What could go better with a morning latte than some crepes? I was inspired to make my own after eating the delicious crepes at Capriccio Cafe in Destin and seeing all the amazing sweet and savory options. The crepe filling options are almost unlimited. All you need is a basic crepe recipe. Oh, and a crepe pan is really helpful.
I love breakfast. But it’s one of those meals that is so easy to shove off to the side when I’m in a hurry to get out the door for work and I feel like I’m already behind. Problem is, when the morning starts off in crisis mode, the whole day tends to follow that pattern, for me at least. There’s something cathartic crafting a breakfast experience that’s a little outside the norm and that forces a pause in the morning before the chaos begins. Of course, that requires a little effort and planning to pull off mid-week, but maybe that’s a discipline I need a little more of!
Almost every morning, I try to have breakfast. For me, not only does it set the nutritional tone of the day, but it also has an impact on the day’s flow. I don’t know exactly why, or if it’s just unique to me, but I find that if I’m rushed and frazzled through my breakfast routine, falling back on a few go-to items that I’m too hurried to enjoy, then I tend toward a more erratic day, almost as though a ripple effect is taking place. That’s not to say that I can’t overcome it, I can. It’s more of an observation, really.
One of my favorite breakfasts is pancakes, especially after an early long run on Saturday morning. Even then though, I’m not fired up about all the processed and refined flour, so I’ve been experimenting with other options for my pancake fix. Here’s my latest creation using spelt flour (made to server me and 3 hungry children, you can decrease or increase proportionately).
