crèpes!

Just wasn't feeling like cereal this morning (ok ok! afternoon) so as the coffee brewed I searched my cabinets and fridge for something else to have for breakfast...

eggs? no...  french toast or pancakes? no syrup... bagel? meh... yogurt? maybe... crèpes?! YES!

Now I have never made crèpes before. Ever. Never seen anyone (except on TV) make crèpes. Never tried to make them. But for some reason this morning I was inspired to try!

I got out my little iPhone and started googlin'

I used the first recipe I came across (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/basic-crepes/detail.aspx) added a little vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and freshly grated nutmeg and started crèpe-in!

I was surprised how easy it was! My pan was a little big but that's ok. They didn't need to be perfect. I halved the recipe above and ended up with 4 crèpes...perfect serving for the two of us. 

When the crèpes were done I filled them with pomegranate blueberry yogurt à la Dannon light and fit and fresh slices of banana then topped them with a little powdered sugar and a dusting on cinnamon and...

voilà!

HOW GOOD DO THOSE LOOK!?!

I was practically squealing when I finished these and was taking pictures! I'm awfully proud of myself, not only for making something new (and kind of intimidating) but mostly for making something from scratch out of my pantry without having planned it!

My mother and sister will understand what an accomplishment this is for me.

I hope this inspires you to dive into your fridge and pantry and come up with something fun and new to make. Make a crèpe! They're so easy! 

with love and (hopefully!) inspiration, 

Katie

btw these were absolutely DELICIOUS! I told Joe "Now that I know how to make crepes we can move to Paris!" haha!
