PB Elvis Week : BONUS!!

Posted on by

I know, I know.  I ended this ‘PB Elvis Week’ showdown on here yesterday, but I just HAD to include one more PB Elvis Sammy!  Its pretty much the same Grilled PB&B Sammy that I posted on Tuesday, but this one has another special Elvis-favorite ingredient!

This Sammy called The Elvis is sold at Peanut Butter & Co. Sandwich Shops. It is grilled PB Sammy with banana and honey and BACON!  At $8.50 a pop – this sammy is the best-selling item on the menu, with dozens ordered every day!  So if you enjoyed your Grilled PB&B Sammy from Tuesday, try it this weekend with a couple slices of bacon inside!!

Long Live The King!

PB Elvis Week : Day 2

Posted on by

Elvis Presley’s fondness for PB is practically legendary.  And his all-time favorite way to eat a PB Sammy was fried up with mashed bananas!  Unfortunately, the official Elvis Presley’s Memphis – a Beale Street restaurant serving Elvis’ favorite PB Sammy – closed in 2003.  But there are a few other restaurants today who still offer the fried PB Sammys which “The King” is famous for devouring.

One such establishment is The Arcade Restaurant in Memphis, Tennessee.  It is Memphis’ oldest cafe – since 1919 and Elvis used to frequent this place back in the day!  This family-owned restaurant, full of old-time Memphis charm and multiple claims to Hollywood fame, continues to serve “Elvis’ favorite dish” in honor of their treasured heart-throb.  They call this PB Sammy, “Fried Peanut Butter ‘N’ Banana.”

The Tupelo Honey Cafe in Asheville, North Carolina offers a ‘Grilled PB&B’ Sammy on their kid’s menu.  ”An Elvis born favorite” they claim, this PB Sammy is made on Texas Toast with creamy PB, Bananas, and Tupelo Honey.  Tupelo Honey, of course, because Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi 75 years ago.

Make your own version of this signature PB Elvis Sammy : Grilled PB&B by following these directions…

Grilled PB&B Sammy Ingredients :
-1 small ripe banana
-2 slices of white bread
-2 T. all-natural Krema Creamy PB

Grilled PB&B Sammy Method :
1. Mash banana
2. Butter both sides of the bread
3. Lightly fry one side of each piece of bread in a frying pan on the stove (or toast it)
4. Spread PB on both sides of fried bread
5. Add banana/honey mash on top of PB
6. Close Sammy
7. Fry outside of bread on low until the bread is golden brown and the PB is warm and slightly runny
8. Place Sammy on a plate and cut on a diagonal

I personally have been a long-time fan of grilled PB sammys, but recently I discovered this incredulous recipe from Cooking Light. Definitely my new favorite sammy…well, this week anyways ;-)

“This fun, kid-friendly indulgence was a hit at taste testing and received our highest rating. The recipe can easily be multiplied to make as many sandwiches as you need.”

Cook Time: 8 minutes
Yield: 1 serving (serving size: 1 sandwich)

Ingredients

  • 2  (1-ounce) slices firm white sandwich bread, divided
  • 1  teaspoon butter, softened

  • 2  teaspoons honey
  • 1/2  teaspoon semisweet chocolate minichips
  • 1  large strawberry, thinly sliced
  • 1/2  small banana, cut lengthwise into 3 slices (about 2 ounces)
  • 1  tablespoon pineapple jam

Preparation

Spread one side of each white bread slice with 1/2 teaspoon butter. Combine peanut butter and honey; spread over plain side of 1 bread slice. Sprinkle with chocolate chips; top evenly with strawberry slices and banana slices.

Sammy of the Week : PbRc

Posted on by

This week’s sammy idea comes from our nutty friend and new health-food blogger : Kaila.  Kaila blogs over at Healthy Helper and she created this PbRc sammy (which stands for Peanut Butter Raisins and Carrots) with our very own all-natural Krema chunky PB!  In Kaila’s own words she says…

PbRc : Peanut Butter, Raisins, and Carrots that is.  A spin off the classic PB & J, this sandwich is so good, that I just had to share. The sweetness from the raisins and the carrots compliment the peanut butter so well and it’s a perfect easy addition to a healthy lunch or snack.

What You’ll Need:
~2 Tablespoons Crunchy Krema Peanut Butter (more on that later), or what ever you have on hand
~ 2 tablespoons raisins
~ thinly sliced or shredded carrots to taste
~2 pieces whole wheat or 100% whole grain bread (I used Food For Life Ezekiel Bread)

What to do:
Spread the peanut butter on the bread, top with raisins (so they are evenly dispersed), sprinkle with carrot, and press the bread together. And then enjoy. I drizzle of honey on top or maybe the addition of banana inside could add some variation to this oh so versatile sandwich.

What a fun Sammy of the Week idea!!  Thanks Kaila!  You are super fun and creative!! :-)

Sammy of the Week : PB & Sweet Pickle Sammy

Posted on by

Another simple sammy this week – just slice up your Sweet Gherkin pickles either lengthwise (like above) or horizontally (like below) and layer them onto your all-natural chunky or creamy Krema PB!  This top photo was taken from ABC’s website when this PB & Sweet Pickle Sammy was featured on Good Morning America.  Except they used white bread (gasp!) and store brand PB (double gasp!)  I of course only recommend Krema PB and a natural, high fructose corn syrup-free whole wheat bread!

But, to each his own I guess :-)

Oh yes, and I just loved this photo…Its a Happy PB & Jelly & Pickle Sammy!!  How cool is this??

Have a great Wednesday!
