Banana-Stuffed Sandwiches

The Peanut Butter and Jelly Hot Dog is Simple for Back to School

— September 4, 2012 — Life-Stages
With school starting back up, you're probably looking for some easy lunch ideas, either for yourself or for your kids. If you're looking for inspiration, check out the simple and delicious peanut butter and jelly hot dog. This fun recipe comes from Ariel Meadow Stallings of Offbeat Home.

Instead of using white or whole wheat bread slices, Stallings replaces this ingredient with a much thicker hot dog bun. She stuffs it with a banana rather than a hot dog, and replaces condiments like ketchup and mustard with a classic peanut butter and jelly mixture.

This super straightforward recipe will save you some time in the morning.
Trend Themes
1. Kid-friendly Sandwiches - The trend toward creative and fun sandwich ideas for kids presents opportunities for innovative substitutions of traditional ingredients and toppings, such as the banana-stuffed sandwich trend.

3. DIY School Lunches - The trend toward creative and easily-made school lunches for busy parents presents the opportunity to create innovative, healthy, and fun recipes like banana-stuffed sandwiches that cater to the needs of both parents and children.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage Industry - The food and beverage industry can capitalize on the trend toward healthy and fun school lunch options by developing and offering healthier and interesting alternatives to traditional sandwiches, such as the banana-stuffed sandwich trend.
2. Education Industry - Schools and educational institutions can capitalize on the trend toward DIY school lunches by partnering with food and beverage companies to provide resources and tools for parents to create healthier and cost-effective lunch options for their children like banana-stuffed sandwiches.
3. Retail Industry - Retailers can capitalize on the trend toward healthy and convenient school lunch options by offering pre-packaged and pre-made alternatives, such as banana-stuffed sandwiches, that cater to the needs of time-poor parents and children on-the-go.
