The King and I

Posted on March 9, 2011 by Erica

The peanut butter and banana sandwich is often referred to as the Elvis because it\’s known that Elvis ate many peanut butter and banana sandwiches. \”The Elvis\” is a highly nutritional sandwich, and over the weekend I put a different spin on it creating \”The Elvis Stuffed French Toast!

Peanut Butter & Banana French Toast
(makes three sandwiches)
Ingredients
6 slices of bread
2 eggs
splash of milk
Peanut Butter
1.5 bananas

Directions
• Pre-heat your griddle
• Spread peanut butter on three slices of bread
• Cut your bananas up into slices and lay onto the peanut butter covered bread
• Place a slice of bread on top of each peanut butter and banana bread and press firmly.
• Mix the eggs and milk together.
• Dip each stuffed french toast into the egg mixture and place onto the griddle and then sprinkle with cinnamon
• Cook on each side until desired color.

{from left to right Bluetylicious, East Side Envy, I Lilac Nothin’, So Much Melon Drama, Baby Blue‐mers and Butter‐Me‐Up}

Dashing Diva\’s Urban Bloom contains six glamourous colors that definitely have me thinking spring.

{So Much Melon Drama}

• So Much Melon Drama is a pink/coral creme and is the perfect color for spring. *Remember coral, peach and oranges are hot for spring* This shade is definitely a feminine shade and is my favorite hue in the collection. This color will be great for a brunch with the girls.

{I Lilac Nothin\’}

• I Lilac Nothin’ is a lilac creme. This color is very feminine and is a fabulous shade for a spring time garden party. This could possibly be the hue that I base my Easter outfit around.

{Bluetylicious}

• Bluetylicious is a medium sea blue. I don\’t tend to wear blue on my fingers however you can usually find blue on my toes during the summer. Out of all the blues that I own I think this one is \”it\”. The perfect color for laying out poolside.

{East Side Envy}

• East Side Envy is a yellowish green base with yellow shimmer. Usually I am not a huge fan of green, but this one is definitely gorgeous. Wear this to your next party and everyone will be green with envy.

{Baby Blue mers}

• Baby Blue mers is a pale blue with silver shimmer. Think fourth of July barbecue\’s or a boat getaway this polish would definitely be the star.

{Butter Me Up}

• Butter‐Me‐Up is a gorgeous light butter yellow that has a heavy yellow/gold shimmer. This color is definitely a great shimmery polish for any wedding. I am thinking this color would look great on a bride or any guest.

My thoughts on the collection
I actually LOVED every single one of the colors in this collection. I can actually think of events that I would wear each color to. Not to mention Butter Me Up is now my go to color for weddings, when I want the extra glam look. I Lilac Nothin’ now has me dreaming up a garden party.

What colors are you loving from this collection?
