Drinking a Peanut Butter Smoothie Instead of an Energy Drink

Go to the gym more, be more productive, finish that screenplay... All of these resolutions require energy. Instead of getting an extra energy boost from those fizzy, fluorescent drinks from skinny cans, what about a peanut butter smoothie? Ever had peanut butter in liquid form?

Sunday Brunch: Banana Bread

We have all had the experience of getting ready to head out to the grocery store and suddenly noticing the bunch of bananas sitting on the counter that has gone brown and wrinkly. Those bananas may not work as a breakfast you toss into a bag before you run out the door, but they have reached the perfect stage to go into banana bread.

Banana-Stuffed French Toast from Zaftigs in Brookline, MA

It's pretty well known that most people who crowd this Coolidge Corner institution for weekend brunch aren't here for bagels and lox or pastrami sandwiches. They're here for the short-order house specialty: banana-stuffed French toast ($9.95).

A Sandwich a Day: Banana Nutella from Olympic Provisions in Portland, OR

Olympic Provisions is a Portland hot spot for charcuterie. Salumist Elias Cairo is a master of all things cured and smoked, and many of the charcuterie plates in town use their products. (We took a behind-the-scenes tour of their meat department last year). The sandwiches are some of the best in Portland and although many are porky and strictly for carnivores, this particular one is actually targeted to the Montessori school down the street.

My Latest Obsession: Baby Bananas

When not eating for work, I tend to rely on the same foods over and over—eggs, chickpeas, bananas. Lots of bananas. I find them more satisfying than most other fruit, a little more substantial; I love that creamy sweetness when they're perfectly ripe. But ever since I spotted mini-bananas at a fruit stand in Chinatown, I've been buying them up like crazy; once I've gone mini, I've never gone back.

Celebrate Elvis's 76th Birthday with His PB-Bacon-Banana Sandwich

This Saturday, January 8, would have been Elvis Presley's 76th birthday. And while Elvis is primarily known for being one of the greatest entertainers of the twentieth century, we can't ignore his sandwich—the one with peanut butter, banana, and bacon all smashed together.

Video: Cat in a Banana Split Costume Eating a Banana

What's better than watching a cat eat a banana? Watching a cat dressed as a banana (covered in ice cream) while eating a banana. (The costume should look familiar to you—Dumpling wore the same one earlier this week!)

Video: Japanese Banana Commercials

When I think of banana commercials, the only thing that comes to my mind is the Chiquita Banana version. But in Japan, there are lots, lots more. Involving dancing kids wearing yellow suits. And a guy who sprouts bananas out of his head. And kids crying banana tears. Stuff like that.

Have You Ever Seen a Double Banana?

[Photograph: Telegraph] Many of you have seen double egg yolks, but what about a double banana? Telegraph reports about a man who found a double banana at his local supermarket (slow news day, perhaps). I had never seen one before, and I've eaten many bananas in my life, but a search for "double banana" on Flickr came up with lots of results. Have you ever seen a double banana?...
