Well I am babysitting for an adorable 3 year old girl and 5 year old boy, the problem is, almost all of the recipies on here involve peanuts, and the boy is allergic to peanuts. So, does anyone have any good, and HEALTHY recipies that don't include peanuts?

I guess you mean easy to make food.
what kind? dinner, lunch, snack. almost everything heathy can be peanut free. but it is fun to do unheathy things as an occational thing:
and i'm sure there are plenty peanutfreee things on here.

jello aquariums jello with candy sharks or grages, blueberries anyfruit but pineapple or kiwi.
mini pizza's they make there own
trail mix can have anything from mini marshmellows to dried fruit/ceral
nacklaces. have them string fruit loops, cherrio's, gummie lifesavers, alphabets etc.
edible playdough oat meal kind
magic banana search on the site and you will find pics.
popsicles can make mini with toothpick and ice cube trays

I had the same problem a few weeks ago! Here are some ideas:

- Crazy Sandies: make sandwiches of ham, bologna, or cheese, or any combo that the children like. then, take cookie cutters of different shapes and cut them into the shape of the child's choice. this makes a fun, quik snack!
-Smiley Sandy: make sandwhiches of ham, cheese, bologna, or any varietion the child enjoys. then supply vegetables such as carrots, celery, and tomatoes (all sliced), fruits like blueberries half sliced, apple chunks, and other things such as grated cheese and raisins. have the children make a face ont heir sandwich with these!
-celery with ranch dressing (your own recipe!) and salt is always good.
-Spiders On A Raft: take a grape (halved) or blueberry (halved) or mini tomato (halved). then, make legs (8!) with pretzel sticks, celery sticks (sliced thin) or carrot slices. make eyes (tons!) with salt or pepper or even raisins sliced into 8ths. place on a piece of toast. make a bunch until entire piece is covered. tell the children that the spiders need to go into their tummy with the raft or esle they'll fall into the water ! (for added fun, place a bowl of water next to the toast!)

Here's a link to something that might help. It talks about quick meals and tips to make mealtimes easy and fun and suggests some breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks at the end.
