I saw this recipe and had to think wth?! It’s not that is sounded yucky or anything but I just kept thinking, isn’t a kid’s lunch supposed to be easy to eat? Do they really need to sit there and figure out how to eat their food? Take a look:
1 hot dog bun
1 T peanut butter or cream cheese
1 T jelly, jam, or honey
1 whole banana
rasins, shredded coconut, chopped peanuts, or toppings of your choice
Here’s what you’re supposed to do:
In the morning you open the hot dog bun and spread one side with the peanut butter or cream cheese and the other with the jelly, jam, or honey. Then you wrap it up in plastic wrap and pack it away. You then put the toppings in a little container to keep it separate. When your child is ready to eat lunch, they open up the wrapped hot dog bun (that is now sticky and gooey with goo) and peel the banana to place inside. Then they can sprinkle as much of the topping that they want on top.
So what do you think? Now, I know it depends on the age of your child but how many kids can do all this without dropping it or ripping the sticky mess apart? I’d imagine that my child would have come home saying that he ate it in alternate bites because he couldn’t get the banana in there, or that he’d dropped it altogether and only had the banana and toppings to eat. LOL! It sounds okay as far as taste but not too kid friendly in my opinion.

Sounds awful - taste and mess!
I think my kids would end up eating the bun that would most likely be glued shut first, then the banana and finish it off by dumping the toppings in their mouth!
Yeah, I don't think that sounds to kid friendly. I don't even know if it sounds that good. Even though I know there's no hot dog in it, I can't get the thought of eating a hot dog and a banana together. LOL!
Hmm, that does sound very cool! But I agree with you- definitely for older kids.
