Strawberry Crepes

Strawberry Crepes

Here we are staring down Mother’s Day weekend and strawberry crepes. How did that happen? Wasn’t it just New Years Day and weren’t we just focused on eating healthy?

Even weirder: not only are we staring down Mother’s Day weekend but this is my THIRD Mother’s Day as a mom with a child on this side of the belly. How is that possible? Wasn’t Goose born like 2 days ago? (Insert even more cliches about the passage of time and parenthood here.)

Since I became a Mommy, my husband has made it a tradition to make me a fancy breakfast each year. Not that this is different from most weekend days as he is the chief cooker of breakfast in our house each weekend. He is responsible for coming up with banana bread waffles, gluten free chocolate waffles, and so many other delish breakfasts. However, on Mother’s Day, he puts a very large eggshell somewhere on the plate to make it known that Goose helped. This year, Goose actually does like to “help” in the kitchen so I anticipate more than one eggshell.

Thank goodness. Because I am a hot mess in the morning. Seriously. Even as I write this at 8 am, which is not early by most people’s standards, I’m sitting here slurping my coffee and trying to stay on task.

But really, I’m mostly slurping coffee and waiting for my brain to shake off the cobwebs. Because mornings…

Well back to these crepes. I love a good crepe like my chocolate cheesecake crepes. However, I’ve been craving fresh strawberries lately and I adore fruity crepes like these strawberry crepes. When I mentioned my strawberry hankering to my husband, he suggested strawberry crepes.

I agreed and he whipped these little delights up. And believe me they are super delightful. The crepes are light and sweet with a hint of vanilla. And the strawberry filling? Just stop it. Seriously. My husband doesn’t even like fruit filling but he ate these happily. The strawberry filling was the perfect mix of juicy, sweet, and just a little tart. Mmmmmm. The perfect special brunch for Mother’s Day.
