happy weekend! treat yourself by making the ELVIS pancakes, the king of pancakes. what is an elvis pancake you may ask. does it make you walk around the kitchen saying 'uh huh huh' after every flip & bite? maybe.. but it's actually just a simple combination of peanut butter & bananas. elvis wasn't a basic peanut butter & jelly man, his favourite was a fried peanut butter & banana sandwich. these pancakes are a little spin on the classic. the pancake itself is peanut butter flavoured, stacked with banana slices & loaded with maple syrup. now let me go scarf down my saturday pancakes before i go start this weekends non-food related project. today's game plan is to strip & restain a vintage desk chair i found in the garbage. if the chair turns out i will post a photo! if it doesn't, we never speak of it again. wish me luck;)
