This decadent breakfast recipe comes from The Craftsman Bed & Breakfast in Pacific City, Oregon. It's the B&B's signature breakfast dish. According to the innkeepers, "A popular New Orleans dish, it combines bananas, vanilla ice cream, rum, butter and sugar. Our version excludes the rum and ice cream, but we add pecans." Enjoy!
