Serve up these classic crepes on holiday mornings or weekends! They are filled with whipped Greek yogurt then topped with honey, berries and chopped pecans for a wholesome twist on a sweet French treat.
This past week we celebrated my son’s birthday.
To celebrate, I prepared this special breakfast along with a poem.
Enjoy, friends~
For the boy who was born during a storm
He came on the day and suddenly the winds were blown away
He brought life where there was strife
For he came early in the morn
And there my heart took form
Was an angel born?
For I am no longer forlorn
A love never to be torn
He brought strength for the weak
For he is so very wise
And he taught there is no compromise
He brought a smile
For those early days were so long
And now I see why they were worthwhile
He has allowed me to look back with a smile
How would I ever know the glow
Of a heart that has overflowed with the joy
For the love of a baby boy
