Yogurt Berry Crepes

"The thing her smile does in my heart, the same thing light does in the dark." - Elliott Park, She Is

I can see it, people! The light at the end of the tunnel! I just turned in one of my biggest projects for my master's program and now I'm determined to coast through until the end of June when they hand me my degree and my certification.

Aside from classes and finishing up my student teaching, the biggest thing on my mind now is getting a job. Being someone who suffers from anxiety and overthinking, you can imagine that I'm losing a big of sleep over this. I don't even know what state I want to work in let alone what county or school. I'm in the process of interviewing with counties in Virginia and Maryland, but I sure will be glad to accept and offer and relax a bit. Is it crazy that I'm afraid to get an offer too soon? I'll feel like I'm buying the first house I see! Oh well, I guess we'll all just have to wait and see if anyone even wants me...

Yogurt & Berry Crepes

Crepe recipe adapted from Smitten Kitchen

Crepes

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter, melt and then cool slightly

• 1/2 cup milk (I used almond milk)

• 2 large eggs

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

• two pinches salt

• a pinch ground nutmeg

• 2 tbsp honey

1. Combine crepe ingredients in blender and blend until completely incorporated. Cover and refrigerate for one hour (up to two days).

2. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease pan (I sprayed a light coat of Pam and didn’t re-spray before each Crepe)

3. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto skillet, swirling so you cover the entire pan. Allow to cook until bottom and top are set, flip and continue to cook for five more minutes or until evenly cooked.

Berry Filling

Ingredients:

• 1 cup berries (mixed blueberry and raspberry)

• Juice half a lemon

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

• 2 tsp honey

• 1 tbsp unsalted butter (I used coconut oil)

1. Melt butter in small skillet over medium heat. Add berries and stir until warm (about 3-5 minutes). The raspberries will dissolve and become the sauce while the berries will hold their shape.

2. Add honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and toss. Turn off heat and let sit. Cover with foil to keep warm if you will not be using the mixture right away.

To Assemble:

1. Lay crepe flat on plate.

2. Spoon a small amount of plain Greek yogurt in a line down the center.

3. Spoon some berries with a little sauce over yogurt. Fold crepe.

4. Drizzle top of crepe with syrup from berry mixture and honey. Serve and enjoy.
