Whole Wheat Crepes

Since we always have breakfast for dinner on Sunday's I decided to introduce my kids to the delicious taste of crepes. Oh they were in heaven. Dinner has long since been cleaned up and my poor little 2 year old is still walking around saying "more, more crepes pleases?" This healthy version of crepes taste the same as any crepe I had before we started eating better! I love how easy it is to make a recipe healthy without noticing any change in the taste. Recipe modified from 100 days of real food.. Ideas for crepe toppings/fillings are fruit spread (pictured), pure maple, peanut butter, any kind of fruit etc..

-3 organic eggs
-1 cup rice milk or other non dairy milk
-1 cup whole wheat flour (I use fresh ground white wheat)
-3/4 cup water
-1 tablespoon coconut oil (plus more for greasing pan)
-1 tablespoon honey
-1 teaspoon pure vanilla
-1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Put all ingredients in blender and mix well. Let stand about 15 minutes.Use some coconut oil to grease a crepe pan or an 8 or 10-inch frying pan over medium heat. Pour a small amount of batter in the pan, just enough to thinly cover the bottom. After it starts to bubble around the edges, carefully flip it over without tearing the crepe. Fry for about 1 more minute on the other side and then roll up each crepe and serve with desired topping.

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls (bread machine)

This year is the first year we've ever attempted a garden. I had no idea I would end up with at least 2 zucchinis a day!

Southwest Stuffed Bell Peppers

I've tried a few stuffed pepper recipes, but I hadn't found one I liked enough to post on here until now. This one was awesome! My husband has declared it his new favorite dinner. Unfortunately, he likes it really spicy and it's much too spicy for my toddlers to eat which means I have to whip up something else for them. This recipe makes enough to fill 4 peppers but since it's just my husband and I eating them I usually stuff only 3 peppers and put the remaining mixture in the casserole dish with the peppers. Recipe inspired by a spoonful of sisters and modified slightly to our liking. -4 bell peppers most prefer red, orange, or yellow but we like them all! -olive oil -1/2 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa -1 onion, diced -3 garlic cloves, minced -3oz can of green chilies -1 can organic black beans, drained and rinsed -1 cup frozen corn kernels -2 green onions, chopped -1/2-1 teaspoons chipotle chili powder depending on how much spice you like -1 teasp...
