MORNINGS at MY HOUSE... broiled bananas with peanut butter & honey

3/8/2012

     Lately I've found myself explaining the things I do, to someone who has recently been getting to know me better.  I've been slightly aware of my odd behavior, but apparently it is glaringly obvious to other members of my family (as my daughter has pointed out to me many times).  I will do things over, and over; not in an obsessive-compulsive way.  But what I will do is listen to the same CD constantly (for months).  During that time, I will not play any other CDs.  I will listen to the music and know it inside-out.  I will know all of the words.  I can sing all of the harmonies.  I will hum it to myself as I'm trying to fall asleep at nights (which keeps me from falling asleep at nights).  Does anyone else do this?  It seems to be the same with food.  When I really like something, I will make it non-stop -- especially salads.  There are winters we will eat greens with dried cherries, toasted walnuts, Gorgonzola, and a cherry balsamic vinaigrette most every night (o.k., sometimes I will throw in some bacon).  It's not a lack of creativity or that I'm in a rut... I just love this salad and I'm happy as can be consuming this and nothing else.

     Years ago I fell into that same routine with this breakfast of whole grain bread, banana slices, peanut butter and honey (chocolate chips optional ;-).  It was what I made every morning for weeks on end.  I think I see a pattern developing... again.

Broiled Bananas with Peanut
          Butter and Honey

• 1 slice of whole grain bread
• Natural peanut butter
• 1 banana, cut in 1/4-inch slices
• Chocolate chips, optional
• Honey

   Spread the whole grain bread with peanut butter (smooth or chunky).  Arrange banana slices on top of the peanut butter (toss on chocolate chips, if using),and drizzle with a good dose of honey.  Place the bread on a baking sheet and broil until toasted and the bananas have begun to caramelize.

Eileen, I would have no problem having breakfast with you over and over again. My only objection would be broiling so early in the morning. That would take more observation than I am willing to project in the a.m. ;)

I came across this wonderful blog of three. How fortunate to have a sister who shares the same interests and friends from across the land and ocean you also share with.
I've been sitting here with my glass of wine just pouring over the pastries, antiques and travels.
I saw your broiled bananas and peanut butter on Foodgawker. I recently posted peanut butter banana french toast on same.
Continue the great writing. I intend to keep up with your blog.

OMGoodness! Back in the 60s when I was little, I used to get Humpty Dumpty magazine. This was one of the recipes I used to make over and over again... for years! Decades have gone by since I even thought of it. Good thing it's breakfast time!
Thank you SO much for reminding me.

This looks like one of my favorite breakfasts. But, I just use toast, PB, and sliced bananas. John calls it my "Elvis Special". Then again, he's the one that used to actually wear out vinyl records by playing them over and over.

I do the same type of repetitive things... But instead of a CD, it's normally just one song... Can't wait to try broiled bananas & peanut butter with honey. Sounds delish!

I was just thinking of something like this last weekend. I might try it sprinkled with flax seeds, in the hopes they'll get a little toasty...

Que receta más original para plátanos. Como vivo en Canarias, donde los plátanos son buenisimos siempre me gusta buscar recetas con este ingrediente, y la tuya está estupenda. Saludos.

Hi Shirley -- I cannot find "1 peanut butter" anywhere in the post. There is "1 slice of whole grain bread" and "1 banana" listed in ingredients. You may use as much peanut butter as you desire ;-)
