This morning, I felt a little daring, so I decided to finally try the recipe for Crepes from Veganomicon. I’ve been wanting to make my own crepes for a while now, but was always too afraid that they’d be a complete failure. Well I proved myself wrong today! My crepes came out absolutely perfect, and I had one of the best “desserts for breakfasts” ever! I stuffed my crepe with hot bananas and almond butter, and topped it all off with warm chocolate syrup, maple syrup, and powdered sugar. I also sprinkled some slivered almonds on top.. WOW was this decadent! The almond butter and bananas were pipping hot, and the chocolate syrup made it even more unbelievably good.
I also made my mom a similar crepe for breakfast, but I stuffed hers with bananas and peanut butter instead of almond butter. With a fanned out strawberry on the side!
My grandfather’s 83rd birthday was yesterday, so today, I might be going out to dinner with him and my mom. Possibly a trip to either Gobo, Angelica Kitchen, or Candle Cafe again. If not tonight, he will be getting a special birthday dinner soon! I don’t really have much planned today, but I don’t mind considering all I’ve been doing this whole week is running around and waking up early. A girl needs her rest!

I’ve decided to buy Vegan with a Vengance and Veganomicon from Amazon.com!! I can’t wait for them to come and to start cooking!

My dream is to open up a breakfast/dessert cafe in the future!
And you wont be disappointed, those are two of my favorite Vegan cookbooks!

Oh, Erica, you always have the most decadent and yummy looking breakfasts I’ve ever seen!
YUMMY! I’ve been wanting to take a stab at making crepes, too, so I’m glad to hear that yours came out well. :)
I’ll be first in line if you ever do open up a cafe, for sure! ;-)

Wow! I keep seeing crepes on a bunch of vegan blogs…I just might have to make them myself soon! You have the most amazing breakfasts. I wish I could eat like that everyday =]

Hi Erica,
I have loved reading your posts…both breakfast’s and the more savory meals. You are so young and knowledgeable about food! I also would love to have a breakfast/dessert place in the future, especially as a chocoholic my entire life. Check out my new blog, I am new to the vegan world and am going to try it out for a while and see how it makes me feel. I also wrote about a trip to Candle with my sister…can’t wait to return in a few weeks!
ciao.

What is your blog URL? I’d love to read!

Your breakfasts always look just as good, if not BETTER than those you’d order in a fancy restaurant. YUM.

This is totally a random, un-food related question (probably because I’m sitting at work and reading your gorgeous blog), but are you working this summer?
PS. you are a wonderful cook!

Evan - I certainly plan on it! I’m writing up my application to a store as we speak. And thank you!

Your breakfasts really inspire me to go and put a little bit more effort into my own! I love how it looks.
