I have gathered a few recipes which either have his name or were actually favorites of his and also offer some of the Southern recipes he surely spent much of his life eating daily. Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Breaded Chicken Livers, Ham Hocks with Pinto Beans and Blackberry Pie, Elvis grew up with and enjoyed throughout his life.     Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich 3 tablespoons peanut butter 2 slices light bread 1 banana, mashed 2 tablespoons margarine, melted Mix soft peanut butter and mashed banana together. Toast bread lightly. Spread peanut butter and mashed banana on toast. Place into melted margarine; brown on both sides.     Ham Bone Dumplings 1 large ham bone or leftover ham 2 quarts water salt and pepper Dumplings 2 1/2 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup Crisco shortening 1 cup cold water Simmer ham bone in water for 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Combine dumpling ingredients to make dough. Add more flour if needed to make dough easy to handle. Place dough on floured board and roll very thin. Cut dough into small pieces and drop into pot with ham. Cook about 20 - 25 minutes more.     Baked Apple And Sweet Potato Pudding 4 large sweet potatoes 3 medium apples 1 cup water 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon apple pie spice 1/2 cup butter -- melted 1/2 teaspoon vanilla graham cracker crumbs Wash; peel sweet potatoes and apples.
