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.

Yo Juli! I made cookies with half the batter (SO good, especially the day after), and left the rest to be eating batter. But I think it oxidized because it turned DARK GREEN on the surface. Was that the banana’s doing? I can’t find any explanation on google. I tossed it, but wonder if it was actually safe to eat? The baked cookies, however, remained un-green. And delicious. Thoughts on the batter?
That’s the baking soda and sunbutter reacting. They are totally fine to eat though!! The longer it sits, the more green it tends to turn
Are these supposed to have flour? I don’t see any listed?
Nope
Hi,
I’m knew in your blog. These recipes look amazing and yummy!!! I will be following you from now on. Thank you so much for sharing with us these wonderful recipes. I will try these recipes here probably tomorrow.
Thank you again and looking forward for more recipes.
Lili
should these be refrigerated after they are made since they have bacon in them?
Yes
Awesome!! I love these cookies I added 2 TBS of sifted coconut flour and had to sub the honey for coconut sugar. Consistency is amazing. Thanks for sharing this recipe. My plan is to wedge some dark chocolate coconut bliss ice cream and make ice cream sandwiches.
I’m sensitive to nuts and seeds and am just wondering if instead of buying commercial nut or seed butter…if I could make these cookies with raw/soaked sunflower seeds.. and would it be necessary to then roast the seeds?
I’m really not sure, I’ve never roasted my own sunflower seeds
I’m new to your blog! Paleo for 3.5 weeks. Omg I made these for the opening ceremonies last night. The sunflower butter I had was omega 3 with flax seed. They were amazing!!!!!!the whole flax seed added a lil extra crunch. My fam loved!
These were great with Almond butter too!
I made these today but without the bacon because they are for my kids and they aren’t into mixing flavors. Should I add more fat to the recipe because mine came out very fluffy and more like a muffin consistency. Thanks!
omg.. what a great idea
