This weeks posts are all for Father’s Day. I have 4 breakfast recipes for ya and one dish you can grill up for dinner on the line up. We are starting the week off with Waffles for a King. Now, not only are this intended to be served to the your King of the Castle for Father’s Day, but they were inspired by the King of Rock and Roll – the one and only Elvis Presley.
I absolutely love to watch Elvis movies. I have had loved them since I was a young girl. O love the music, that dancing and that Elvis smile.
Now Elvis had a love for the combination of peanut butter, banana, and marshmallow. So, that is exactly what is used in this breakfast. It’s a peanut butter waffle topped with fresh banana slices and a nice scoop of marshmallow fluff! Now you can always change the toppings for anything that goes well with peanut butter. However, I must say I love this combination with these waffles for a king. I even think you could spread a little peanut butter on top of the waffles for even more peanut butter goodness.

How fun are these waffles!?! Perfect for any ‘king’!
Yum! And thanks for the tip on keeping waffles warm. I never like having to keep cooking while everyone is eating and then not making them fast enough. I’m for sure trying this.
