“Mom, it’s a boring day…” Does that sound familiar to you? We are half way through the summer season, and if your kids are bored keep them occupied by spending time in the kitchen with you. Believe me, kids love to cook and make fun recipes when given the chance. My kids love, love to spend time cooking with me, especially with easy recipes that they need very little assistance in. Mostly just a chaperone. This Peanut Butter and Jelly Hotdog Snacks is such as easy recipe that my 2 and half year old can make by her self. She was so excited about her accomplishment, which tasted so much better of course, because she was the one who made it. I will be posting more kid-friendly recipes for you to make with your kiddos. So, stay tuned! 🙂
Ingredients you will need:
4 – Hot dog buns
4 ripe– bananas
4 tbsp. – peanut butter
4 tbsp. – organic or homemade strawberry spread + 4 tbsp. extra for topping
Instructions:
1. Toast hot dog buns. Let the buns cool completely. Spread strawberry jam on one side of the bun and peanut butter on the other side of the bun.
2. Place one peeled banana in the middle of the bun. Fold the bun together with banana in the middle. Place 4 tbsp. of strawberry spread into a zip lock bag. Cut the end of the zip lock off and squeeze out 1 tbps. of the jam on top of the banana for decoration. Repeat the same steps with the rest of the ingredients.
Enjoy with cup of cold milk!
