Crepe Week: Foolproof Crepes
Happy Crepe Week!
There is so much to do/celebrate/eat this week, it’s hard to know what to make! Lunar New Year, Super Bowl, and the upcoming Valentine’s Day… But my favorite day lands smack dab in the middle of them all – February 2: La Chandeleur! This special French day translates directly as Candlemas, but is colloquially referred to as crepe day. A real, official day devoted to eating your weight in crepes! (Ok, maybe not quite that much, but I’ll take any excuse to eat crepe after crepe). And so, it must begin with some foolproof crepes.
Vegan Raspberry Lemon Bars
On cold, dreary rainy/snowy/icy winter days, I almost always crave chocolate. That sort of weather and mood makes me want the richest, most decadent dark chocolate. But then there are those other winter days where I end up dreaming about summertime, or wanting something a little bit lighter to pair with the rare PNW sunny day. Craving a fruit and real food heavy dessert, I made some vegan raspberry lemon bars. With these around, my chocolate cravings have disappeared.
Sweet Potato Quinoa Burrito Bowl
Fun fact: I don’t like burritos. I do, however, like tacos, nachos, quesadillas, sopes and… burrito BOWLS. I don’t have a clue why, but put a burrito in a bowl, and I will eat it all up. Another thing I like, are super filling dishes that make you feel good when you eat it. And with the quinoa and sweet potatoes in this dish, you’ll be left feeling so satisfied. The sweet potato quinoa burrito bowl is pretty easy to make, too.
Butternut Squash, Leek & Mushroom Hash
When it’s cold and rainy and snowy, I always crave things that are hearty, warming and nourshing. Sometimes that means a dish that’s healthy, and other times it’s something that is a bit less healthy. Luckily, I would peg this as being on the “healthy” side of the spectrum. I threw together this butternut squash, leek & mushroom hash completely based on what vegetables I felt like eating, and it turns out, it was success!
