So before I inevitably start my New Year's pledge to rid my body of all the debauchery I consumed during the holiday season I just had to make one more thing. It's been brewing in my brain for awhile - Elvis Pie.
Peanut butter pie is my thing. We all have that thing. You know, the one thing that everyone asks you to bring to an event because they love it so much. I wanted to put a spin on my thing, make it different because quite frankly I am sick and tired of my thing. Tell my your thing in the comments!
With not a lot of time and not a lot of extra things I came up with this Elvis Pie. He famously was addicted to peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Strike that, he was famously addicted to FRIED peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Some say they had bacon in them, while others say they were merely fried in the bacon grease.
Either way, you can't really go wrong with bacon, now can you? I decided that bacon grease probably wasn't the best thing for an actual pie, so I pulled out my Wildtree Smoky Bacon Grapeseed Oil.
I imagined this beautiful pie with perfectly caramelized banana chips arranged just right, but common sense told me I was headed towards a big Pinterest Fail. I really didn't want a ton of bananas in this, just enough to give you the taste. Plus I was short on time. Plus I have the patience of a toddler, so here's what I came up with. Not the most beautiful pie in the world, but let me tell you this: You will understand why Elvis was addicted to these flavors!
Ingredients:
Pie Filling
1 Cup Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter
1 1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Package Cream Cheese
8 ounces of Cool Whip or make your own.
Banana Filling
3 Bananas
1/3 Cup Sugar
1 Teaspoon Wildtree Smoky Bacon Grapeseed Oil
Crust
For this one I just bought the pre made Oreo crust from my local grocery store. I was running short on time, remember? I do usually make my own, and if you have more than an hour to throw a pie together I use this recipe.
Method of Preparation:
I started with my bananas so they could cool slightly before adding the peanut butter mixture. Cut your bananas into chips sized pieces, and then mix them with the sugar in a bowl.
Add your Smoky Bacon Grapeseed Oil to a non-stick skillet, and heat until it's scorching hot. Grapeseed oil has an incredibly high smoke point, so it's perfect for this. Add your bananas to the skillet and stir, stir, stir. As they fry they will start to caramelize and fall apart. This is what you want! I know they say you eat with your eyes, but this will be on the bottom. It will also be so good that people won't care what it looks like.
If you are a patient person you could also just gently flip each one until they are fried to a beautiful golden goodness. God bless you if you can do that!
It'll take about 3-4 minutes. Add the bananas to your pie crust, and put in the freezer to set while you make your peanut butter filling. It should look like this:
On to the peanut butter pie filling! I use a stand mixer, but you could use a hand mixer too. I start by creaming my cream cheese for about 30 seconds. Add in your extra crunchy peanut butter and mix until combined. Slowly add the powered sugar to avoid a white Christmas in your kitchen. Mix until combined.
Add in Cool Whip/Whipped cream and beat for at least 2 minutes.

Our system will be down from December 26th-January 4th because they are completely updating our site! We will now have the full functionality to do our business completely from our phones. How cool is that?
Speaking of business, if you'd like to know more about Wildtree shoot me an email or leave a message in the comments! Unlike other direct sales companies January is a rockin' month for us! Wildtree is organic products made to help you tame dinner.
Wildtree will have 65% of their products certified #glutenfree and 88% of their products certified #organic by the end of the year! Here are the FAQ's about my Wildtree Business!
Questions You May Have About the Wildtree Business Opportunity
1. Exactly how much does it cost for me to become a representative? For only $49.99 + shipping you will have all the samples you need to do your first 8-10 tastings, plus full size products! The products are yours to keep- so there is absolutely no risk in giving Wildtree a test-drive! The commission that you will receive for your first 1st tasting will exceed your investment, and at that point if Wildtree is not a “fit,” you can eat your kit!
2. How much am I paid? As a new rep, you will make a minimum 25% and up to 32%, based on your sales volume in that month. As a Team Leader (which many new reps do within their first 8 weeks), you will receive 40% on your own sales, plus 12% on the sales volume of any reps you sponsor and 7% on everyone they sponsor. We have one of the most generous compensation plan of any direct sales company. You will find this business to be quite lucrative.
3. How is this different from other home shows? We offer a product that everyone needs, yet no other direct sales company has: an all-natural product line that tastes great, is economical, is easy to use, and offers a multitude of meal solutions. The greatest benefit to being a rep for Wildtree is that our delicious products are soon consumed by your customers, meaning they will come back asking for more!
4. Are there regular meetings I must attend? While there are meetings available to you, they are by no means mandatory. Meetings are provided as a service to you, helping you to build the most successful business possible.
5. Is it easy to get bookings? Bookings come very easily because Wildtree shows are fun and provide all guests with something valuable: solutions for the age-old questions…”What is for dinner? How can I make it quick and healthy?” Guests want to in turn share this with their friends. I typically get 1-3 bookings off of each show. Offering the Freezer Meal concept also increases your bookings. People just love the concept of putting ten meals in their freezer all at once.
6. How do I get my first tastings lined up? The best place to start is with a double launch at your home! When your friends and family members taste our great products and realize how Wildtree can help them, they will want to host a show. The bookings you get from your launch will segue into more bookings after those shows are held.
<p><p>I am not a “Sales Person”. None of us are! Our purpose is to share a concept that is long-overdue. Food should be delicious, natural, easy to prepare, and economical. We provide meal ideas and recipes that will hopefully be of benefit to our guests and their families. Your enthusiasm and the products will speak loud and clear.</p><p> </p></p>
8. I am short on time! Most of us are. That is why I would never work any other business! I work only the hours that I chose and take as much time off as I choose. A Wildtree tasting only takes a few hours. Because we do office tastings, in-home tastings, Freezer Meal Workshops, and more, most people find no trouble finding something that works into their schedule.
9. How will I be trained? Your training will be primarily online – utilizing our “BASIC TRAINING SERIES”. You may also shadow a rep at a live tasting, and of course be trained via phone by me. Live conference calls are also offered weekly by our home office training team for a unique perspective as well as advanced training for those who wish to kick their business up a notch.
10. Do I have to keep inventory on hand? Absolutely not. Orders are sent directly to customers at each tasting. The only time inventory is helpful is when participating in a fair or expo. That said, the easiest way to work this business is through tastings or Freezer Meal Workshops.
11. Are there monthly sales quotas I must meet? None! How refreshing to work your business at your pace!
12. When can I start to sponsor other representatives? Immediately, and you will want to do so as soon as possible! With no territories and so few reps nation-wide, you will want to share this business with everyone! So many people are looking for additional income on a schedule of their choosing. The rewards for helping other consultants to build a successful business are great! When you have something so great you won’t want to keep it to yourself.
