12 Down Home Recipes Elvis Would Love

January 21, 2015 by FaveSouthernRecipes

Elvis Presley’s birthday was Jan. 8. He would have been 80 years old. Elvis has meant a lot of things to a lot of people since he rose to fame, but although he was the King on the road, at home he was just Elvis. His best friend and manager Joe Esposito said that no matter your status, Elvis would greet you the same way when you first met him. He’d shake your hand and say, “Hello, I’m Elvis Presley,” as if you didn’t know. That’s the down-home kind of person he was.

Elvis loved home life, too, and his home, Graceland, is just as iconic as he is. No matter how rich and famous he became, Elvis still loved the food he grew up with best of all. He loved simple southern cooking like collared greens, and decadent, rich foods like his all-time favorite: banana and peanut butter sandwiches. (If you’re a true Elvis fan, I bet you already knew that!)
