I have never been a fan of big breakfasts on the weekends unless I am the one doing the cooking…only because my husband tends to use every pan/dish in the kitchen (is this normal or just something my husband does?) and then it takes me all morning to clean it up. Don't get me wrong, I don’t mind doing the cleaning when he does the cooking because he is very good about doing the cleaning when I do the cooking, but I try to do some cleaning as I cook so he doesn’t have too many dishes. We usually have plans on the weekends and I am in too much of a hurry to spend time cleaning. However, lately I have been trying to relax, and seize the day more often so I have given in to his new Saturday morning tradition of fixing homemade crepes and bacon. Ok, so it has only been two weeks in a row, but he is going to make it a tradition…especially since Jaxon told him he made the best breakfast ever, and that he was the best dad ever!
Anyway, I thought I would share some pictures with y’all since he did such a great job this weekend. He made regular crepes for us and gluten free crepes for Jaxon. I will have to say that the bacon didn’t make it to the table… I think being in charge of too many things at once was a little overwhelming for him. I started the bacon and he said, “go sit down honey and let me do this…” against my better judgment I did what he said…and here is our breakfast!

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour (We used Bob's Red Mills Gluten Free All Purpose Flour for Jaxon's)
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.
