French Crepes and Scrambled Tofu

A mother is cooking breakfast for her two young boys one morning, and they begin to argue about who was going to get the first pancake. The mother, in all her maternal wisdom, turns to them and says, "guys you know if Jesus were here, He would say give my brother the first pancake; I can wait." The brothers look at each other and the older finally says to the youngest, "Ian you be Jesus!" Funny but this post isn't about pancakes since those are not on our breakfast menu these days. However, I do have a great crepe recipe for the kiddies to thumb wrestle over.

Hopefully your fast is going great so far. If the meals aren't going so well for you, perhaps you can add a little French cuisine to satisfy your pallet. These crepes are light and refreshing when paired with a sauce made from your favorite fruit. I made them one morning with scrambled tofu. Oh, what a meal! I prefer my crepes with a little crunch around the edges with big chunks of fungi or gala apple sauced and drizzled over the top. Hungry yet? Well let's get started!
