They do provide a high protein amount of 13 grams per slice. <\/strong>
\n\tLook for vegetarian salami in the freezer section of large supermarkets near the frozen waffles or at health food stores. Sources: www.kelloggs.com\/brand\/worthington\/.<\/a>
