Elvis died 45 years ago today at age 42. FORTY-TWO. Wrap your head around that. It’s wild to think that if he didn’t pass back in 1977, today he’d be 87. He could conceivably still be recording and performing*** Look at Tony Bennett, he was duetting with Lady Gaga up until 95! Randomly placing thisContinue reading The Presley Family Cookbook: Elvis’ Green Eagle Dish with Eggs (1989)
Howdy ho, partners! It’s Wiener Wednesday! It is also 3 days to the 5th Annual Cowboy Day Cookalong hosted by our friends at Recipes4Rebels. So today’s post is in celebration of both hot dogs and cowboys. And Elvis. LOGIC: Elvis played a cowboy in multiple movies. In the film Loving You he sings–I shit you not–a songContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: The Elvis Dog (Cowboy Day!)
Saturday is Cowboy Day! And to celebrate, Greg over at Recipes4Rebels coordinated the 3rd Cowboy Day Cook-Along. I couldn’t find an actual “cowboy” dish, but I use the term “cowboy” loosely and I’ll take inspiration where I find it. So I selected a dish from Are You Hungry Tonight? Elvis’ Favorite Recipes, which is aContinue reading Cowboy Day Cook-Along: Elvis Presley’s Quick Chicken Supper Skillet
It’s the end of summer, but it’s the return of Dinner is Served 1972! Yeah, I’ve been neglecting the blog, life just got in the way, know what I mean? As you may have noticed, there are new ads on the site, but for good reason–I want to make some cash off this puppy! AndContinue reading 124. Macaroni, Tomato and Cheese Bake (1973) ft. Elvis’ Rice Pudding
Happy Elvis Day, my friends! Today Elvis would have been 80. That totally blows my mind. Frank Sinatra died at 82 and performed and recorded almost right to the very end. Tony Bennett is frickin’ 88 and just released an album with Lady Gaga. Just think of what Elvis might be doing right now hadContinue reading The Sandwich: Happy Birthday, Elvis!
Hello, friends! Today’s post is rather fitting for Martin Luther King Day—Dr. King was quite the influence on Elvis Presley; it was MLK’s death only two months prior to the NBC broadcast of Elvis (a.k.a. the 1968 Comeback Special) that inspired “If I Can Dream,” the closing number.  In fact, direct quotes from Dr. King are included in theContinue reading Elvis’ Country Kitchen Soup & Mustard Greens with Potatoes (Southern Style)
There is an old, greasy spoon 24-hour diner in Pittsburgh called Ritter’s that was a regular stop for me when I was in college. I absolutely adored this place: me and my friends would spend a long time there just drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes. Why I love Ritter’s: The food is good. The foodContinue reading Presley Family Fried Green Tomatoes
