Ingredients
Planning batch for 10 preschool lunches: 5 beef hot dog links; 10 crescent-dough triangles cut into strips; 30 tater tots; 2 1/2 cups cooked frozen peas; optional tiny dots of soft yellow mustard for eyes. Actual dough wrap yield must be checked.
Wheat in crescent dough; check actual labels for dairy, egg, soy, mustard and other allergens.
Preparation
Cut hot dogs and portion crescent dough under the center's age-safe preparation plan. Wrap dough strips to resemble mummy bandages; bake according to the dough/hot-dog package directions until pastry is baked through and the filling is fully heated. Bake tots and cook frozen peas until tender. Before serving, cut hot dogs lengthwise into quarters and then into very small pieces; never serve whole links or round coins to young children. Cut/soften dough and tots and mash peas as needed. No hard candy eyes.
Infant guidance
Only approved soft components under the individual infant feeding and allergy plan; no automatic infant serving.
Dietary adjustments
Prepare the child's assigned allergy-adjusted replacement separately. Do not assume lactose-free products are dairy-free.
