We almost always have a couple of extra buns around the house from the last time we had a cook out. Instead of just waiting for them to become stale, we fill them with banana, peanut butter, and jam. For kids, it’s almost as much fun as having breakfast for dinner.

• 1 hot dog bun
• Peanut butter
• 1/2 banana cut lengthwise
• Favorite jam (red colors look most like ketchup)

Lightly toast hot dog bun. Spread peanut butter on both sides of open bun. Place half banana on one side of bun. Spread jam on top of banana. Hand to child as he shuffles out the door.
