Finally! I am on maternity leave, 36 weeks now and at home. I had a busy week with Ely and doctor's appointment etc. And I have been riding an emotinal rollercoaster. On Wednesday, I found out that baby Sophia is breech. I cried, blamed my husband (for him not being more supportive or stressing me out or whatever the reason I could find... heck for his hairy chest if that works!) Today is Sunday and I am calmer and more grounded. Of course I called my mother and she did the magic again. She is such Buddhist with her attitude of whatever happens, happens, you just have to face and accept it. She helped me ground myself and remind myself what is most important. My mother is so powerful. And I wonder if I will ever be so powerful and grounding to my daughters as my mother is to me. I look at my daughter and feeling the baby inside of me, I wonder how they will see me in 20 years. Will I be their comfort? Will they call me when they face life's difficulty? Will I be able to comfort them as my mother does me? I hope I will.
So this week, what I needed was a very comforting breakfast. Flour, eggs, chocolate spread and strawberries do it for me.
Nutella strawberry crepe:
1 cup of flour
1 & 1/4 cup of milk
1 egg
1/4 tsp salt
Oil for the pan
Nutella
Strawberries
Mix all the ingredients except oil with a whisk or in a blender until smooth.
Heat nonstick pan, skillet or crepe pan (if you have one).
When the pan is heated, brush oil all over.
The pan needs to be pretty hot.
Pour about 1/4 cup batter and tilt the pan so that the batter covers the bottom of the pan (evenly if you can),
Cook on one side for 30 seconds or so on low to medium heat, and turn over and cook the other side for another 10 seconds or so.
Put the crepe on a plate, spread Nutella and add cut up strawberries, and fold. You can certainly use different filling, bananas, blueberries, whipped cream, etc.
