Mister Rogers' Neighborhood Peanut Butter Banana Raisin Snack
"This is the first food that I ever made. I felt like such a "big girl" rolling a peanut butter coated banana in raisins the way that Mister Rogers taught me. Healthy and delicious snack, dessert, or breakfast for little and big kids."

- Ready In:
- 2mins
- Ingredients:
- 3
- Yields:
-
1 peanut butter raisin snack
- Serves:
- 1-2
ingredients
- 1 banana
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons raisins
directions
- Wash hands. Give your child a banana and show how to peel it. Spread peanut butter on all sides of banana using a dull butter knife or spoon.
- Sprinkle raisins on a plate and roll peanut butter coated banana in raisins or sprinkle all sides of peanut butter coated banana with raisins (rolling the banana is messier). Eat with fingers. Wash hands. Note: Amounts for peanut butter and raisins are approximate.
- Fun Tip: Children are curious about the insides-especially when those things are hidden. When they peel a banana, they see that there's something very different on the inside. The peeling is a protection for the banana. What other foods do they know that have a peel? What kind of fruit becomes a raisin? How does a grape become a raisin?

<p>My grandfather did not speak or read a word of English when he moved to America from China at eleven years old. With a lot of hard work, he proudly became an US citizen and began his own Cantonese restaurant in Kingston, NY, from the ground up. He is not a trained chef but has a natural gift for combining unexpected flavors and ingredients into the most delicious dishes. Although the food on the menu is the absolute best Chinese food in the country, the really out-of-this-world dishes are the ones that he serves his family in the back of the restaurant. He doesn't read cookbooks or write down any of his recipes; all his creations are original. Growing up, I spent every summer with him eating these foods. Every morning, we would pick fresh vegetables from his garden that he would use to make the noon and evening meals with. He stuffed garden zucchini the size of my arm (of course, my arm was smaller then) with fresh lobster and shrimp. This is just one example of a simple summertime lunch for him. Without a doubt, his cooking is the greatest influence on my tastes in foods and my own recipes.</p>
