At SheKnows Food, we spend a lot of time reading about — you guessed it — food (and drinks too!). And we’ve come across some stories that are too good to not share. Here are the food items from the week that you don’t want to miss.
1. The question isn’t why would you want a keyboard waffle iron, it’s why wouldn’t you?
Round waffles? Yawn. Square waffles? Double yawn. Keyboard-shaped waffles? Now we’re talking. Because as Delish so astutely pointed out, this particular shape is a dream come true for syrup lovers. Just look at all those cavities waiting to be filled with melted butter and maple goodness. — Delish
2. Attention: There are bananas that taste like ice cream
Today in fruit news that makes us want to move to Hawaii: ice cream bananas (also known as blue java bananas). These magical bananas have hints of vanilla and are sweeter, fluffier and creamier than our usual boring bananas, giving them an ice cream-like resemblance. They’re available in tropical climates, but if you’re stuck in one of the contiguous 48 states, we suggest just eating banana ice cream. We won’t judge. — The Huffington Post

3. Pancake selfies? Why not?
We’re a world obsessed with selfies, as proven by the selfie stick, the selfie spoon and now, pancake selfies. That’s right… your face on a hotcake. Holiday Inn Express is behind this latest selfie gimmick, and it’s rolling around in a food truck through September, putting your mug on flapjacks. Why the hell not? — Foodbeast
4. Of course someone made a Pope Francis pizza
Whether or not an event has anything to do with food, we can always find a way to make it about food. Proof: Bleecker Street Pizza in New York commemorated Pope Francis’ visit with his likeness on a pie. It took Chef Tony Salihaj three hours to complete this masterpiece, but we think it was well worth the time. Just look at that detail. — New York Post

Ditch the blue box, and try some of these drool-worthy ideas. Even a quick breadcrumb treatment will give you an instant flavor boost. — PopSugar

If the Pumpkin Spice Latte isn’t quite doing it for you, add a few pumps of Toasted Graham syrup, and suddenly you’re drinking a pumpkin pie. Get ’em while you can… the syrup will be available for only a limited time. — Refinery29
