I honestly don’t really know the exact sandwich Elvis really loved, but I’m pretty sure it was these flavors. If it wasn’t, it should have been.
Moving on. Welp. That wasn’t exactly fun to watch last night. That’s really all I have to say about that since I don’t really like football anyways.
Sorry this isn’t a 5 ingredient recipe. It’s tough to move houses and cook at the same time. But I’ll get you one this week. Don’t worry buttercup.
But anyways, moving is done. If you didn’t hear me talk about it for the past month, you sure missed out. I’ll give you a recap, I don’t want you to feel in the dark. I found this apartment about a month ago and even though I didn’t need to move out of my house until May, I decided it was too perfect to say no to. So I hounded the landlord with emails and calls and got my deposit check in as soon as the bank opened. I didn’t give him the opportunity to say no. Well, since I got the place starting in February, I decided I shouldn’t waste more money not living in it. So I’ve moved from the Wash Park area of Denver to City Park. I like parks.
Moving is probably one of the least fun things. Ever. You always scrape some kind of furniture. You usually fall at least once (especially if you’re moving in the snow like I did). And you find out all the money you have to spend on refilling groceries, decorating the place, and figure out everything you’re missing since you don’t have roommates anymore. A plunger? Ah crap. Hi Home Depot. But in the end, it’s totally worth it. Especially if you have lovely friends who are selfless enough to help you move. You know those are good people because honestly, nobody actually likes helping with that.
So I’m living the uptown city life now. Lots more shouting and car noise, but I’m into it. Now I have a much larger kitchen so I actually enjoy being in it AND I have an office AND I have a huge balcony to take food pictures on. Pretty much, I got this new place so I could make better food and blogs for you. I’m so selfless.
That’s a total lie.

Just wanted to say congrats on the move!
I’m a devoted follower – and love your humor, your blog and your recipes!
Can’t wait to see what your new place inspires!
PS> I’m eating burnt broccoli right now! Yum – I do mine a little different though, after it’s done I add raisins and cooked bacon. Sounds weird, but if you’ve never tried it, give it a whirl!
Great recipe! Can’t wait to try it out. Can I replace the sunflower seeds butter by almond butter?
Thanks! 🙂
I am for sure making these!!! But I think I will use almond butter instead of sunflower seed butter. I hope they turn out great!!
Can I substitute almond butter for sunflower?
absolutely!
Hi honey:) I’m new to your blog. You sound like such a sweetie. I can’t wait to try some of your recipes. My Dad was a die hard Elvis FANATIC! According to him, Elvis loved peanut butter and banana sandwiches:) He also carried a picture of Elvis in his wallet until the day he died. He was such a crazy character!
Looking forward to following your blog!
What do you think of me using almond butter in place of sunflower seed butter? Would it mess with it too much?
that would work just fine!
I just have to say I love your writing style. It make me smile. I needed a smile today at work. 🙂
I’m so making these later.
I just moved from Wash Park the weekend before last myself, after two years… Congrats on more space and wayyy less $ per sqft (and especially for not caring about “the football”).
Thanks for the recipe, I think I’m going to try adding some black cherries to the mix as well.
Cheers!
Perfection. Can’t wait to try these!
so excited to try and make these… they seriously contain all of my favorite foods in one cookie!! just one question, with baking these paleo desserts I find that sometimes the cookies burn easily, and yours looked a little toasty on the bottom. were they difficult for you to cook to perfection, or do they burn easily??
also, what would you suggest adding in if I wanted a slightly thicker consistency? would adding just a touch of almond flour really tweak the recipe?
thanks!!
coconut flour or tapioca flour would help them get a bit fluffier
