Now. About that crazy sandwich. I know I've posted about trying to watch the sweets, going to the gym, etc. That's why I feel bad about this sandwich. But not too bad, mind you, because Ken and I split it.
Damn you, Paula Deen. This is her stupid sandwich. A grilled (ie:fried) peanut butter and banana sandwich, coated in cinnamon and sugar. The funny thing is, in Paula's version, she mixed the peanut butter with honey to "make it sweeter". Uh.....what? That being said, you must try this sometime. I mean, it can't be worse than say, french toast. Can it? Ooof.
Speaking of breakfast, we had a glorious breakfast dinner a few nights ago. We had the typical tofu scramble, but I also made some devil potatoes. Whoo! I love these! The idea came from a dish of devil potatoes that Lisa brought to a recent potluck. I don't remember all of the spices that she used in hers, I just remember the bright redness from Hungarian paprika. So I used a generous amount of Hungarian paprika I procured at the farmer's market for cheap, and added it to some shredded potatoes, along with some garlic, salt and pepper. These are the best potatoes ever. Ever!!! Try this immediately.
The devil potatoes paired up well with another batch of Kittee's cheezy grits. The half of a garlic bagel really pushed this meal over the edge calorie-wise, but scooping scramble and grits to the mouth via bread is essential to me.
Speaking of Kittee, I finally tried her crispy stuffed tofu pockets from Papa Tofu. These were labor intensive, but so very worth it. for the crispy crust, I chose some health food store corn flakes. So crunchy! So crispy! The filling is mostly Kittee's (a spicy spinach and onion mix), with the omission of peas. Cause ya'll know how I feel about peas.
The picture does not do it justice, as usual.
Along with the tofu pockets, I made a batch of Brussels sprouts. I've never liked Brussels sprouts, but somehow I keep falling into the trap and continue to try them. Verdict? I still don't like them. I feel bad about this. Oh well.
At least I finally made a pepper this week that I liked.

that sandwich looks so deadly! Paula Deen is dangerous. and hot damn girl, that breakfast looks so freakin amazing. i love grits so much. i like them with Earth Balance and sugar, if I don't go the savory route.
you know, i'm not a huge fan of brussels sprouts or peas either.
You know, I like grits either sweet or savory. I usually lean towards savory breakfast stuff in general, though.
Oh I LOVE LOVE LOVE food network! Some of my best ideas come from inspiration there. Now... of course I have to sort through all the references to butter, milk, eggs, chicken and pork loin butt roast (or whatever awfulness is being cooked) but even so, I LOVE food network. Never apologise for getting ideas from there.
Hey TM,
I love the food network, too. I guess I was just apologizing for making a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich coated in sugar. Haha.
Man, I could use one of those fried pb&b sammies right about now! Not surprising that Paula wanted to sweeten it even more!
That tofu sounds sooooo good. Don't you have it when the pictures just don't portray that (which seems particularly common with beige foods). Looks good to me though!
