Crepes….they’re awesome. I don’t eat them often, but whenever I do, I am reminded of how comforting and delicious they are.
This morning, it was snowing, I was freezing, and I had a random craving for crepes. I haven’t gone to the grocery store lately, and I am really low on fruit right now. I looked in my fridge. I saw that I had kale and artichoke hearts, and got my creative brain thinking.
Savory Crepes? Well, that sounded ridiculously yummy. Yes, I would make savory vegan crepes. Now what….
Well, I love spinach and artichoke dip, so why not create a filling using kale, artichokes, and my recent favorite: Tahini with a drizzle of honey and lemon?
These sounded amazing in my head… now to execute.
The verdict? OMG AMAZING. How do I know? My fiancé Keith ate them ALL. Every last bite.
Normally he will taste my “healthy” recipes, appreciate them, and even admit that they are really tasty! Then he will ask me to make him pigs in a blanket…(it’s a work in progress)
The fact that he not only liked these, but LOVED these got me really excited!!!
