Easy Strawberry Vanilla Vegan Crepes

After the crazy first week of college that I’ve had, I could use a batch of these deliciously light crepes. Hi! It’s been a while, I know. Quick update: I have since relocated to Philadelphia.

It’s D-Day for my mother’s vegetable garden. It’s that wonderful time of year when everything is ready for harvesting. This week, we have homegrown spinach, carrots and onions gracing the pantry.
