For the past four years, my New Year’s Resolution has been to eat healthier. I resolve to eat salads and limit my junk food intake. (Potato chips = love.) My resolution is wrecked by January 1. This year, however, things will be different… I think. This year I will have my best friend and trusty side cook in the hellth food business with me. Together we will explore the wonders of cooking and baking healthy and slightly organic foods.
Today we cooked our first meal – Ultra- Thin Breakfast Crepes with Fresh Blueberry Syrup (creative title.)
Our yummy and slightly organic ingredients!
With our ingredients all set out, Cauli Flower and I embarked on our first journey. The blueberry syrup was up first. Mixing blueberries, honey, and lemon juice, we created a wonderful and delicious syrup that we would drizzle over our crepes.

After two eggs and a tidge of salt, and much whisking of flour, then milk, then flour, then milk, and so on, our crepe batter was prepared to be sent to the stove. Our very first crepe turned out perfectly!
Thumbs up!
Who knew that the Reluctant Veggie Girl and Cauli Flower could cook? We certainly didn’t. However, our cooking skills today proved us wrong. It’s nice to know that when we should live on our own someday, we won’t starve or gain weight by consuming only tv dinners and potato chips. With today’s breakfast of crepes we used blueberry syrup rather than maple syrup, and added a dollup of Greek yogurt in place of whipped cream. To top it all off, raspberries for a finishing touch!
Voila!
As any chef knows, appearance is everything. Our crepes did not just need to look yummy, they tasted delicious! Our first victims were the super Nahnah and amazing Aunt Cassie. Cauli Flower and I also tried our creation, and were astounded by the yumminess of it all!
Well now it is time to go run. Reluctant Veggie Girl and Cauli Flower will be back soon, ready to take on the world and rid society of unhealthy food!
